Delaware Springs Golf Course

Course is always in great condition. Staff friendly as always

starter forced a threesome and two singles into a fivesome. Result was a five hour round.

I was scheduled to play an early tee time. The course had gotten some rain the day before. It’s about two hours for me to get to the golf course and I was meeting a partner. My partner got there first and called me and said the course was closed. They said that they had sent out a notification which they had 30 minutes before my tee time. Obviously we didn’t see this because we were driving. If you have golfers scheduled and you decide to close the whole course, I would think you should give them a call. Extremely thoughtless. We easily got on a nearby course of higher quality. The staff was rude about it as well. We subsequently went back and played in the afternoon, and the staff wasn’t apologetic offered no discount or anything. Avoid.

The pace of play was horrible. The starter started our 2some about 10 minutes early. Not sure why but this put us right behind a group of 5 elderly men (obviously members) that hit the ball about 150 yards at a time. They looked like they were just wandering around sometimes often in the brush urinating. We had another group behind us that hit in to us. When I asked the short guy who thought he was Greg Norman in the group of 5 if we could skip to the hole in front of them he got rude and said no. We talked to the Marshall but obviously they know these guys. It’s a retirement community. Plenty of other nice courses out there.

This course is my home course but I think it is one of the best courses in the greater Austin area. The staff gives you that small town hospitality. It is well maintained and requires you to hit an array of clubs. The pace can get a little backed up just because like everyone nowadays they do 8 minute spreads.

Course is always in great shape, staff friendly and very welcoming. My only concern is charging for a rider in the cart. Seems a bit extra to me personally

The course was in great shape. No issues. For a holiday weekend, we finished in 4.5 hours.

With the ridiculous price increases at courses like Avery, Teravista, etc., I am having to play further and further outside of town. Delaware Springs is a great course, wide open, in decent condition. This Sunday was great, I got out by myself and had a blast. Wish there were a few more options for water on the course, but oh well.

Was super impressed with the course conditions especially after all the rain we have had lately. Yes there are some areas that are under construction but it didn’t really bother us. The Marshall’s presence was pretty consistent but not overbearing which was appreciated especially considering that some of the holes were cart path only so there was some slower pace at those particular holes. Overall great course and great staff and will definitely be returning.

After our area received two days of much needed rain, I totally understand implementing "cart path only", but please space out your tee times. Not doing so, significantly impacts pace of play. The players I was teamed up with bailed after 12 holes (3hrs and 55 minutes) leaving me essentially stranded with longer wait times between holes/shots. I bailed after 14 which was 4hours 44 minutes from my tee time. Please use some common sense or AI !!

I love this course and the staff, but the management at times leaves much to be desired.

Had to end my round early because of the slew pace of play. They pack tee times 8 mins apart even on cart path only days. And let people play six to a group. Or bring their kids for a picnic. Avoid.

It’s a nice course and it was fun but the pace of play was so slow that it ruined the round. Took an hour to to play 3 holes. The Marshall came by 3 times on the front 9 and didn’t say anything until after we passed the slow groups on the turn after 4 holes the Marshall came to us and said we had to hurry up because they’re was no one for 2 holes in front of us?? There wasn’t anyone waiting on us or even on the same hole we were on waiting? Lol idc it’s just weird that’s when they decide to say something. Not the 3 hours it took to play 9 holes. A group of 3 of us played the back 9 in an hour and 10 minutes but we were the ones that got called out for being slow

After some recent Central Texas rain, the course was the greenest that I’ve ever seen. If it weren’t for the 100% humidity it would have been perfect!

Love Delaware Springs and have been making a 45 minute drive to play it for at least a decade, but the pace of play has become atrocious. The last two rounds I've played there have each been 5+ hours and marshalls do not care. Stacking 8 minute tee times doesn't help. I've also walked off the course in the last 12 months after 9 holes because of how slow it is there.

Will probably play here a lot less moving forward, which sucks, because the course is great and is in phenomenal shape. But standing on every tee box for 5-10 minutes isn't my idea of a good time. The staff desperately needs to address the issue.
