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.

I want to love it there

The course from a golf stand point is great. Really good condiition and challenging. It has a great layout. Clubhouse and pro shop are good overall, food is decent and priced well. Pro Shop is stocked well enought.

My continued challenge is the staff. I just blew it off the first time I played there, and let it go the second time. This last time I just had enough. The staff, at least ones ones I have dealt with are incredibly rude and unfriendly. It's incredibly disappointing given how good the course could be.

TERRIBLE experience

This was our first experience to this golf course and was looking forward to it, drove 3 1/2 half hours to play this course. Right off the bat, did not feel welcomed by staff or members. Did not get a greeting nor a second look.

Marshall told us that it was a one putt rule for this play. Spoke with members, and they said that they did not know what she was talking about. Doesn’t make sense why she would tell us that. Got sandwich between two groups of five, first group was slow and second group was fast. Before we could even get to our second shot, the other group behind us was already on the box hitting into us. Felt rushed, play was very slow. Ended up playing four holes and just said, screw this and left. I do not recommend this place for anyone to try to have fun. We will NEVER be back.

Great for scratch golfers.

Course was absolutely amazing can’t complain about that at all. Staff was amazing. If you’re a scratch golfer that enjoys playing your rounds with other random scratch golfers this is for you! But if you’re trying to just enjoy the day with you as a higher handicapped this isn’t for you. I play to enjoy the day and try to improve my game kit try to play keep up.
