Delaware Springs Golf Course
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 forget
Never played this course. There were 911 reviews and I cannot stand for that as a citizen of this great country. So now there are 912. My buddy played it though and said it was incredible so consider this his review. USA baby

Very Nice Course
This was our first time to play here , so some course knowledge would definitely be helpful. Several holes a different line off the tee makes a huge difference. Greens were very good , rolled very true and had some speed to them. I would definitely play there again when in the area.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, ss75223834. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Delaware Springs Golf Course thanks you!

Course is in great shape
We had a great time during our round this past weekend. The greens were in fantastic shape for this time of year. The fairways haven’t got their start on spring growth yet - but continued warmer temperatures will see that change soon. I love the layout of the holes on the course and the many risk/reward options that the par 4s and 5s provide. We liked it so much that we’re coming back next weekend to play it again.

Just enough challenges for a country course.
Has it really been eight (8) years since I last played this course!? Well, it's just as I remember it. The club house is simple but certainly adequate and they have a decent grill for your dining/drinking pleasure.
I feel like this course has a higher number of senior golfers because the area has a high number of retirees ... with their own golf carts. But don't worry, they know the course and how to play it. They're likely to push you to pick up the pace instead of the other way around.
The putting green near the clubhouse has a little extra undulation in parts but that's good practice of which too many fail to take advantage. The driving range is also close by and can certainly handle getting you warmed up as needed. However, it likely maxes out around 235 yards and that's if you hit it straight to a small area. So perhaps stick to your 180 or less irons.
While this course gets a significant amount of play, the tee boxes are holding up well. Some felt a little hard ... hard to place a tee. You'll find plaques in the ground with yardage markings next to the tees so that can be helpful when you aren't looking at the scorecard, GPS, etc.
The fairways were cut well but I guess I have to blame 'winter conditions.' They're just a little hard ... lacking the softness of (growing) green grass. If you're a divot maker then this may not work well for you at this time. It's better for those who pick their balls a little cleaner. And you won't be playing out of the real rough much if at all. You'll be lucky to even find your ball in the high grass, cactus, thick brush, etc. This is the Hill Country after all. As for yardage markings, you do get sprinkler head distances. Those seem to be harder to find on so many courses I play. They don't use 150 yard poles but that's okay. I do wish they'd paint the red-white-blue-yellow stripes on the cart paths. Oh well, we can't have it all.
There is a scattering of bunkers around the course. They're well placed (in a bad way). So I found a couple. The sand was very fine and very dry but void of any rocks. So I can play those more or less.
Hole #1 is the only hole with a water hazard. It's a mossy little creek at the end of the downhill fairway that you have to carry in order to continue the par 5. I bombed a nice drive that rolled down to the flat area just a few yards short of the end of the fairway. Honestly, I'd forgotten I needed to hit a lesser club off the tee; haven't played the course in a long time. So I was thrilled with my "tee shot of the day" ... only to top the next ball into the water. Ugh. So much for having a chance to be putting for eagle.
The greens had been 'painted' around the edges but were all in really good shape. Unfortunately, the winter conditions aren't done yet so the greens felt a little harder than they might be when receiving more water. So they didn't hold the ball too well ... didn't see a single ball mark that needed fixing. And they were running fast today. That meant we played a lot of shots short on purpose and hoped for the best. And that, in the end, will certainly affect one's score. It is what it is.
Noticed large black tarps rolled up near every green on the course. It's great to see they're taking precautions during overnight freezing and/or morning frost conditions. Protecting the greens is vital since those are the most important parts of the course with respect to our game.
The course had coolers with cold water and cups on both 9's. They also had ball washers next to them. The carts did not have ball/club washers on them but did have two sand jugs and USB outlets. They also had the wider cup holders that I so prefer. And the brakes on these are nice because you just let the cart stop and don't have to engage (click) the brake. Sooooo nice in my opinion. It's the little things that make me happy sometimes. Ha!
Hi, GordonATX! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Delaware Springs Golf Course!
Decent course, staff … ehh
I had a great time on the course, the woman in the pro shop was a bit stand-offish. Being a younger player and a non-member I did get a feeling of judgement, but nothing overbearing. I’d suggest this course to others if they don’t mind the drive.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u314162420596. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Delaware Springs Golf Course thanks you!
A Hill Country Jewel!!!
Fun people. Fun course. Great layout and the greens are always cared for. It's one of my top ten courses in the area. I highly recommend the course, but please don't. It's getting really busy. I'm joking of "course". Please go play it. It's worth it!!!

Great course. Managment seemed a little unhappy
Arrived 40 min prior to tee time after calling earlier in the day to make sure I knew attire to wear. Was told there would be a half hour delay and offered range balls in meantime. No problems there. As I walked away manager piped up that I'd need to pay for range balls. No problems. Tee time was an hour later than mentioned and roughly 1.25 hours from tee time. Okay, no huge deal if pace of play was good. I arrived on site for my 12:35 tee time at roughly 11:55. I didn't leave until 6:20ish?
Golf course is nice. I'd play again if pace of play was improved. little too long of a golf outing for me.

Fun course and great conditions
It's a great course for your average golfer. Greens are in fantastic condition and pace of play was good. Finished the round in less than 4 hours on a Saturday. Can't beat that. Would definitely play again.
Your feedback is important to us, sdai19129. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Delaware Springs Golf Course.
Great course but course management not so good
We like playing this course and they keep it in great condition, however, they put in some extra groups ahead of us so needless to say we didn’t start at our reserved tee time. We have to drive a ways to play this course so the delay we had made this a very long day to play a round of golf. Also once we did start we had to wait on every hole except one for the groups in front of us so pace of play was extremely slow. Doubt we’ll book again unless we can get in front of the men’s group that plays there every day.
Hello. 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. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are glad to see you enjoyed the course conditions during your game. Thank you for playing Delaware Springs Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
