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.

Fast true greens- great fairways
This course is a challenge. Fast greens. I would guess around 11 on the stimp meter. Lots of undulation. Better bring your "A" putter. We were taking huge divots with our our irons in the fairways- soft but firm in August- real nice fairways that you can't bump to a better lie. The course is in great overall shape and challenging. White tees are real short 5700 yards. The blue tees are around 6300 yards which is what I reccommend for the person that normally plays from the white tees. We paid $28 for 18 holes/cart on Friday with golf now and that's a fair price. This is a must play course
Great Course - Fun with a Few Challenges
Booked a 3-some with a couple of friends who had played Delaware before. This was my first time playing the course.
The greens were amongst the fastest that I have played in the area and they always rolled true. They had some challenging pin placements that required accurate readings to make the putt.
The fairways were very well manicured and the ball always had a great lie when in the fairway. Great work on the fairways.
There are some challenges on the course. Overall, it plays pretty easy, but a wayward shot will cost you. Some tree placements are less than favorable and borderline unfair, but they make for a great challenge.
I was glad to have the GolfNow deal with a riding cart. The day we played was humid and warm and the course is laid out spaciously, so I was glad to ride.
Staff were friendly and there were no pace of play issues whatsoever. Had a tasty chicken salad sandwich at the turn.
Very nice for a SD course
Meanders through a sub division, but the house are not that intrusive. Greens and fairways were perfect!
great conditions, but rained out
I wasn't a huge fan of this course 10 years ago, but it's grown on me now. It was in fantastic condition (other than some divots on the green...please guys, learn to fix a ball mark, and if you're not sure if you made one, just fix ANYTHING you see!), and is a very nice layout. It's obvious the 2 nines were built decades apart, but not in a bad way at all. We got a hot deal for $35 yesterday and it's an excellent value on a Sunday.
Great course
I've been playing here a few years now. Never a bad experience. Good layout with a mix of challenging holes. Staff is always great. Course was in good condition minus people not fixing their divots and ball markers.
Great course, very poor pace of play
Course is a great value for the money and in very good shape. Pace of play was horrible. No spacing of tee times and no Ranger to keep play moving.
Great course and well maintained
Would definitely recommend! Well laid out and always in great condition.
Pleasant Afternoon Round
Course play fair and is in excellent condituion. Facilities are comfortable and location is easily accessed from US 23
Course in great condition
The course is in great shape, especially the greens. We were the first ones off and were warned about pressuring the mowers. After the first hole, we did not see them (but then perhaps they they shouldn't allow the times that early). Not a big issue
Redo well done.
This course has changed dramatically since the redesign a few years ago. Front nine is great, back only so-so. Great condition and values to be had. Friendly staff!
Excellent Greens
We have played this course many times and we have not seen it in this kind of shape. The greens were as good as I have ever seen them. This course is a great value and well worth the play!
Slow play
Overall a good course, but slow play ahead of us and did not allow to play through.
Excellent condition
Greens are especially good and fast. Front nine from different designer, back nine more typical old ohio course.
Excellent golf course
Most enjoyable day on the golf course. CC layout
and in great condition. Very challenging in every
respect. A local member was playing as a single and joined us after nine which made it more enjoyable as he shared local knowledge.
Nice course!!!
Delaware Rocks
Great course, front and back are completely different types of golf...18 holes for $30-$35 dollars at this place is a steal. John the pro does things right, always friendly and courteous.
Nice
Nice round at a nice place. So much better than Glenn Ross
Favorite so far!
Have played a half dozen courses in the northern part of Colimbus since moving here and this was by far my favorite. Course conditions were country club quality, staff and check in was quick and friendly. Food could be a little better for choices, but it's a golf course. Played for $40 on an early Saturday afternoon on Fathers Day weekend. Fun layout, but challenging. Back nine is better than front, only because of the houses on the front. A definite must play in Delaware county!
