Delray Beach Golf Club
About
Delray Beach Golf Club is the championship sister course to the executive Lakeview Golf Club, which is located less than a mile away. It is also less than three miles from downtown Delray Beach. Opened in 1926, Donald Ross designed the layout and over the years, touring professionals on their way to Miami have made it a habit to stop and play the classic design. Its still-growing popularity is a testament to the quality of the round. It provides a quick round that can be played in just over 4 hours but it still offers enough challenges for low handicappers. There is very little water coming into play but with the strategic bunkering that is abundant throughout the course, water features will hardly be missed. The club also has a reputation for being one of the most well maintained public courses in the area as well.

Delray golf
Course with long storied history, with great potential. Very kind staff. Course needs a lot of work to improve greens and fairways. Still enjoy coming here to play
Not Good
First time back after many years and the course is in terrible shape. Greens and bunkers were ok but that is it. Tee boxes are a mess and the fairways are pretty beat up. Layout is not bad but this place certainly needs a lot of TLC.
Hello Thomas2265067, thank you for taking the time to review us. We're sorry to hear the course may not have been in the best shape on the day of your round. We appreciate your feedback as we work to make any necessary improvements. Thank you for choosing to golf with us, and we hope to see you back again soon at Delray Beach Golf Club.
LAZY STAFF
On most south Florida courses the staff is annoying pushing faster play. On this course its the opposite . If you want faster play you must get a ranger. Especially in the morning. The course is in terrible shape its Florida you have sun just freakin water the fairways greens and tee boxes tur the rest into waste bunkers if you are to lazy to maintain,
Hello, evilpiazza. Thank you for taking the time to review and leave your feedback on your recent round with us. It is always our utmost goal to provide our golfers with a fun and enjoyable time and we apologize if we missed the mark. Please feel free to reach out to our staff in the pro shop with any additional concerns. Thanks for choosing Delray Beach Golf Club.
Honest evaluation
The course layout is very good and challenging for someone with an 18 handicap from the green tees. Course condition is disappointing for such a great layout, but the price compensates for it. More of an effort to improve fairways and bunkers and greens would promote a price increase to pay for improvements and increase play. The staff and 19th hole are the real pluses.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, tdivince. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Delray Beach Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Disappointing
What a dump! Run down course in horrible shape, slow greens and the fairways are full of weeds. The layout is good but this place needs a major renovation, stay away’!

Overall very nice quasi-difficult course

Seen Better Days, Lakeview better
It's a shame how this course has been let go. Used to have corporate leagues here. Lakeview better value, even though it's a par 3.

Delray Beach Golf Course
I play DBGC every week and have been doing so for 7 years. The course condition currently is not great for sure. I play here because I enjoy the men's group that plays weekly. The staff generally are nice and accommodating. The greens are in decent shape however there is significant influence from the two types of grass on the greens. The fairways.... better than it has been in the past but still not really good. the biggest complaint is off the fairways, which is just awful. Basically, ball rests on the sandy base from the property which is one big sandy waste area.
Playing there every week for a long time, my golfing buddies and I often wonder why the City of Delray Beach allows such a dismal representation of this city. Delray is one of the best tourist attractions in the US, and this course, which could be very nice, is just pathetic. There was talk about injecting 8mil into the course to bring it up to standards... but it was just talk and no action. The county courses for PB are very nice so it is possible to make a nice course. And this site is very well positioned being quite near downtown Delray. It could be a nice course, but it's not and apparently won't be under the current leadership.
I give this course 2 stars due to the staff and the location, but the course condition is depressing to see in South Florida.

Terrible Overall Course condition
Played there a few times, under duress! Have heard for years things are going to improve and nothing changes. It’s a tragedy the city of Delray does not take care, even just some improvement each year, of what could be a signature course for Delray. Shameful!
weekly player
the course itself is as hard as you want to make it depending on which set of tees you play. It's not particularly well maintained, but playable and the greens are slow, but given the typical slopes of the greens that's not a bad thing for most of us. traps not well maintained, but again that can be helpful. The layout is great, good mixture of 3s and 5s and dog legs and straight.. water not penal but in play.. plays at sea level so the ball doesn't go anywhere adding to the length. Pace of play is actually pretty good for public course and as it is flat walking it pleasant. I am a single and always joined to a group and never had an unpleasant experience. You can buy balls and gloves and hats if you've forgotten them. not much in the way of food and drink but again playable. If the city had the money to maintain it this would be a championship course.
Thank you for your review, richard6183476. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Delray Beach Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Classic Course. Poor management
This is a Donald Ross designed course. It should be on an historic register. The layout, thanks to Ross, is good. It can be enjoyable to play. The problem is the maintenance or lack thereof. Fairways are horrible. Maintenance is on-the-cheap. If the City funds it, they are not spending enough. If it is contracted, the contractor is maximizing profits by not maintaining the course. There really is no excuse. After playing a round the manager sends an email asking for comments. To respond you must open a Google email account or be on Facebook.

Classic
Great layout MrRoss. The placement of the bunkers with their yawning lips is classic. Under appreciated since this muni is neglected by the city of Delray.Too bad cause this jewel should sparkle. Don’t hesitate to give this track a try.
