Delaware Springs Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Never see one on course Photo submitted by mhughesgolf on 06/13/2015
Nice course
Course was nice and in good shape overall. Range was no-drivers downwind and hitting off old mats, but the putting green was good. Very average food. Lots of construction between certain holes but the signs were helpful to navigate around it.

Challenging tee shots
Definitely a solid course with good greens and a fun layout for the most part, but you're definitley in trouble if you're not finding the fairways. Going to be a long day unless you stay sharp off the tee.
Hi, Clay10pirates. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Delaware Springs Golf Course!
Awesome
I’ve played all public courses within an hour of Austin and this one takes the crown, conditions similar to star ranch which is by far best public venue in area. Where it separates itself from the rest is pace of play and the views, never felt like I was playing in people’s backyards. I played 18 solo in just under 2.5hrs, an hour faster than any round I’ve had in town. Greens are ROLLING

Great TX Hill Country Gem
The course was in great shape and the greens rolled true. Given the weather conditions recently in south Texas it was really in remarkable shape. Staff were helpful and friendly! Played a Horseshoe Bay Resort Course the day before and we liked this one better!

Great Course Value
Best kept secret of the north austin area. Great course conditions, especially considering recent weather. Fairways are wide open and green, soft lies and no bare patches. Greens are in good condition, only a couple of tee boxes were spotty or bumpy. Great value for the price, staff was friendly.

excellent
All tee boxes and greens were in great shape. off the edge of fairways as expected are crispy. All water stations had plenty of cold water. Only two tee boxes were a little rough and you can still hit off them. And only one or two greens on their fringes have some lack of grass IE dirt. Overall surprisingly well maintained.
Hello, cooldude55. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Delaware Springs Golf Course. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
HIDDEN GEM
Every time I go out to Delaware Springs, I am amazed at how awesome the course looks, the greens are in an amazing shape, extremely difficult to read, the food in the snack shack is extremely delicious and the course is totally full from how the parking lot looks.
After playing there for over 15 yrs, it has never let me down on how beautiful it is to be out away from anything resembling a city with tall high rise buildings anywhere. From the distance on the 4th & 5th tee boxes, I can spot the huge American 🇺🇸 Flag and it makes me proud to have served my country and remind me how this beautiful place spell’s serenity for anyone taking on the challenges of this course.
If you’re in a hurry to play and get a round ⛳️ in, don’t come out there. Because it’s still a small town just like I grew up in and the folks are just that. Beautiful small town folks with respect and the love for each other and don’t encourage or welcome any big city craziness.
Just bring your patience, your smile, your hungry stomach, and the love of the game because Delaware Springs is like a box of chocolates. Every time you step out there on the course, it’ll give you a different taste but keep you coming back to one of most beautiful places you’ll ever play golf at. And who knows, you might just get hooked on why we small town folks don’t ever want want to live in the city.
Respectfully,

Hidden gem
I almost hate reviewing this course out of selfishness. Second time I've played Delaware Springs and once again it exceeded expectations. Excellent practice facilities, good layout (although a few more right to left holes than fits my game), friendly staff, and during an extended drought in the hill country they've managed to keep the greens not only alive but in excellent condition! Overall the pace was a little slow but that's the ONLY fault I may mention. But it was a weekend round and with this heat EVERYONE wants to play early. Headed back this Tuesday with 3 buddies and am looking forward to it! Kudos Delaware Springs and you better keep that greens superintendent!!
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, RG9F7FA9898D5582FAF7. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Delaware Springs Golf Course!
