Delaware Springs Golf Course
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
Friendly remaks
I like to play this course. I am a medium skilled golfer and this course has a variety of difficulty which are challenging.
Sunday play very slow
This my second time playing here. First review still stands as I like the course. The caveat to players is the pace of play on Sunday. The round was 5 hours. Too long and too slow. We played behind a five some.
No place I'd rather be
If you can find me a better, course, with a better staff, with a more dedicated grounds crew, I dare you. Bring it! Best greens anywhere!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO PLAY GOLF
Hi if your reading this and you didn’t play on the 23rd or 24th of January 2018, you missed two of the most beautiful days to play golf. From thanking Bear to squeezing me in to the Marshal who paired me up with Jay from Bertram and John and Jeff from Chicago who were awesome to play the round with. The course is yes still brown from the winter but the fairways were grassy enough to allow a nice little divot. The sand traps were great with the new white sand but work my hardest to stay out of those things. The day as I said was amazing with a 5-10 mph wind from the south and the temperature at about 65 degrees. Shot 8 under 80 got the round and I’m sure Jay shot close to a 75-78. The guys from Chicago were funny and lots of fun to play with. The grilled cheese sandwich with tomatoes from the snack shop was amazing and it’s always nice to see the beautiful ladies working there. Thank you again after nearly 9 yrs of playing this course that it’s always fantastic to see so many great people from all over and may I get another chance to join new people to play this hidden gem of a Course. I’ve played many courses but I can assure you , that you totally love this course the people, the putting and the driving range. Oh yeah forgot to mention that these greens should be nicknamed “Grease Lightning “ for their speed! They were running about a 10+ no doubt but since I knew the Course conditions this time of the year I knew how to put them close. This course never amazes me of how beautiful the surroundings are and they are always making improvements like on number 4 where they are putting a sprinkler system in so that there will be grass there in the spring. Keep up the great work and thank you to all the staff under Mr Phipps for your hard work and dedication. Respectfully, Robert Rocha, SgtMaj, USMC (Ret)
Good value
We played on ML King day and the Course was full. We waited on most holes but still finished in 4 hours. At this time of year the fairwys were brown and dormant. The greens were fast and true. The lay out of the Course was fairly straightforward but interesting enough to play again. Bunker sand was soft and forgiving
If this course was closer I would play here everyday.
Great course
We played at 12:30 pm on Monday. We arrived early, hit a few balls on the range. We were a
allowed to get off early in front of the members. Finished in 3:15 hours. Had a great burger. Love the course and great friendly staff.
Best greens and friendliest staff in Texas
I golfed Delaware Springs with two brothers Friday and we again had a great time and were well served. Did I mention $1 beers at the clubhouse???
Great Course
Beautiful course and excellent staff, recommend to all golfers around the state and country
Awesome as usual
Great round of golf can’t say enough good things about this cours facilities and staff
Good Value for the $$$$
Delaware Springs is a fun track with some challenging holes. The tee boxes and greens were in really great condition. Fairways were decent. It is a good deal for the $$$, staff is friendly and the food is pretty good and reasonable priced. The pace of play can get bogged down from time to time.
Love this place
The decorated holiday tree near the 15th green made me smile during a poorly-played stretch of holes. It's these subtle touches that help make this such a great place to play.
This course is the best course in the area for the value
My wife and I have made this course our go to recently. The value, pace of play and the outstanding greens are all a part of why we love this course. It is always in really great shape! This is one of the best municipal courses around. It is a must play if you never have made the drive.
Great course
From the burgers to the bunkers great place to relax and play golf
Great condition, great value
1 drive from Austin was well worth it. Course in great condition and well worth the money. Only knock is that I wish it were closer to me so that I could play it more often.
