Ed Oliver Golf Club

Ed Oliver Golf Club, in Wilmington Delaware, was built on the original site of the Wilmington Country Club. Of the original course design, all that remains is a 100 year old chimney located on our signature 18th hole and something everyone must see!

Wilfred Reid designed the original layout that was later redesigned twice, first by Alfred H. Tull, and later by Edmund B. Ault. Since the final redesign by Mr. Ault in 1971, the layout has essentially remained the same.
