Rating 72.9

Delaware Golf Club sprawls across rolling countryside that lends an idyllic and secluded setting. Donald Ross designed the original nine holes in 1922 and they were later joined by a second nine designed by Michael Hurzdan in 1998. The layout meanders through wooded valleys and ravines. The rolling fairways are fairly wide but they are lined with mature trees and bunkers heavily guard the small, undulating greens. There are also water hazards that come into play on a number of holes. Delaware Golf Club's second hole is notably challenging, it is arguably the toughest hole on the front nine. This par-4 requires not only accuracy in order to avoid the ravine on the left but also distance to carry the lake and remain in the angled fairway. Golfers will be faced with one of the most difficult putts on the golf course if their approach finds the wrong side of the green.

Pace of play

You would think that a $70 golf course would ensure appropriate pace of play. 5 hour and 20min round. In my book, that’s the worst thing to mismanage as a golf course. Great course layout though

Too Much for Course

I love the layout of this place but the price is too high before 1:00pm. This is not a $75 golf course during peak hours - I'd say $55 is more justified.

Quality course and staff

Went out for the first time with a friend on a rainy day. Staff was helpful and friendly, the club house was clean and looked well kept. Despite the rain, the course played nicely. It was fairly forgiving out of the tee box, but could be quite challenging around the greens. Pace of play was outstanding.

Great Course

Well taken care of course challenging without being impossible. My only recommendation would would be to be a bit more clear on the tee locations. Couldn't find tee 2! Would have been worse but I joined a pair that had golfers there before. Would definitely come again and recommend the course.

tough course

course is in very good shape. The 9s are totally different (i know one is newer then the other) trees give a course character but some there hang right in front of the green on a couple holes. All in all it is a course worth playing for sure.

Inconsistent course leads to frustrating round

Delaware is a frustrating course to play. The putting green runs an 8 or 9 but the greens on the course are a 5 or 6, with the exception of No. 11, which is severely sloped and a 12. The course tries to be a Links but the staff has no idea how to set one up. Tee boxes point straight into trouble on half the holes. Some greens are inexplicably perched on hills so that any errant shot careens out of play into deep ravines. None of the sprinklers have yardages on them and the bunkers aren't properly maintained. One hole has a massive tree right in the middle of the fairway on a par 5 with OB right and a lateral hazard left -- where are you supposed to hit the ball? Some advice:

1. Get all of the greens the same speed.

2. A Links course should play firm and fast, chips should roll out, not bounce once and sink into sponge.

3. The rough should be to the sides of a hole and behind to catch a shot that is offline.

4. Chop down that tree.

Don’t play this course in the afternoon on weekends. Likely will run out of carts. There is no monitoring of foursomes that take how many carts and there is no starter
