Golf in Lewes

Lewes is one of the oldest European settlements in the United States, situated at the mouth of Delaware Bay where the first Dutch colonists arrived in 1631. The town's deep history—the historic district, the Zwaanendael Museum, the fishing fleet, and the terminus of the Cape May–Lewes Ferry—gives it a richness of identity that distinguishes it from the purely resort-focused beach communities to the south. Cape Henlopen State Park provides public beach access and natural landscape within minutes of the town center. American Classic Golf Club and Midway Par 3 serve a golf market shaped by both the permanent resident community and the substantial seasonal population that visits the Lewes area each year.
