Extraordinary by every measure … The “D” is Delaware’s premier wedding, banquet, meeting and special events facility, located on the picturesque grounds of Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club. Seldom do we get a chance to honestly use the word “grand” today. But that is the only word that can adequately express the unique appeal of this truly extraordinary facility. The “D” at Deerfield is a versatile, elegant events
facility that can accommodate Stately architecture and classic columns give The “D” a refined air everywhere you look … fine art adorns virtually every wall … exquisite décor is tastefully understated … continuous walls of floor-to-ceiling glass connect this elegant interior to a wide, flowing Terrace and the breathtaking, natural setting that surrounds The “D” – beautiful, landscaped grounds, manicured fairways and greens as well as panoramas of the scenic ancient forest of White Clay Creek State Park. Heritage Originally built by the DuPont Corporation for its employees in 1955, the club was called Louviers Country Club. In 1994 MBNA purchased the club from DuPont and built the new clubhouse ballroom and recreational building, renaming it Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club. 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 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. Forewinds is in the midst of a myriad of capital improvements to enhance the unequaled grand elegance of this natural treasure. Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club opened to the public for the first time in 51 years on April 14, 2006. Forewinds Hospitality Forewinds Hospitality owns and manages golf courses, country clubs, restaurants, catering facilities, and conference centers from Delaware to Massachusetts … creating “Hospitality Destinations” – warm, welcoming hospitality environments that deliver Forewinds’ exclusive Hospitality PLUS!SM to every guest. A Forewinds guest experience is unlike anything you have ever experienced. |
