Named after the springs that snake through the layout, Delaware Springs Golf Course is a scenic links-style track that is one of the better values in Texas golf. The low prices and friendly service, combined with a picturesque and challenging golf course, make this a Hill Country favorite.

Architects Dave Axland and Dan Proctor built a natural-looking course that fits the terrain perfectly. The course is nestled into the rolling hills and oak trees along the Highland Lakes, playing 6,891 yards from the tips. During your round you’ll encounter lush fairways frequently loaded with bunkers, large greens that slope severely, and numerous bump and run shots. The designers added a few original touches, such as the descriptive Scottish names for each hole (the 18th is called "Hame" for the home hole).

Another interesting design twist involved placing the signature hole as the opener. Playing 504 yards to a par 5, no. 1 is best attacked with an iron into the left side of a sloping, tree-lined fairway. The creek cuts into the landing area, making it a testy tee shot. The second shot must bend around the dogleg to the left and over the creek, and the approach is into the green shaded by large trees on the right.

Great course! Great value!

The course was in really good condition and the value was great. They could have used another person in the grill area to keep up with the pace of customers but the staff was great. A cart beverage person is needed to take the pressure off the grill. Overall experience was a 4.5 out of 5. Have already recommended this gem in the hill country multiple times this week and I will be back.

Course condition was amazing.

I have played quite a few different courses in the central and southeast areas of Texas this spring and was extremely impressed by the overall condition of Delaware Springs. Many of the courses I have played suffered from the short deep freeze this past winter causing bare spots in fairways and spotty greens. Not the case here. Fairways were full and lush and the ball sits up and says "hit me". Greens were beautiful, putted true and were fast but not electric. NIce amenities and attentive staff. And, of course, the scenic springtime Texas hill country setting is hard to beat. Played weekday mid-afternoon with no one in front of or behind us on a "hot deals" price. Absolute bargain!!! Highly recommend.

Hill Country Golf

Delaware Springs is a Burnet Texas municipal course. I was pleasantly surprised by the playability and beauty of the course. Conditions were vastly better than other municipal courses I played in the area. Layout was nice but very flat with only two holes with small elevation change. Main feature was the “forest” feel with extensive live oaks throughout. Clubhouse snack bar good, friendly and very reasonably priced.

Great Course

Course is in great shape. Greens were recently aerated and sanded but were rolling very good. Rough is very green and a little tall. Keep it in the short grass or you wont find it. VEry nice course. Cant wait to play it again in 2 weeks.

Lots of deer and nature

Some nice scenery. Lots of deer and cactus. Course was challenging and pretty well maintained. The driving range was too close to the parking lot for an errant shot. Made me a little nervous parking my vehicle there. The greens and fairways were pretty hard. Would have liked to have seen softer greens. Staff seemed stressed due to the number of golfers playing. Pace of play was SLOW. We need off at 3 and did not finish until 8 pm. Staff came out and would not let us finish 18 because they said all carts must be in by 7:30 pm. There were several golfers lined up behind us who also didn't get to finish. Enjoyed the round but will try to play next time mid-week.
