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
Still a great track
Despite surrounding area getting extremely dry the fairways and greens are in great shape.
What has happened to you green fees!
I love this course, have played it for years. Stopped bringing my guys on weekends because it was over $45.
I always try to bring a group up during the weekdays now I see the Golfnow rate is $48 for a Wednesday at 730am. Sorry guys I love Delaware but you are pricing us outta you course.

ABSOLUTELY UNFORGIVING & FUN
I traveled an hour from Fort Hood to play Delaware Springs. I found them on GolfNow and made a reservation for my usual foursome. I have never been a fan of municipal courses due to their poor conditions, ratty clubhouses and smelly bathrooms, not to mention, their bad attitudes to non-locals. The staff was very friendly welcoming. The starter gave us the local course knowledge and the warning about the snakes in the area. Much appreciated and thank you! The course was in wonderful condition- tee box, fairways and greens. All in great shape in the hot weather that we’ve been experiencing. The course is tight. There is no where to bail out on a mosh it shot. Accuracy and not distance is your friend. We will be
back! Thanks guys!
Hello. We are happy to hear you and your friends enjoyed a great day at our course. Positive experiences make lifelong golfers, and we look forward to many good times ahead with you all. We will pass on your kind words to those responsible so they can continue to help others enjoy great experiences @delawarespringsgolfcourse.

Fun and challenging
Love this course. Little slow this day, but rain delay in the morning backed everyone up. It was cart path only due to rain which does not bode well with some older players that don’t walk well. (The foursome in front of us) Course Is a challenge with changing winds. Fairways a bit tight with trees as well as trees in the middle of fairway on some. Plan your shots to allow the next shot. Greens in great shape. Staff at 19th hole was awesome. Others were friendly and courteous across the property
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again on the course soon! Thanks for choosing @delawarespringsgolfcourse.

CPO< and some fairways were still wet from morning rain. Free ball wash on 12 when ball landed in a hole full of water. Fun day though; wife and I love this course and on CPO day it plays fast (3 hrs CPO is quick).
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Delaware Springs Golf Course. We hope to see you again in the future.

Slow Day
Pace of play was extremely slow. Waited every tee on front nine, back nine had two groups waiting. Called it quits on 11 tee at 3:15 into the round.
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 control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Delaware Springs Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Awesome Friday Afternoon
Had a great time at Delaware Springs. The course is in excellent shape. This is a fun course that isn't too hard. Greens are in great shape. One of my favorite around the Austin area.

Excellent course
Course was in suburb condition and pace of play was better than average. Even with a crowded course played just over 3 hours and 30 minutes. Good value!

Not Happy
This course does not adhere to CDC guidelines. They require double riders in each cart. Their prices have increased recently. I used to consider this my home course but I don’t intend to play here again.
