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
Had to cancel
Due to the rain storm s I had to cancel my round. 2 hour delay in course opening and only the front 9 was playable until 10:00 then course closed. Delaware Springs is a good course and value.
And on second note as a Golfplus member Golfnow staff was excellent at handling my request to cancel my 3 tee times and credit my account. Thank you. Always accommodating!!
Definitely worth the drive to get there!
The greens and fairways are in fantastic shape. Greens are very smooth and good speed. Even the bunkers were good despite all the rain we've had. The only down side was that they are remodeling the kitchen, but still sold good hot dogs and beer, and the range was closed due to recent rain. It takes about 1 hour to drive there from Austin, but it's definitely worth it for the conditions and value!
us260282, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Delaware Springs Golf Course.
Great Golf Course
Travelled to play here with a group of 8. Tee boxes, and fairways were very good. The greens were outstanding.
Very fun hole routing. Pace of play hampered by cart path only day.
I will be back.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, u000006484045! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Delaware Springs Golf Course.
Sunday Memorial Day weekend
Pace of play started out VERY slow - 30 minutes for first 2 holes. Did not seem to pick up noticeably but total time for round was about 4 1/2 hours = still somewhat slow. Condition of course good, especially considering recent weather events. Worth a trip from Austin once in a while.
Thank you for your review, u314161621075. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Delaware Springs Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Pace
Never had this issue before but the rate of play was subpar, pun intended. Again, the men's bathroom inside the club house also reeked again. In the past few months, the course has not been as enjoyable to play as in the past. Hoping to see improvement.

Very nice course and worth the drive
Bravo to the Superintendent! Course is in great condition albeit recent rains. Played with nice folks and there are beautiful natural landscapes. The golf staff, especially Marshall’s are a little sour puss. Not a lot of organization teeing off. But good value and very playable. Greens slope away on many holes so short is better.
