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.

Pace of play
Have played here many times, but this was the first round this year. Course was in very good shape for the high number of rounds it gets per year however it took me almost 3 hours to play nine holes and I quit after nine will go again but definitely will not try to play on the weekends. They used to have Rangers out there keeping everyone on time, but it does not appear. That’s an option this year really disappointed because the back nine is a very classic Donald Ross.

Pace of play was terrible. We had five groups backed up on two holes on hole twelve.
We apologize for the pace of play issues you experienced during your visit; we're working on managing course flow better. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We hope you give us another try in the future.

Always very well maintained. One of the nicest public golf courses in central Ohio.
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.
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.
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.
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.
