youth sports banquets at back creek golf club
End of season team dinners, awards nights, and trophy presentations overlooking a links-style championship course in Middletown.
A season ends once. Back Creek Golf Club gives teams across New Castle County somewhere to mark it properly: a private banquet room with golf course views, a buffet built by our executive chef, and a screen ready for the highlight reel. We host end of season dinners and athletic awards nights for youth leagues, travel teams, high school programs, and club sports, from a 25-guest squad dinner to a 120-guest program-wide celebration.
Every banquet comes with the room, the tables and chairs, the linens, the setup and breakdown, and the catering staff, so the coaches and team parents organizing it can actually sit down and enjoy the night. Back Creek sits at the base of the Route 896 bridge in Middletown, minutes from Routes 1 and 13 and an easy drive for families coming from Wilmington, Newark, Odessa, Townsend, and Bear.

Frequently asked questions
What is a sports banquet?
A sports banquet is an end of season celebration where a team, its coaches, and their families gather for a meal, awards, and recognition of the year. Most run two to three hours and pair a buffet or plated dinner with a slideshow, trophy or varsity letter presentations, and senior or MVP recognition. Back Creek hosts banquets for youth leagues, travel teams, high school programs, and club sports across New Castle County.
How many guests can Back Creek host for a sports banquet?
Back Creek hosts sports banquets for 25 to 120 guests. A single travel squad fits comfortably at the low end, and the room scales up for full rosters with parents and siblings, multi team programs, and league wide awards nights. Michele Johnson, our Event Sales and Operations Manager, can recommend a layout based on roster size and program.
What is included in a sports banquet package at Back Creek?
Every sports banquet package includes the room rental, tables and chairs, linens with a choice of napkin color, full setup and breakdown, and professional catering staff. Menus are built around the Back Creek Buffet, with a choice of two or three entrees plus fresh salads, sides, and desserts. Audiovisual equipment for slideshows and awards presentations is available.
Do you have AV for team slideshows and awards presentations?
Yes. Audiovisual equipment is available for photo slideshows, highlight reels, and awards presentations, so coaches can run the season recap without bringing their own gear. Tell us what you plan to show when you book and we will have the room set before the team arrives.
Are kid friendly menu options available?
Yes. Our executive chef can build kid friendly options into any banquet menu alongside the full entree selection, so younger athletes and siblings have something they will actually eat. Dietary restrictions and allergies can be accommodated with advance notice.
