MANAGEMENT TEAM

About the Club Set among the rol l ing hi l ls of the Delaware Val ley and surrounded by land formerly owned by the renowned duPont fami ly, our storied history of over 100 years has sol idified Wi lmington Country Club as one of the finest and most prestigious clubs in the country. Home to two world class golf courses, Wi lmington Country Club has hosted a number of USGA and National Amateur Championships. SOUTH COURSE: The South Course, designed by the legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. , is our signature course and was opened for play on October 8th 1959. Renovated by Keith Foster in 2008, it plays a monstrous 7,334 yards. The North Course reflects Dick Wi lson ’ s course design of smal ler greens, narrower fairways and more sand bunkers than the South Course. NORTH COURSE: TENNIS: Our tennis faci l ity boasts twenty three courts including eleven clay courts, two outdoor hard courts, two grass and six indoor courts. The Mission of The Wi lmington Country Club is to continue to be one of the finest private country clubs in the United States, with a primary emphasis on meeting the desires of its members, their fami l ies and their personal guests.
