I was there for a baby shower, so I can only talk about the premises and not about the golf course. The facilities were very nice, clean, and the staff was very nice. We had a great time, and drinks and food were also good.

Attended a Christmas party there. The bar area was fine for the size of our group however it was so loud that I had difficulty talking with the bartender to request a beverage. On the other hand, the dining room was perfect for our size group of 60 to 70 people. The dance floor was a perfect size for our group and the acoustics were pretty good for chatting with friends, even with a DJ playing our favorite tunes. The only shortcoming, the staff could not keep up with the demands of the dessert/beverage table. Not enough coffee and coffee cups, dessert replenishment was very slow. Didn’t seem to be anyone monitoring the consumption, but the quality of the desserts were very good.

Visited for a private holiday party. The food was very nice. Label on the roasted root vegetables would have been nice as most thought they were roasted potatoes to much disappointment. The staff were all wonderful and very attentive except the older woman at the desk at the door who was on the phone and wasn't any help when I arrived late not knowing where to go. Decorated very nice for the season. Especially liked the lights strung around but the chandeliers could've been brighter. There can still be ambience and be able to see ones food. Over all very nice and spacious.

Overall? Fantastic. Great location. Accommodating management and staff. Lots of history (attended 95th anniversary as part of the New Castle County Chamber of Commerce) and met many connected and influential people from nearby. Updates! If you have not seen this building recently, you deserve to visit. Lots of parking. Beautiful course. Majestic and at the same time, not pretentious. Looking forward to next visit.
