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 day on the links during the virus

I took advantage of a Golfnow promo code to play here. Never been here while it was Delaware GC, but did play back in the day (30 years ago) when it was Dornoch GC. Course was in great shape and as a single I was paired with 3 very nice folks. The greens has been airaited some time ago but were still effected by the experience. If not for the promo code, I probably would not have played here (just a little more cost than I allow myself to experience).

Great course

This course was absolutely amazing. The pace of play was perfect in the course condition was top-notch. I would definitely play this course again however the 2 Hour drive makes it hard.

Difficult to find the tee off place

Overall condition of fairways and green was very good. But, the layout of golf course cannot understand due to many crossover the roads and near to houses. Also, some course was very difficult to find the exact location due to no direction of course.

Bucket List Must

This course is always a good challenge and we always have a great time. The Donald Ross designed back 9 is a real treat. Despite the advantages in new technology the course holds it own.

Highly Recommended

This was our first time playing here- the guy in the clubhouse told us that they had "the best greens in Ohio", and I don't think he was kidding. The greens (and really the whole course in general) were in excellent condition. There is water in play on a few holes, and some well placed bunkers that will catch errant tee shots and approaches. Everything considered, the course is just challenging enough to be quite enjoyable.

Good conditions, POOR staff!

First time making a trip to this course and to be honest, the course beat my expectations. It has a very private club feel which is likely due to it used to be in a private club. The course is in great condition from tee to green and the layout wasn’t bad either.

One of the rare aqua driving ranges you will find in the area which is not my favorite but at least they have a range. Surprising they don’t have a better practice area.

The staff…… When we arrive, nobody was behind the front desk. Being a former golf pro myself that has worked at The staff…… When we arrived, nobody was behind the front desk. Being a former golf pro myself, it is a huge no-no. Not only is the register right there but also all of your merchandise. Never seen that before. After about five minutes, the person working decided to show up while on the phone. Based on the bits and pieces of the conversation you could hear, it didn’t seem like a business call. He was more interested in letting us know that he was about to play himself. Little did we know he would be right behind us. Unfortunate for both of us.

Because he was more interested in his phone call, there were no questions about if we knew where we were going or if we knew the carts did not have keys or any of that. I literally came in two minutes later (needed a cart key), and he didn’t even remember that I was there before.

And then to make matters worse, not only did he himself, hit into us at least twice, he would constantly drive the cart around the tee boxes when we were teeing off. We were waiting for the group in front of us which is why he was able to catch us. He should know better than to do something like that. I had to ask him to not do that anymore. He should be above that and no better being a employee of the club. Embarrassing.

Some good things some not so good

The service in the pro shop ruined the entire experience. The greeting was sad. He must have been having a bad morning. July 5th. He did not give good customer service. We asked about range balls and he snapped back and said I don’t have any right now with an attitude no apology or remorse. He was not pleasant and seemed Pre occupied. Just not a great way to treat customers paying $50 each for a round of golf.

Laurie at the snack bar was terrific and friendly as well as the marshal. Course was in really good shape. Overall had a great time, but the initial greeting I at the pro shop was not good, not pleasant, not inviting.

Best Conditions across the board for the entire course I have ever seen. Nothing else to say and an absolute steal of a twilight rate for $25.

Good value

For the price, it's hard to complain. It's a decent course in a nice area. They were obviously understaffed as the guy at the pro shop was the guy at the bar, but he was very nice.

The problem is the same for golf in general - slow play. I hate it and won't go back to places that tolerate it. Good or bad doesn't matter, just play quickly.

Closed the course

After a thunderstorm rolled through they sent someone out to tell us the course was closed. The course was not in bad shape. The clubhouse said that the superintendent called in and closed the course. It would have been nice for the super to come look at the course. Course was in great shape and I love this course design.

Beautiful Course

When I played it had been raining for a few days so the course was wet but it was in good condition especially considering how early in the year it was. The differences between the back 9 and front 9 are fun and unique. Only complaint is that Big Tree in the fairway on # 13 ! will play again for sure !
