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
Not difficult but you still have to focus.
Good course layout for the avg to above avg player. Many holes allow a good recovery shot and the rest require you to stay in the fairway if you want to hit the green in regulation. Very enjoyable round; thought the fairway’s condition could haves been better. Would I play here again? Yes.
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience to our team @delawarespringsgolfcourse. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Poor condo except for greens.
Fairly poor everywhere except for greens. Greens were very good overall.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Delaware Springs Golf Course.
Always fun to get back
Delaware Springs is just a little too far away for me to play regularly, but I'm always happy I make the one-hour drive from Austin. The course is a great example of a design that is fun but fairly minimal and playable for all abilities. It also seems to be a very community-oriented place with a wonderful vibe full of golfers of all ages and even a few dogs hanging out. The greens, as expected, were in great shape and they really promote creativity around the greens and on approach shots. I wish it was a little less spread out from green to tee so it would be more walkable. Besides that, you can't ask for much more in a muni. If you're like me, try and make the trip once a year to this country gem.
Thank you for your review, Brandon. We're so glad you enjoyed your day on the course. We will pass along your positive experience to our team @delawarespringsgolfcourse. We look forward to seeing you the next time you're in the area.
