The Salt Pond Golf Club
About The Salt Pond Golf Club
The Salt Pond Golf Club is an 18-hole public course of mid length set within a residential community of 538 homes and townhomes in Bethany Beach, Delaware. Ponds and stretches of natural woodland frame the holes and give the layout its character.
The manicured course is designed to test experienced golfers while remaining playable for women, juniors, seniors and beginners. Rounds move quickly, with most foursomes finishing in under three hours, leaving time for the nearby beaches the same day.
