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.

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.
