Family Secret

The du Pont family built an empire in Wilmington, Delaware, then built a golf course to match. Dick Wilson, the architect behind Bay Hill and Doral, drew up 18 of his finest holes in 1965. Bidermann has operated in near anonymity ever since. But those fortunate enough to have been inside the gates have raved about its blind approaches, complex greens and elegant holes draped over rolling Delaware farmland. For the first time, BTS Premium members will get a coveted chance to go inside those gates. Enter the lottery for one of the rarest invitations on the calendar.

What’s the nearest airport to the Bidermann Golf Course?
