Event Venue in Delaware | Back Creek Golf Club
A new castle county event venue
The Perfect Setting for any Event
Back Creek Golf Club is one of the premier event venues in Delaware, set against a links-style championship course at the base of the Route 896 bridge in Middletown. Our versatile clubhouse hosts gatherings from intimate parties to celebrations of up to 100 guests — birthday and anniversary parties, retirement and graduation celebrations, showers, banquets, fundraisers, and more. Our dedicated events team pairs customizable catering packages with attentive, detail-driven service that turns an ordinary date into a memory your guests carry home.
our event spaces
Back Creek’s clubhouse is built to flex around your guest list. Our event space comfortably accommodates up to 100 guests for seated banquets and receptions, and it scales down gracefully for smaller party venues in Delaware — intimate showers, milestone birthdays, and team luncheons that feel personal rather than cavernous. The surrounding fairways give every gathering a backdrop most banquet-hall-only venues in New Castle County can’t match.
Whether you’re planning a 20-guest baby shower or a 100-guest awards banquet, every event unfolds against a links-style golf course just minutes from Routes 1 and 13 and the greater Middletown–Odessa–Townsend area.
