Delaware Golf Club
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.

Fun course, 2 different nines, friendly staff, can't beat it for $30 to ride.
Fun course, 2 different nines, friendly staff, can't beat it for $30 to ride.
was not in great condition, greensad been greens were very sandy and slow.
course would be in better condition in a couple of weeks.
Course was fine except that they were in process of aerating the greens. Should be good in mid-May.
Two distinct 9's, both are interesting. Difficult course to find but worth it once you find it. Not much for amenities.
Nice, but overpriced !
Overall a very good course but couldn't play without a discount, too expensive.
Great course in pristine condition
Challenging course with 4 tees to choose from. Fast greens with multiple tiers. The front 9 is easier than the back nine; the back 9 follows a couple deep ravines that can quickly add some strokes to your score. The course is in great shape and the greens are fast.
I love the layout. Greens equivalent with private clubs.

It was very challenging course to play
Seems that management has a good plan to maintain and improve
the course.
I was very impressed with the speed and condition of the greens. Very nice for a public course.
I will definitely return as well as tell me buddies.
Very nice course!!!!
The Delaware Golf Club is a very challenging golf course spread out thru housing complex that don't really come into play. All bent grass. The greens roller true and are very fast. Very nice clubhouse friendly staff. The food is a bit pricey hot dog 3.75 lol.
Greens were immaculate and rolled true.
This course was beautiful. Although it was a little wet when we played the greens were still quick enough to be challenging. There are a number of tight tee boxes which was difficult.
Very playable course - have a number of good holes, blind tee shots with elevated greens.
course was in very good condition for this time of the year (12/4/2012). Greens are still rolling very good.
nice layout, fun holes, lots of tree
played on a cold november afternoon. lots of sunshine. course was wet in some spots, and the ground was soft. greens held shots, and they were lightning fast and smooth. Some tight tee shots out there, very fun layout. Will def play out there again.
Cart not charged
I went there and was told after i take care of you I'm gone for the day. The Cart wasn't completely charged and I had to push it to get it back on the front 9.
The course is not properly marked for each hole and when you go from the back to the front. The other players were rude when asking for directions. I didn't even play the back 9 because of the people and nothing friendly marked.
Best public golf course I've played this year.
I've only played public courses that used to be private country clubs and this course has been one of the best I've played. I just played it last week with a friend, and with the exception of leaves on some greens, these were the best greens I've played all year. They were smooth and fast. Keep up the good work Delaware Golf Club. Can't wait to play it in the summer.
P.S.- The only recommendation I would express, to help guide new patrons, would be better signage to next tee boxes from certain holes (especially the holes along the road).
A great course and a good value
A fun course with distinctive 9s by Donald Ross and Hurdzan/Zoeller adds great variety. The two par fives on the front, and the par 4 11th and 16 th are the best holes. The course is rarely crowded.
Front and Back nines different, but playable
Course in good shape, not crowded, so played in 3 hours.
Great course!
I should really keep my mouth shut on this one because it is such a treasure and lately it has not been crowded. But it is an awesome course and a terrific value. Very scenic for central Ohio and a good bit of relief. One of my favorite public courses. The greens are awesome.
great course
Great mixture of old and new designs with rolling hills and fine greens and fairways. Highly recommended for the weekly golfer.
