Maple Dale Country Club

The current location of Maple Dale Country Club has a rich history intertwined with the early history of Delaware. The land was known as Virgin Choice when Jane Bartlett took it up in 1681. The original deed, dated 1684 and signed by William Penn, assigned “Foxhall in the County of Kent” to John Reynolds for a yearly stipend of one bushel of wheat per 100 acres of land. Purchased in 1708 by Owen David of Wales with his father-in-law, the Foxhall Tract included an area of land from Hazletville Road north to Denney’s Road. Maple Dale was established in 1925 as a three-hole course and expanded to nine holes in the mid-30’s. After relocating in 1969, it was enlarged to a full 18 holes and now offers a mature course set amidst a wooded terrain, dotted with various ponds. A nineteenth hole was added in 2012. This USGA championship rated 18 – hole course is as challenging and fun, as it is beautiful, having only one recorded score below par in a 36-hole tournament. Players will test their course management skills.
