Delaware Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Delaware Golf Club sprawls across rolling countryside that lends an idyllic and secluded setting. Donald Ross designed the original nine holes in 1922 and they were later joined by a second nine designed by Michael Hurzdan in 1998. The layout meanders through wooded valleys and ravines. The rolling fairways are fairly wide but they are lined with mature trees and bunkers heavily guard the small, undulating greens. There are also water hazards that come into play on a number of holes. Delaware Golf Club's second hole is notably challenging, it is arguably the toughest hole on the front nine. This par-4 requires not only accuracy in order to avoid the ravine on the left but also distance to carry the lake and remain in the angled fairway. Golfers will be faced with one of the most difficult putts on the golf course if their approach finds the wrong side of the green.

Love this course, best in Delaware area (public), great staff, and is definitely my favorite course in the area! And if you like challenges, play this beauty from the blacks at 7000 yds, and especially considering some holes are uphill and maybe into the wind.
TonyTiger73, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Delaware Golf Club.
Some greens covered with leaves
We saw a crew out blowing leaves off the cart paths but they needed someone to blow the leaves off the greens. There were a couple of greens that weren't puttable due to all the leaves. Other than that course was in great shape.
Hello, u000005486708. Thank you for visiting us at Delaware Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Amazing layout & amazing greens
When you play a course in late October in Ohio your expectations should be lowered. But there is no need to do that at Delaware. Leaves under control and greens were perfect!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, Don2861402! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Delaware Golf Club.

This course is rather expensive for what is provided. The way my group was treated is unacceptable.
Course condition: 3/5 Not what I would expect from a $60 course. Rough was very long and difficult to play from. Fairways were in decent shape. Greens were pretty good but not great. Bunkers were acceptable (which is an improvement from the past couple times I've played here)
Pace of play: 4/5 Right at what you would expect. Seems to be about impossible to tee on time here in the mornings. Usually about 15 minutes behind from my experience. Played with 3 players in approximately 4 hours 24 minutes.
Off-Course amenities: 1 urinal and 1 stall in the clubhouse bathroom. Really? Why we were late to the first tee box by the way.
Service and overall treatment from staff: 0/5 This is there this course fails the test. See below.
Arrival and first tee: Our tee time was 10:30 AM. We arrived at the course about 10:15, got held up in the clubhouse a bit and arrived at the first tee 10:36. The starter clearly looks well behind schedule with about 4-5 groups crowding the practice area. I apologize for being a bit late myself (6 minutes to be exact) and I receive a rather crappy comment and he said it will be about 8 more minutes before they can get us off. But we were not allowed to leave the first tee box without a full lecture on how WE need to speed things up and get things going when THEY are clearly the ones that either overbooked the morning or are just not keeping things timely.
Hole 5: At this point it is important to note that the group behind us is about 2-3 strokes behind. I'm greeted at the tee box by another staff, who begins to lecture us on pace of play. Paraphrased dialogue below.
Me: What is the pace of play out here?
Him: 15 minutes per hole (4 hours 30 minutes per round)
Me: How fast are we playing?
Him: *checks phone and promptly puts back in pocket. Mumbles under his breath, and gets back in cart*
We were actually 6 minutes ahead of schedule and they are clearly harassing us for no reason other than THEY are behind. I don't see this staff member for the remainder of my round.
Hole 10 and Hole 14: We continue to have similar check ins and lectures about pace of play with the original starter even though we were playing ahead of schedule. But I will note that we played the whole round in under 4.5 hours. While finishing within 5 minutes of the group in front of us.
Conclusion: This is not the way I would hope to be treated at a golf course. Not only is it embarrassing, it is also uncalled for.
We were literally harassed all day. I came to have a relaxing round of golf and instead I was meant with hostility and rudeness. Not only will I not be back but you shouldn't go either.
Beautiful course
We used to play Delaware in our league But always played the senior tees. Played it yesterday from the white tees. We enjoyed our round of golf
Very nice golf course with a long history. Very unique layout and the conditions were excellent . Highly recommend this course to anyone.

This is not only a great bang for your buck it is quite a challenging test of golf. Course conditioned excellent…greens good. They need to encourage more repairing of ball marks. Some tough holes but golf was not meant to be easy. Plus the staff goes WAY out of their way to make sure you have a good experience
