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
Great course!
First time playing and I will definitely be going back. The fairways were in incredible shape and the greens were even better! Green rolled smooth and fast. Great course for the price!
One of my favorite courses
Excellent shape. Greens are fast and smooth. Fairways in great shape given the hot weather. Pace of play is terrific and staff very friendly.
Nice Experience
Very good golf course in very good condition for late July in Texas. Staff always treats guests well.
Great shape
This is a challenging course and always in fantastic shape. Smooth fast greens and lush fairways. A lot of fun to play.
The course is in great shape. Not a easy course and the roughs are impossible to hit out of, so hit the ball straight.
Great course
Being a local, I love playing the outstanding municipal course!!! Only concern was booking via golf now. Set up an 8:22 tee time for myself, wanting to play a round of golf in peace solo. Turns out, they do not want any solo players!!! First they tried to put me in a cart with another player and then tried to stick me with a threesome I didn't book with!! Finally got the solo cart situation figured out, only to miss my tee time!!! They bumped me back to 9:22 tee time, and proceeded to stick me with another twosome!!! All I wanted was a peaceful day on the course for myself. Next time I will ask for a refund an drew just walk away!!
Great shape considering lack of rain
We got off early and the sprinklers had just shut off. Everywhere was wet, but fun to play. Greens where pretty true... go have fun!
Love this course
Very playable and challenging at the same time. Very good Texas Hill Country course (Complete with lots of deer). Would highly recommend Delaware Spgs.
Excellent Hill Country Course
This is not my first time to play Delaware Springs. I usually play in Austin, TX but to come out to Burnet is well worth the drive. I have to compliment the greens crew. The course is always in great shape. Wish we could get this crew to work their magic on our City of Austin Muni's.
great course conditions... greens were very good enjoyed playing here...
Great shape
Play DC a few weeks back, had punched the greens and too much sand to make a putt. Today the putts actually rolled pretty true thus I shot 1 over on front nine.. normally 5+. Thunderstorms hit us on number 11 so did not get to finish but will go back!!!
Delaware Springs in good shape.
Played Delaware Springs last week. Course is in very good condition. Greens are moderately fast and well manicured. Course is challenging without being needlessly difficult. Pace was good but no marshal keeping things moving. Slower players refused to let us through so we spend more time on the course than we wanted.
RGood Value
We live about 30 miles away and we come to play here several times a year. Always a good time.
Very Enjoyable
This was my 1st time to play Delaware Springs and really enjoyed the course. Very fair, but not easy. Course was in great shape and pace of play was great. Will definitely come back!
Great Hill Country course!
Delaware Springs is one of my favorite courses. The greens were a little sanded this time but still rolled really nice. This course is always in great shape and the staff is wonderful. A little bit of a drive away from Austin but well worth it.
old favorite
well organized, good shot values, pace of play has improved mightily (or we just got lucky!). We had a lot of fun!
Beautiful hill country course
Love this course. Have played it several times in the past 4 years. It is well worth the 100 mile round trip. Plan to play it many more times. Grass in the fairways is better than most residential lawns, and the greens are great.
