About Ed Oliver Golf Course

Ed Oliver Golf Course is a historic public facility operated by the City of Wilmington along North Dupont Road, honoring the legacy of Delaware golf legend Ed Oliver who was born in Wilmington and became one of the most beloved PGA Tour professionals of his era. The course provides affordable public golf within the city limits, serving Wilmington residents and Delaware golf enthusiasts who want to pay tribute to one of the state most famous golfers. The layout is shorter and more accessible than the county courses nearby, making it particularly well-suited for beginners, juniors, and players who prefer a less demanding day on the course. City-operated pricing makes it one of the most affordable 18-hole rounds available in the entire Wilmington market. Ed Oliver serves as a living tribute to Delaware golf history and an important entry point for new golfers in the city.
