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.

Nice place to play

Delaware Springs is a nice golf course deep into hill country. In fact that is the main issue....distance. Not sure that given the course layout it is worth the drive from Austin. Passing courses that are a bit more expensive, but far closer was a tough pill to swallow. The other surprise was how relatively flat this course is being that it is in the hills. There just isn't a great deal of excitement given the property the course was built on.

Great hill country course that is fun to play

This course and facilities offer so much. I feel relaxed and at home here. I really enjoy the experience of playing golf in the hill country. The golf course is challenging and fair with a nice variety of scenic holes. The green fees are quite reasonable particularly considering the quality of the course. The course, including the greens, is typically in excellent condition. At times, the greens are fast. A few of the greens are particularly challenging due to slope and undulation. It's a good idea to respect the speed of the greens when you are above the hole. The bunkers have white powdery sand. There are some nice views of mesas in the distance on a few holes on the back nine. I like the practice facilities, too. It includes a driving range, short game practice area including a sand trap, and a separate putting green. A small bucket of balls is only $3. The restaurant and dining area are nice with an excellent selection of food, snacks, and refreshments. The dining area has large wooden tables and chairs. There is also an outdoor pavilion near the clubhouse. In addition, there are nice restrooms near the middle of each 9. Doug and his staff are really helpful and welcoming. The pro shop has a nice selection of equipment and accessories for very reasonable prices. Where else can you get a quality wedge at a discount and a chicken salad sandwich?

cold and windy

Me and 3 of my friends met up at Delaware Springs, we do this about once or twice a month. It had been a couple months since we could meet and play a round of golf. A front was blowing in and it was 47 with wind blowing out of the north at 15 mph. The course was its usual self with narrow fairways, for some and the greens were in great shape, The staff have always been great to deal with and pace of play has never been slow. I would like to thank everybody and can;t wait to come back.
