Rating 72.9

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.

Don't give em your phone or email....you'll get spammed to death

I don't live in Ohio any more. I used to play this course, and it's OK.

IVE BEEN GETTING SPAMMED FOR THREE YEARS SINCE I GAVE THEM MY PHONE AND EMAIL.

I've taken every step possible to get off their list: unsubscribe multiple times, called the course multiple times. They promise to take me off their list. I get still get text messages and emails several times a month. Nothing works. It's now beyond irritating.

I've got no alternatives. If you sign up on line and give your phone number, you'll never stop hearing from them. Poor poor service. Be forewarned.

One of Columbus' Best Public Courses

This course is really two separate nines. The front built much later than the back offers a tough but fair start to the round. First hole offers a chance for a good start to the round, and the par-4 7th is reachable with a good drive. If you're hoping to shoot well, the front nine offers a chance to get off to a good start.

The back nine gets more challenging and offers a series of unique holes. 10 is a relatively easy hole, but with the old OSU Observatory sitting in the right rough overlooking the green and drop-off behind it. Quite picturesque. 11 requires a tough carry over a sunken pond, which makes it the toughest hole on the course for many. After a tight but short 12th hole, the 13th is a slight dogleg left par-5 with a 50-foot old oak in the middle of the fairway. Some go over, some go under, some hit drive, some hit a 7-iron. It leaves the golfer with a choice on how to approach the hole. That hole is followed by a par-3 involving a 30-40 foot elevated tee shot to the green below. If the wind is up, it makes this a very tough green to hit. It is then a tough finish (besides 17) to complete the round.

Delaware QC is one of the better and more unique public courses available to play in Central Ohio. Highly recommended.

A windy 9 holes!

Course was beautiful with fall colors and in good condition. Great sand bunkers! Critiques? No bar or grill available and I could not get a rain check because we had to leave early.

Great course, but gimmicky

The Donald Ross nine is fun but three holes ruin it. #11 and #17 both have greens that are on severe slopes that are beyond ridiculous. There is a par 5 on the back that has a large tree in the middle of the fairway 200 yards out, and the fairway is tight so you have no bailout option if you decide not to challenge it. The rest of the course is great. The greens are exceptional for a public course.

Tricky, but still great

Great course, need more info on a few holes such as carry distances for instance on 16. From the tee you can not see any hazard, or even know how far the hazard is so if you plan on playing this course for the first time, might want to grab a yardage book. But not a boring hole on the golf course!

greens were about a 10.5 on the stimp meter and the practice green is probably the fastest on the course.

All in all great course will come back again if i can get it for the right price.

Lovely course

I always enjoy playing this golf course. Greens and fairways are always in great shape. Staff is friendly. The only complaint was the pace of play was on the slow side but the upkeep certainly made up for it.

Plenty of variety, scenic in spots, good greens

Crowded. Tee time were 15 minutes behind and waited most every shot. Took 4:55 to play. Friday before the holiday? Greens were in excellent shape and fast enough based on the slope of some of them.

Played the blues and it was long enough for a senior player at HDCP of 3.8. Some old style holes without the typical tract housing on each side. Scenic vista views on some elevated tees. Would play here often if closer and pace was faster. Grouchy snack bar help to get so-so food at turn didn't help the day.

Didn't finish - rained out

Only got through 8 holes because it started thunderstorming. I do really enjoy playing there because it's like one mile from my home and I can play 18 holes for $30.

Best greens in Central Ohio

The course was in excellent condition. The fairways and greens are immaculate; the greens are really fast, true, and they hold. It's also nice to hit out of bunkers that have been maintained. The layout rewards the player who has played this course a few times.

Hopefully, the word on Delaware GC keeps getting out because of inquiries to develop the back nine into apartments and condos. This course is far too beautiful for that and Donald Ross isn't exactly building golf courses anymore.

NIce day with my sons

Went here while on vacation. We enjoyed the course, it wasn't crowded and was in great shape. Biggest complaint I would have....

As an out of towner it would have been nice if there was signs telling you which direction to go after finishing a hole. The course weaves through a development which makes it difficult without course knowledge. Otherwise enjoyable day

Oustanding Course

This course has something for everyone. Pick your spots carefully and you will be rewarded but miss your spots and you will be challenged to make par. The course was in pristine shape. I wish I had discovered this course earlier. Will most certainly play here again
