Three Little Bakers Golf Club Site
The owners of Pike Creek Golf Club, formally Three Little Bakers Golf Club, Pike Creek Recreational Services LLC, have been engaged in a lawsuit with New Castle County, Delaware regarding redevelopment of the golf course for housing. In September 2013, a judge ruled that the developers who own the former Pike Creek Golf Course have to preserve 130 acres of land that could function as a golf course and open space. On August 5, 2021, the Delaware Supreme Court upheld the prior decision from 2010 not to designate the 130 acres as open space, reducing the amount of potential homes from 224 to 60.
The Golf Club was a 18 hole semi-private course and operated from 1971 to 2010. It was also the site of a bar, restaurant and dinner theater.
