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.

Great Day for Golf
Del Springs is one of my favorites. Great value, the course is in great condition and the staff was fantastic. Unfortunately, the pace of play was a little slow today. It was so slow, that I had to cut my round short after 16 since I needed to be home.
The choice to cut the round short was mine, since I had a commitment, but most likely would have finished if the pace was a little bit normal.
I will be back, because I love this place. It’s certainly a gem in the Hill Country.
Thanks
Nice intermediate course
It’s a very nice course that is not too difficult. Nice amenities at the course and friendly people.
Thank you for your positive feedback and for highlighting our friendly staff and amenities. We're glad you enjoyed your time on our course!
Hidden Gem
Course is in great condition with some of the best greens for a public course in Texas. Always love playing here however, over the years I've played it, the value seems to be diminishing. It's now just as expensive as other courses I play in the Austin area. But, still worth the drive and playing different courses. Cafe onsite is good. Practice facilities could use improvement, especially the driving range. No beverage service the day we played.
Great Texas Hill Country Track!!!
Play it. Lots of golf surprises can lay ahead on this course. Challenging and fair. Enjoy
Great course! Great value!
The course was in really good condition and the value was great. They could have used another person in the grill area to keep up with the pace of customers but the staff was great. A cart beverage person is needed to take the pressure off the grill. Overall experience was a 4.5 out of 5. Have already recommended this gem in the hill country multiple times this week and I will be back.
Nice layout
Nice layout with friendly staff. Plenty of drink water on the course which is very important. Short drive from Marble Falls.
Nice course slow pace
It was a nice course but it was super busy and people were taking their time so we got backed up to 4 groups waiting.
We apologize for the congestion and delay you experienced; we strive to manage pace of play efficiently. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for visiting our course.
Love/Hate
Always love playing here. Hate that a Fri morning round took 5 hours to play. Disappointing.
Course condition was amazing.
I have played quite a few different courses in the central and southeast areas of Texas this spring and was extremely impressed by the overall condition of Delaware Springs. Many of the courses I have played suffered from the short deep freeze this past winter causing bare spots in fairways and spotty greens. Not the case here. Fairways were full and lush and the ball sits up and says "hit me". Greens were beautiful, putted true and were fast but not electric. NIce amenities and attentive staff. And, of course, the scenic springtime Texas hill country setting is hard to beat. Played weekday mid-afternoon with no one in front of or behind us on a "hot deals" price. Absolute bargain!!! Highly recommend.
Hill Country Golf
Delaware Springs is a Burnet Texas municipal course. I was pleasantly surprised by the playability and beauty of the course. Conditions were vastly better than other municipal courses I played in the area. Layout was nice but very flat with only two holes with small elevation change. Main feature was the “forest” feel with extensive live oaks throughout. Clubhouse snack bar good, friendly and very reasonably priced.
Great dayb
Teamed with two other guys local had a great round
Great Course
Course is in great shape. Greens were recently aerated and sanded but were rolling very good. Rough is very green and a little tall. Keep it in the short grass or you wont find it. VEry nice course. Cant wait to play it again in 2 weeks.
Thank you for your positive review; we're glad to hear the course conditions met your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back in two weeks!
Best course ive played in austin area
Best grass, nice range and chipping area, putting green amd the course was pristine there were a couple greens with patches of sand but not bad. I will definitely be coming back lots of fun
