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.

Pace of play was one of the best I've experienced this summer. Course was in good shape. Starter and pro shop clerk very nice. Not worth the $75 rate for 18 holes. Nice layout and challenging holes. I would recommend this course to others.

Very nice public course

Very fun course. Was grouped up with three others for most of the round and they were pleasant to be around. Course officials and clubhouse staff alike were approachable and courteous. Just wish they would have had hot food at the turn (but it was an early tee time of 7 AM). First time playing the course as a beginner who can usually shoot sub-90 but shot 99 here not really due to the course but moreso I was playing bad. Would love to come back and play better golf here!

Good tough greens and layout

Poor customer service non existent in some areas mar tjis beautiful tough challenging course
No Bev cart no ranger ( 5 hour rounds norm ) no sand jn some bunkers ? No range balls so range closed
Easy fixes for an owner that cares
Lot choices Central Ohio we’ve played them all
Course gives you lot tough shots and greens really
Challenging
Hopefully they get service together soon !
