About Southern Delaware Golf Club
Southern Delaware Golf Club traces its origins to 1960, when it opened as a nine-hole layout called Shawnee Country Club. Today it plays as an 18-hole parkland-style course set just beyond historic downtown Milford.
The course has undergone a complete renovation, which included new greens and new bunkering. It is open to the public, with a layout intended to present a challenge while remaining playable for golfers of varying ages and skill levels.
