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
Best greens
These greens are the closest to the bent grass greens in the north. They roll very true with no bouncy bounce
like
most of the other greens in the area.
Worth Playing Again
Played this course again and enjoyed it more because it really takes some familiarity to score well.
Greens were not as lightening fast as the last time I played it, but are really decent.
Great course
The best greens I’ve played on in the Austin area, people actually fix their ball marks. One draw back no cart girl until March, but the layout of the course puts you back at the clubhouse halfway through each nine.
True Gem
Great value, great amenities, friendly staff! Course was in great condition, fast greens for Feb 2. Travel out from Austin once every few months.
FAST Greens!
Not so easy a course to play the first time! I'm looking forward to giving it another try this week. Just stay below the hole and be prepared for lightening fast greens!
Always Good at Del Springs
I love this course. Best value in the hill country. I get withdrawals if I haven’t played it in a few weeks. Great place to play.
Two hours and 45 minutes to play 9 holes
Horribly slow pace of play. We weren't going to come close to finishing the back nine, so I asked the proshop for a rain check for nine holes at a later date when they weren't as busy. The staff was agreeable to this until they saw I had booked, (and pre-paid) through GOLF NOW. The staff then acted as if it was our fault for using GOLF NOW, and refused any recourse other than me taking it up with GOLF NOW. If the Marshall would have spent less time helping people find their mis-hit golf balls, and more time encouraging ready golf, this would have been a much better experience! I have used GOLF NOW for at least 20 years all over the country. I feel that given the driving distance to the course, (85 miles for 3 of us), at least a 50% refund is in order. Thanks
Great course well worth the drive
Great condition and challenging course. Facilities and staff excellent and friendly and will recommend this to any level of golfer
Had a blast
first time at the course. it was in great shape, really fast greens, fairways were generous with their roll. Deer everywhere and very senic.
Great time
Course was in great shape even after all day rain the day before. Staff members were very friendly and helpful.
Will definitely play there again.
DS 12/9/2024
Course is always in good condition and Staff is friendly also. My only complaint is that the Nokn Group that goes off every day never gets policed like a normal foursome does.
Played behind the last Noon Group Monday and they were consistently behind the group in front of them.
Will play as often I can
Great course. Challenging for me as a novice. Water came into play on one hole. Several sand traps that require some strategy. Greens were fast
Fun course with fast greens
Played in a threesome had beautiful weather, and the course was in decent shape. The greens rolled very fast and you had to commit to your putts. Our pace of play was good. We finished 18 and under 4 1/2 hours with a little bit of weight at some of the tea boxes for the foursome in front of us.
