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.

Nice kept fairways and greens

First time playing is tough as tees and pathways to tees are very confusing. Grounds are well maintained, winds around residential areas and roads.

Slow day

This course is the best public course that you will find. Pace of play was absurdly slow today, 4 hrs 40 min. Some tee boxes are in desperate need of repair. Love seeing the course busy, but hate it when I get stuck in it.

Late August 2020 - Course in Great Shape

Played late August 2020 - course was in great shape. Tee boxes were soft and in good shape. Fairways were nicely mowed and you could take a nice divot. Greens were well-trimmed and rolled true. Some were faster than others, which is to be expected given how much shade some pasta is this course get. Rough was long and challenging, but not impossible to hit out of. This course has a challenging layout and rewards accurate shots. I experienced a lot of trouble with shots hit out of bounds and into hazards, but I had fun playing the course.

A Quality Golf Experience

If you’re looking for the best of both new and old designed course layout then this is a must visit in the greater Columbus area. The front is an absolute immaculately manicured modern design that plays through a wooded residential area that still allows the feeling of never being crowded by the homes that border the course. The bent grass fairways and greens are as good as you’ll find in the area and the bunkers are the best maintained for any public course you’ll find. At the turn, the open air patio gives you quick and easy access to food, beverage, and anything you may require for your round. The back nine is a completely different animal with classic Donald Ross greens that await you at the end of each well cared fairway that rolls along the natural terrain and challenge you with every kind of lie possible. The staff is friendly and courteously attentive to give you the best experience possible.

Rush

We didn’t know that a outing was happening and were being pushed to finish by a certain time. I barely played because I felt bad for golfers behind my wife and I waiting. It wasn’t fun because of a timing constraint. If they have a outing then block off those times. This was frustrating.
