ODESSA NATIONAL GOLF CLUB

The rolling farmland of central Delaware provides an unexpectedly dramatic canvas for this Tom Clark design, where elevation changes of 60 feet create strategic interest rarely found in the Mid-Atlantic's flatter terrain. Clark routed the layout to maximize these natural undulations, particularly on the par-4 7th that plunges downhill to a green guarded by a stone-lined creek. The conditioning punches above its public access price point, with bentgrass fairways that hold firm through Delaware's humid summers and greens complex enough to reward local knowledge without punishing the occasional visitor.
