Delaware Golf Club

Played with several out-of-state friends this past Saturday as we wanted to play somewhere we knew would be in good condition. Course was in great shape. Greens rolled fast and true. Despite recent heavy rains, the course had drained well and fairways and tee boxes were well-trimmed. Could easily take a divot in fairways.

Have played at Delaware many times. Staff were very friendly today and accommodating which was nice - considering it had been different when I played before. Happy to enjoy some time with friends playing the game we love.

Great layout & pure greens.

Waiting 10+ mins in the pro shop for anyone to check us in. Range was closed because the employee that gets them from the pond didn’t show up.

Hit off the 1st at 10:14am.

Got back in our car at 3:20pm.

This track is home of the 5 hour round.

If you read other reviews about money, know that if people will pay a certain amount for a round of golf, the course will keep charging that much.

First time playing it, we started on the white tees, but after both of us had birdie putts, we decided to play from the tips for the rest of the round. Wow, what a tough course. There is so much undulation on nearly every fairway, your feet are above or below the ball constantly. The rough is brutal, at least a club and half up if you are even in the first cut (lost 3 balls that just leaked off the fairway). I am a 16 HC and ended up shooting a 98, not bad for not knowing the course. The back 9 is 1000 times harder than the front, and it plays like two diffrent courses, which makes sense as it started as a nine hole course.

If you have not played here, it is well worth it, the staff is amazing, fairways pristine, and greens roll nice.

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

Highly recommend! Very fairly priced. Nice carts. Great greens. Challenging but rewarding course. Will be back

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
