Rating 72.0

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.

Pace Needs to be Addressed

Love Delaware Springs and have been making a 45 minute drive to play it for at least a decade, but the pace of play has become atrocious. The last two rounds I've played there have each been 5+ hours and marshalls do not care. Stacking 8 minute tee times doesn't help. I've also walked off the course in the last 12 months after 9 holes because of how slow it is there.

Will probably play here a lot less moving forward, which sucks, because the course is great and is in phenomenal shape. But standing on every tee box for 5-10 minutes isn't my idea of a good time. The staff desperately needs to address the issue.

Another beautiful day at D’Springs..

Have been playing at Deleware Springs the last few years and find the course in virtually the best condition it’s been in…. With the exception of the fareway on 17.

The fareways and greens are in excellent condition, and always enjoy my rounds there. Will be playing there again next week….

Thank you for all of your hard work and services….

The yardage is short, but it offers a few tricky holes. It's well-maintained and definitely a satisfying spot

It was absolutely worth the 1-hour and 20-minute drive. I had a great time thanks to the friendly staff and the well-maintained course. Even though a junior tournament was held here recently, the fairways were still in excellent shape. The greens, however, were a real challenge—they were very fast, and you definitely need enough backspin to attack the pins aggressively. Due to the recent tournament, the green conditions weren't perfect, but they were still great for the price. I've added this to my list of regular courses and will be recommending it to others. I hope they keep up the good work!

Great Layout - Poor Pace of Play

Loved the venue and condition of the course. Player assistance- marshal needs to keep people moving. Too many players on the course at 8minute tee times intervals and a 5 hour round which should be 4:15 doesn’t bode well for a weekday

One of the best city courses around.

Course was in really good shape despite the two HS Golf Tournaments that had just finished. Recent rains and a good effort by the staff made it a wonderful afternoon of golf.

Windy…. Yet a pleasure as always

Played during a windy Texas late morning/early afternoon; which was as pleasurable as always. Think that the wind and potential rain kept the “fair weather” golfers home… thanks y’all.

Where are the Marshalls? (Competent one)

The group of three ahead of our 12:36 tee time should never be allowed on this course ever again. They totally ignore the Cart Path Only holes and even on the Par 3's!! They never raked the bunkers. They would hit three of four tee balls on holes where they shanked/sliced.

We told a woman Marshall and she essentially ignored us as she kept going in the opposite direction. Other than that experience and the high winds the course was great condition as always.

Love This Course

I've played this course for many years. It is a great value. The course is quiet with many deer acting as spectators. The pace of play was great this time. I recommend this course to any golfer - it is well worth it!
