Pennsylvania Golf Courses : Delaware County
Created on September 6, 1789, from part of Chester County, and named for the Delaware River, which in turn had been named for Lord de la Warr, governor of Virginia. Media, its county seat since 1850, was incorporated as a borough on March 11, 1850, and named for its central location in the county. Chester, its original county seat, was the county seat of Chester County before 1788, and the temporary capital of Pennsylvania, 1681-1682, before Philadelphia was laid out. The county adopted a home rule charter in May 1975. Delaware includes the first permanent European settlement, the Swedes on Tinicum Island in 1643. The center of the Battle of Brandywine in 1777 was in Delaware. Phenomenal population growth occurred steadily after 1800, until a fall off began in 1980. Its many fast streams made it a milling center for lumber, grains, paper, tobacco, and textiles, and it was located on main roads south and west from Philadelphia. Shipbuilding flourished, beginning in the colonial period, and oil refineries arose in the early twentieth century. Industrial jobs brought in a large immigrant population and from 1885 to 1915 middle class families from Philadelphia relocated here. Once a strong dairy and mushroom farm area, agriculture is now almost gone. Farms occupy only 7 percent of the land. There were Underground Railroad stations in Chester Borough, Upper Darby, and Newtown Square, and Martin Luther King Jr. was educated at Crozier Baptist Seminary. Colleges and universities include Swarthmore, Haverford, Villanova, Cheyney State, and Widener. Now it’s time to see the Pennsylvania golf courses in Delaware County.

This is a shot maker's course. The course has undergone a complete renovation including all new bent grass tees, the reworking of thirty sand bunkers, plus the addition of thirteen new bunkers. Twelve of the greens were enlarged and returned to their original size, and a state-of-the-art irrigation system was installed. The fairways are moderately wide open and there are many blind shots to the greens. Water comes into play on six holes.

The front nine is more open and has a (linksy) feel, while the back nine is tree-lined and more of a traditional parkland track. The fairways vary throughout, and the large undulating greens roll fast. Water comes into play on one hole.

This executive course is very hilly, so come prepared for some extra exercise, as well as a few uneven lies. The greens are fast year-round and relatively flat. The fairways are wide open with very few trees standing in the way of the greens. The signature hole is 7, a 331-yard, par 4, which has a slight dogleg left fairway. Water hazards come into play on thirteen holes.

This club has two regulation eighteen hole courses. Guests are not allowed to play either course unless accompanied by a club member. Both courses are built on gently rolling terrain and feature fast greens and narrow fairways that have limited trees, but are lined by a thick rough. Both courses are kept in excellent condition, although the East Course is kept up to championship-level standards every day. One of the best holes on the East Course is 16, featuring a limestone quarry in front of the green that must be carried on the approach shot.

This course has well-established trees lining its fairways. There are various trees such as live oaks that keep the course green year-round. "This is a tough course with treacherous fairways," states the head professional. The fairways are tight and undulating, so expect some uneven lies. The greens are fast and undulating. This course has one downhill hole and all the rest play uphill. There are some water hazards that come into play on holes 7 and 8 and sometimes on holes 13 through 16.

This course was built on rolling terrain and has one pond that comes into play on two holes. Fruit trees are scattered throughout the design and can pose a problem on errant tee shots. With individual hole yardage ranging from 40 to 90 yards, this course is perfect for practicing the short game and great for beginners and elderly players.

The well-manicured greens are slightly sloped, fast, and small. The terrain is flat, so the course is easy to walk, however you must be accompanied by a caddie if you choose to walk. The fairways are tree lined and bordered by a standard cut of rough.
