Delaware Springs Golf Course

I have been playing this Course now for about 10 yrs and consider it my home course. From the time you check into the clubhouse, you might have Jay, John, Blake, Bear or Mr. Phipps checking you in. They are all extremely professional, knowledgeable, charismatic, helpful and funny. They make you feel like family right away and the atmosphere feels like your exactly where you want and need to be for at least 4 hrs. After you head out to get in your cart, you feel the aura of just being in such a peaceful place as you head to the range to hit balls, chip on the putting green or just heading to the tee box. Regardless if your playing with friends or being paired up with someone they make you feel like they’ve known you for awhile and you feel the relaxation to just be yourself and not at a place that’s stuffy or not welcome. Not at Delaware Springs. It’s the place you will make life long friends and you’ll want to come back for the play as well as the great lunch specials that are a mouthful and filling. Playing each hole is a challenge but it’s also an experience that you’ll never forget. Sometimes and I mean only sometimes it might be a little slow but you know what I say is don’t go play golf anywhere if your having to be somewhere because this Course is so beautiful and you won’t be there no longer than 4 1/2 hrs and I love the environment as well as the people. The kitchen staff is so kind and I love them all. They all work so hard and are dedicated to each player, member or not.

If I was gonna make a suggestion to this course I would suggest that the Marshall’s be a little more friendly and stop and visit with the players if they can, treat all the players the same because members or not, your in the customer service field and it requires to treat everyone the same. And I speak from experience as both a Marshall & a Starter and I make it a point to go above and beyond by getting out of my cart, thanking every player for coming out regardless if they are a member or not. I like to get to know the repeat players where I volunteer at and it makes for a very fast but fun 5 hrs for me. I approach every group with leaving a great impression because I represent the Pro as well as the golf course and all it’s paid employees. I’d also ask that there be bottles of sand or sand at the range to be able to help the crew fill the divots before I leave the range. It would also be awesome to have benches to sit on at the range because some of old guys like to rest our bones even though we love the game.

But overall this place is a place of beauty, peacefulness and serenity. The sunsets that I’ve taken pictures of I’ve written poems too because they are breathtaking. Mr. Phipps, your people are amazing and it’s a direct representation of how great person you are and the standards you’ve set for those working there. May you and your people be blessed with so many more blessings throughout their time working there. The ground crew does a better job than any other public course I’ve ever played on and I’m sure your very proud of them.

One of the best courses in the hill country of Texas, it allow you to use your entire golf bag. Shot making is a must, you will have cure the ball also, hit it high, hit it low. This is a shot makers course. The real challenge will come from playing the back tees. Play well , enjoy your round.

I live 30 minutes away but the course is always in great shape and the staff is always welcoming and courteous. The course rating would easily be 5 star except the greens were recently punched and aren’t completely back yet.

The Marshal let a group of Five start before 2 groups of two which kept us waiting on every hole. It was a fun course and lots of deer if I am ever in the area again I would play the course

Best kept secret in the Texas hill country.

Great course, play fast and friendly people.

Also great value.

If you want a real challenge play from the blacks.

My “home” course Delaware Springs is well staffed, designed, maintained and just a great place to play.

I love Delaware Springs Golf Course. It is scenic, it abounds with wildlife, and it is always in great playing conditions. The staff in the pro shop and the staff in the cafe are all outstanding. The course has tough holes and many risk rewards. I played in windy conditions as a thunderstorm descended upon us. The wind changed from the North to coming from the South and changed how the course played. The grounds team does a wonderful job on the greens (they are fast) and the fairways. Play this course!

My wife and I played. Joined by another couple. Course is in excellent shape. Friendly people. We had a great time.

Nice course, play was a little slow but will be back to play again.

The course is in really good shape. My only complaint is the putting greens. They are so fast. it's almost impossible to keep your approach shot on the green.

The people in charge of scheduling on this day dropped an afternoon/evening shotgun start tournament right on top of us as we started the 13th hole.

The rain arrived just as we finished. Great timing only made possible with the great pace of play. Staff was wonderful and the course was in great condition. My buddies and I will definitely do it again.
