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 golf course
Fun course to play. Always seems crowded and pace of play can be somewhat slow. Facilities are nice and work is being done on club house to make it even more so. Greens are a bit sandy but rolled pretty well. Fairways in very good shape. Water available on the course. Grill is excellent with outstanding staff who make it a friendly environment. Well stocked club house. Carts are in good shape. Driving range is ok - have to hit off mats which is not the best but it works out ok. All-in-all a good course with some challenging fun holes.

Hello? Mr. Marshall?
Played in back of a brutally slow FIVESOME. The “marshall” did nothing about it. The group in back of us was on the tee with us waiting with us on every hole. There was no one in front of them, so after 4 or 5 holes of waiting forever, we jumped ahead of them and were home free after that. They never thought for one second about letting us play through. Greens were slow and bumpy on top of it. Should have called first on that - separate issue. Have always liked this course, but after this I might hesitate playing there again and go with one of the other similar quality courses nearby.

Slowest Foursome in Front EVER
They may have been slow, but they let us play through. I really enjoyed the round! I play to see the beauty of Nature like the "Slow Foursome" in the picture. Also, to meet new people and I was paired with 2 brothers that were great to play with. John & Rey were 2 of the nicest golfers I've meet, most are but they went out of their way to help me because they knew this was the first time to play this course. While I did not shoot one of my better rounds that's on me. I encourage anyone to play here. The course is in great shape and fun.

Aerated greens
The only reason to downgrade this enjoyable course is you might want to wait until the greens have healed. Huge amount of sand filling holes. Greens will be amazing in two or three weeks.

Never had a bad experience at this course. It seemed busier than previous outings but play didn't seem to be to slow.
Hi, mikec1954. 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 Springs Golf Course.
Slow play - very very slow
There were 2 groups of five players in front of two other groups in front of us (2 players) and it was brutally slow going. On some holes there were 4 different groups either playing or waiting to play. Ridiculous slow play. Course is in very good shape. Amenities are excellent - driving range, restaurant (very friendly staff) and a fully stocked pro shop. Other than slow play it's a very good course.

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!
