There are three golf courses at DuPont Country Club but the jewel in the crown is the DuPont layout which was resurrected by Lester George in 2005.

DuPont Country Club (DuPont)
One of three 18-hole layouts at the DuPont Country Club, the DuPont course was originally designed by Alfred Tull in 1949 and it played host to the LPGA Championships from 1994 to 2004 when Laura Davies, Julie Inkster, Se Ri Pak and Annika Sorenstam each won the event twice.
Virginian architect Lester George was called in to remodel the layout in 2005 and it has since been used for the Delaware State Championships as well as regional qualifying for the US Open and US Amateur.
The 460-yard 15th is considered the signature hole on the DuPont course. A creek called “Husbands Run” flanks the right side of the hole on this par four before cutting across the fairway in front of a heavily contoured green.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
