Mulligan’s Pointe

Mulligan’s Pointe, previously the private Sussex Pines Country Club, is now a public venue. The 18-hole golf course is located in Georgetown, Delaware.

Mulligan’s Pointe, southeast of Georgetown, opened as a nine-hole facility in 1967. The popular Mid-Atlantic golf architect Edmund Ault laid out the original course. The "new" nine, laid out by golf architect Al Janis, opened in 1989.

This flat course has greens that can be difficult to read. In addition, many of the fairways are lined with mature trees.

#14, a 494-yard, par 5, is the signature hole. This hole has an undulating, two-tiered green with pine trees running along both sides of the fairway. Water also runs 200 yards down the left side of the fairway, and sand bunkers well protect the green.

Five of the holes are open to the elements, while the other thirteen are primarily in the tall woods. Water comes into play on about six holes, and on a few more holes for those having a really bad day. Wind conditions will usually dictate how easy the round will be.

The regular tees measure 6,659 yards, par is 72, and the USGA slope rating is 122. That's about a stroke harder than average.
