Rating 72.0

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.

Off the beaten path - solid course

It's a bit of a hike out from where I live in Cedar Park, but I played the course on a hot deal and have been wanting to see how this course was for a while. There are plenty of challenging holes and lots of doglegs - a solid test of golf. Also, the food in the club house was good, and the $3 range balls were nice since it's usually $7-$14 around here. Only complaint was that there were a few holes that were actively being worked on during the round, some standing water in places, and the collar around a few of the greens was a solid 1-1.5 inch wall of grass that made for a backstop that was difficult to putt away from. Very minor issues for an otherwise nice course.

Meh

The course is just outside of Burnet, TX, which is quite a bit further out than many might realize. We chose the course due to the ratings on this site, value for the $$, and hill country setting. While the cost was definitely as advertised, everything else left quite a bit to be desired. Greens were in decent shape, but the tee boxes were a mess and very uneven, and the fairways like hitting off concrete. For some inexplicable reason we had a course Marshal creeping around us every other hole. Literally creeping out of the woods or around a turn. We finished our round in just under 4 hours, so it wasn't as if we were holding things up. Just weird. Add to that the small town, "I've been playing here all my life, so I do what I want" crowd and it made for a very unpleasant experience. Would not play this course again as there are way too many nice courses in the Austin area that are more well kept, professionally run and much, much closer.

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!!

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.
