About Deerfield

Originally built by the DuPont Corporation for its employees in 1955, the club was originally called Louviers Country Club. In 1994, MBNA purchased the club from DuPont and built the new clubhouse ballroom and recreational building, renaming it Deerfield. In 2005 the state of Delaware acquired the 145-acre property to protect the land from development. The club is part of Delaware’s White Clay Creek State Park and is supervised by the Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation. In February 2006, the Division of Parks and Recreation retained Forewinds Hospitality to manage the property. Deerfield opened to the public for the first time in 51 years on April 14, 2006.
