Golf in Millsboro

Millsboro is a growing community in western Sussex County that has experienced rapid residential development as the retirement and resort market has expanded inland from the Delaware beaches. Plantation Lakes Golf Course and The Peninsula Golf and Country Club reflect two distinct development models—Plantation Lakes serving the inland planned community market and The Peninsula occupying a bay-peninsula setting in the Rehoboth Bay waterway system. Millsboro's traditional identity as an agricultural and commercial town on Indian River Bay has been overlaid with the resort-residential development that has characterized much of inland Sussex County's growth, and the golf infrastructure reflects the recreational expectations of a community whose demographics have shifted significantly toward retirees and seasonal households.
