1. Rehoboth Beach Country Club
Â
Rehoboth Beach Country Club, which brands itself as Southern Delaware’s premier country club, is a championship 18-hole golf course only a 10-minute drive from Canalside Inn. This large course has beautifully sculpted greens and fairways and some tricky bunkers and ponds to negotiate for players of all skill levels.

2. Kings Creek Country Club
Â
Kings Creek Country Club is an 18-hole, par-71 championship golf course on the Delmarva Peninsula, only two miles from Canalside Inn. It was built in 1990 featuring bentgrass and is a place you can play golf year-round. It boasts superior country club amenities, including racquet sports, fitness, and swimming facilities. This course was recently renovated, with redesigned bunkers and new short-game practice areas catering to all skill levels. You can also book golf lessons, check out the full-service PGA golf shop to upgrade your gear, or grab a gourmet lunch at their restaurant.

3. Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club
Â
Ocean View’s Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club is a 24-minute drive from Canalside Inn. This club has 27 championship holes divided into three nine-hole courses: Grizzly, Kodiak, and Black Bear. You can play these holes in three different combinations if you want to mix things up a bit. This course has bent-grass fairways with native wetland grasses mixed in to create a challenging landscape. The layout of sandy dunes and grassy hollows, along with strategically placed bunkers, will challenge your skill level. Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club is considered one of the top golf courses to play in Delaware, so it’s worth investigating.
4. Baywood Greens Golf Course

Golfers seeking a more affordable choice may want to check out Baywood Greens, which is a 24-minute drive from Canalside Inn. This is a nine-hole public course that was ranked No. 1 on the Golf Digest Best in State list in 2011-2012. Baywood Greens is suitable for all players from beginner to pro and offers superb practice facilities, a putting and chipping green, and the usual amenities such as food and refreshments – but without country-club prices.
Â
5. The American Classic Golf Club – a 9-Hole Course
Â
The American Classic Golf Club is located only four miles from Canalside Inn and is a good option for those craving something a little different. It is a hybrid 9-hole golf course with a fun, casual vibe but also lots of water and sand challenges, including a quirky island green on hole 6. You can ride around in a golf cart with an American flag on it and choose from sandwiches named after American rock legends, and the dress code is way more relaxed than the usual country club requirements. This is a fun option for a group more interested in leisure than serious golf. You can also opt for a $40 lesson to develop your game.
