Delaware Golf Club

Charging country club rates for municipal course conditions and pace of play is unfortunate.

I enjoyed the driving range which also had a sand trap to practice in. Putting green very large but no flags in the holes. Was able to tee off prior to our time as another group was not ready.

Liked complimentary water refill at the turn

Very fortunate to get out Memorial Day after the rain. Pace of play wasn’t an issue being the 2nd group off, saw the group behind us on 17 fairway when we were putting our stuff away.

Conditions were a little soggy, CPO on the front and scatter on back mostly due to no cart paths there. Front starts off a little tight through a neighborhood but then opens up. Back nine definitely had some quirks to it that aren’t for everybody (like a tree in middle of fairway on 13). Greens were rolling good, slower than usual and looks like they’re battling something on 13 and 16 green.

A great public course in Columbus metro area! Reasonably challenging front 9 but wait until you get the back 9, which is truly Donald Ross-intimidating. First time playing here and thoroughly enjoyed.

First round at Delaware GC this season, and unfortunately it was the roughest condition I’ve seen the course in after playing it 15+ times over the last few years.

On this particular Monday evening:

• Pace of play was extremely slow, especially with what appeared to be league play ahead of us.

• The staff member at the counter mentioned there was no starter on duty, and there didn’t appear to be a ranger managing pace either.

• Without a starter, groups and singles weren’t being proactively paired together, which only added to the backups.

• The foursome ahead of us blamed the single and twosome in front of them for the delays because they were walking, but they also chose not to let faster groups play through. (We actively watched all four players hit into the trees on Holes 11, 12, & 13)

As for the course conditions:

• Hole 13’s green was in very poor shape, and maintenance was actively being performed while groups were still playing nearby.

• I understand maintenance is necessary, but doing significant work during active rounds only added to the frustration and delays.

• Hole 15’s tee box was heavily overgrown around the edges, which raised concerns about the overall upkeep of the course right now.

I’ve always enjoyed playing Delaware GC, which is why this round was disappointing to experience. I know courses go through difficult stretches with staffing, maintenance, and weather challenges, so I genuinely hope this was just a temporary setback and that the course can return to the level of quality it’s been known for in the past.

Excellent.. Good conditions even after the rain. Most greens very good. Couple with bare spots. Well maintained

We have played few times here and always had a great time!!Can not wait to play again!!

Delaware was in great shape, greens rolled well, etc. Especially for mid April. The only complaint was the roughs were extremely high and tough. I am sure that is a early season issue with the weather we have had and will be taken care of moving forward.

Very good day at Delaware Golf club. For mid April, the course was in very good shape, including the manicured bunkers throughout the course. The only real negative was the pace of play due to a slow 4some 2 groups in front of us. We skipped hole #10 at the turn to get by them, and we hoped to play #10 at the end of our day, but it was too busy to squeeze in there. Overall, very good course, and it is a tough track.
