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.

Is this a standard practice?
We played a round on June 19th which is a federal holiday. We paid the holiday rate which I expected. I wished a member of the staff a happy Wednesday and holiday. After a brief discussion, the staff member indicated that he was NOT being paid the holiday rate. Is it fair to charge the customer the holiday rate and not pass on the money to the employees?
On another note, the ranger kept the pace of play moving at a decent pace. It would also be helpful if you had scorecards in the pro shop.

Course was solid but wait was very bad
I played the course on a Sunday afternoon. The quality and layout was good, but the tee times were so backed up that at one point we pulled up to the group in front of us waiting on the group in front of them to tee off. I ended up leaving after 14 holes it was taking so long. I’d hope this was just a one off issue, but it was bad.
A disaster…..
Pace of play was 6 hours. The greens and ground was hard. Not true greens. The bunkers were in great shape. No starter which caused the slow play. 1 guy by him self. 3 groups of 2. Could stick a green because it was so hard. Why is there a tree in the middle of the fairway that has no way of play around it on a par 5 off the box. Dumbest design ever. I paid for my dad and I and it was the biggest waste of money. Very disappointed. Updated nice carts with no usb ports???
Beautiful
Played the front 9 on a sunny afternoon in June. Amazing condition, perfect toughness.
Best layout
Greens are true and fast, stay below the pin or risk three putts.

Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Delaware Golf Club.
Nice course but 5.5 hours
Very nice course very nice staff just needed a ranger for pace of play. Took 5.5 hours and I skipped a hole

Hello, Antione. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Delaware Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Ole Faithful
While the rates are getting higher and higher, I am lucky I have been able to take advantage of weekly golf now hot deals and play Delaware consistently for around $30. It is one of my favorites and challenging courses in Central Ohio. The rough punishes you, as do the trees. Accuracy is key! My only complaint is that the cart paths have gone to absolute dog crap in the past year. Seeing that a weekend round can be $70-90, there needs to be some reinvestment in new pavement, or atleast filling the massive pot holes.
