About
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.

Thanks so taking the time to give us such a great rating!
We really appreciate you leaving us a great rating!
Great Course
Great course for the money. Course conditions are excellent
Thanks for your review! We're glad you loved our course!
Thank you for visiting us at Delaware Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Excellent Condition, POOR pace of play
Course was in great condition, but pace of play was terrible. Round took 5 1/2 hours to play. Starter was sending groups out as they showed up. No organization and rangers did nothing to speed up play.
Thanks for your honest feedback. We apologize you had this experience, and we will pass this along to our team so we can work to make changes. We hope to see you back again soon.
Great shape
Play many public courses in the northern Columbus area and this one is by far in the best shape of the closest 5 courses. Donald Ross designed 9/18 holes and the whole courses layouts and greens are great. Highly recommend playing here if you plan to play in the near future as courses conditions can change.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We greatly appreciate your recommendation, and we are looking forward to having you back here again soon!
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're thrilled you enjoyed your round.
Great course but SLOW!
The course is always in great shape but unfortunately, that is often ruined by the pace of play. The last 2 rounds I've played have taken over 5 hours. For a 4 o'clock Sunday tee time, we didn't tee off on #1 until 430. No starter or ranger to be found.
Feels like 2 separate golf courses
The original 9 holes of this course is an older Donald Ross design that makes up the back 9. The front 9 of this course feels more modern and similar to most private clubs I’ve played. The course is challenging and fun but the off course amenities are lacking. They have a bar and a few food items available but nothing to write home about.
Thanks so much for the review!

GREAT COURSE
I had a great time playing this course. Best set up I’ve played all year.
We're so glad you had such a great time at the course! Thanks so much for the wonderful review and rating!
Thanks so much for taking the time to rate us 4 stars! We really appreciate you coming out the course and hope to have you back again soon!
Golf Cart Problem
Were told we had to put 2 people in each cart whether they had a plastic divider or not or pay $10 extra to have a single rider in a cart. Where is their 6 ft social distancing?
Hi Shirley. We are working hard to maintain social distancing practices, and ensure the safety and well being of all who come to our course. We appreciate your feedback, and encourage you to reach out to our golf shop with any other concerns. Thanks so much!
Beautiful fairways and Greens
All the recent rain has created a big challenge for clubs to keep up with the mowing. DGC is no different; nevertheless, the fairways and greens were excellent but the edges where the fairway edges were high making shots just off line frequently impossible to find. I was able to play here today because of a really good Golf Now discounted rate and was thoroughly impressed.
Thank you so much for your rating. We are working hard to keep our course beautifully maintained, despite the rainfall we have been receiving. We are so glad you enjoyed your round here, and we are already looking forward to seeing you back here again soon!
SLOW SLOW SLOW SLOW
This is a nice course. I’m sure the employees are nice people.
But today SUCKED.
It took my son and me 4 hours and 25 minutes to play 14.5 holes. This is NOT A TYPO.
We quit in the middle of the 15th fairway. PICKED UP OUR BALLS AND DROVE TO THE PARKING LOT!
This would have been a SIX HOUR ROUND OF GOLF!
THIS SUCKED!!!
There was a foursome ahead of us. A fivesome ahead of them. And a foursome of women ahead of them who clearly were not golfers.
They ought to have been thrown off the course.
TODAY WAS A JOKE!!!
A DISASTER!!!
IT SUCKED!!!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes, and ensure future rounds are quicker. Thanks for visiting Delaware Golf Club. We hope to see you again in the future.
Golfing in Delaware, Ohio
Great day on the golf course!!! First time on this course. Overall, it was fine and I would play again. There isn’t much of cart path on the back 9 and the majority of the path needs replaced. Signs on the course identifying the holes would have been helpful.
Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it!
Fine course.
Although the course was slightly soggy from prior days rains, and carts were restricted to paths, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day. The greens were recently punched and sanded and are almost back to normal, and the tees and fairways are in excellent condition. Given it's multiple tees it's as challenging as you want it to be. So, it's a beautiful and challenging, but totally fair course, and I'll play it often.
We are so glad you had such a great time, even with the rainy days we have been experiencing! We cannot wait to have you back here again soon!
what. a day!
the course is laid out beautifully, most tees well marked, even now. staff very helpful and friendly. the rough a bit challenging - would avoid it. sand traps in better shape than most in OH, but happily, we avoided most.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are so glad you love our course layout, and our staff is working hard to ensure you have a great experience. We are already looking forward to having you back for your next round!
