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.

Fun

What a fun course. Teed off at 7am in thick fog. Couldn’t see the 1st fairway, let alone the shape of the hole. Didn’t matter. What a fun course. 1st 9 weaves between houses and has a modern style. Back 9 is basically the old Donald Ross—some great holes, especially 11. Elevation changes, mix of wide and narrow fairways. Greens were fine. I can’t imagine there’s a better 18 hole value in the Columbus area.

Confusing

It’s been a while since I’ve played this course, and it was a little confusing at times since there was no cart path to follow. But made it through. The course is in great great shape, and I would play it again.

Just a nice place to play

staff is nice and helpful, the other golfers show overall good etiquette and really is a great play to get a round in. The course has some challenging holes, but overall is set up more for just enjoying the course and the game. The only weird thing to me is that the driving range uses aqua balls that float because you hit into a large pond on purpose which in a way I guess gets all your hitting over water jitters out. If I can gind a tee time here, more times than not I will take it

Graet Course Design

Great course design with well maintained fairways & bunkers. Greens rolled well but there were an insane amount of unfixed divots. Sometimes it was like putting through a minefield. I had to move my ball numerous times to avoid putting through ball marks. Overall though, I would recommend the course to anyone. My only other criticism is there is too much of a differential between the white & blue tees (over 700 yards). The course only plays 5712 from the whites while it plays 6434 from the blues. Two holes alone have over a 100 yard difference between tee boxes. My recommendation for a mid handicapper would be to play all par 4's over 400 yards from the whites & the rest of the course from the blues (just a suggestion since it would make posting a score for handicap inaccurate) One other compliment is the courses outside patio. They have a very large spread out sheltered seating area, an outdoor food & beverage station and outside check in to comply with COVID-19 guidelines.

Good, Bad, and the Ugly

Joined as a member this year. Played about 20 rounds.

GOOD: Course layout & water range are unique and usually hit every club in the bag. Dogs & brats at the turn are great!

BAD: No cart girl,, no ranger, no starter. Sometimes you tee off a few minutes early, but usually 10-15 mins late. On the weekend, if you tee off in the AM this is the home of the 5 hour plus round. Today’s nine holes took 2:45, wait on literally every shot. Fastest full round was 4.5 hours. Slow gas carts, $10 extra to social distance. Cart paths are like off roading in many spots.

UGLY: As a non member you can make a teetime through various apps or the website. As a member, neither option is available. You have to call and reserve a time then just show up & hope. Website was supposed to be ready in January. No update. If you have to take 23N to the course, double your estimated drive time. You’ll average at best 35-40 mph.

Good decision

I've been trying to play courses I haven't played locally and chose this one recently, and I was not disappointed. The greens could have been a bit faster , but the holes were well-placed, allowing you to try to get close while still giving you an "out" if necessary. From the back tees ( blue or black)I had the opportunity to play every club in the bag. A nice change. A good choice for something different.

Great course. Lots of character in every hole. It had just rained the day before so course was a tad soppy considering how hot it had been, making the greens really slow but that would be my only complaint. Gorgeous course.

Not what I expected... in a good way

I've only ever seen this course from US 23 - so I was skeptical at what it would actually look like but I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. It's not long but it is tight - you need to hit your drives straight or you'll be in a backyard or in some thick woods. Greens were in good shape but ran slow. Couldn't use the Clubhouse due to CV-19 but precautions were in place to keep us safe.

Great fun course when not over watered

Their rates went up so I have not played here for while so when I saw a discount rate on golfnow that I can use coupon code for, I decided to check it out. Course has fun layout and can play difficult when tee shots don't find the fairways. I played around 2PM in the afternoon and for whatever reason, there was long back up and course played slow. Had to wait around every hole starting hole number 3. It was very hot day so I understand the need to water but at 2PM? It made the course soggy and greens were really slow due to watering. I come here to play because of their fast and undulating greens and it definitely wasn't that. It was still good round and I recommend others to play it.
