Delaware Springs Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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
Very friendly staff. Played when it hasn't quite greened up but will probably play the course next year. We are visiting winter Texans and understand without overseeding the course, it won't be pristine but enjoyed our round.
Very Slow and rude marshall
I played today and the pace of play was very slow. If the marshall would have been more worried about the pace of play instead of yelling at me for driving into 6 inch grass with the golf cart to retrieve my ball then you might have got 3 stars. The course was extremely hard and dry. I drove into the grass to retrieve my ball #1 due to a possibility of rattle snakes (clear signs posted!). #2 no sign on that hole to stay on cart path #3 there were NO rocks as the marshall said that they had a cart stuck on the rocks. The grass was about 6-8" deep but I could see into it. Marshall was a complete jerk and caught on a power trip. He needs to do his job and keep oace of play moving instead of being hyper focused on something that didn't hapien and that was me getting stuck on a rock! Miserable dayat Delaware Speings!
Very good course
Course is very solid anyone playing it will have a good time. Pace of play is only issue not bad but could be better
Always a great time
Course is in great shape. Fairways and greens a little hard. Stuck behind a twosome that lost and looked for way too many balls that could have been moved along quicker by the Marshall.
First time that’s happened here in over ten rounds. Will be back.
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.
