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.

Slow Pace

We teed off after the rain and the group ahead of us was absolutely clueless on how to play golf. About the 11th hole the ranger finally asked us how the pace of play was and we told him, from that point on we didn’t have to wait on them but a ranger keeping the pace before that would have been much nicer. Played here 50+ times and never dealt with it before so just a one off but very annoying for the 1st time out this year.

Interesting track

Front 9 is a new edition and the back 9 is the classic Donald Ross design. Boy, could you tell the difference in difficulty! Felt like we played two different courses which was a lot of fun. Early season course conditions (unmowed tee boxes) but for the rainy weather the course overall was in good shape. Greens were rolling well. Would like to come back when the course is at top shape!

Amazing Golf Course

Delaware GC is the best course around Columbus for the price, it is a challenging course but open enough to allow recovery from miss hits on most holes. The staff is very friendly and fast. The course can get busy but typically the pace is good, at times you can have a long round but nothing too crazy.

Very OK

Pace of play was painfully slow on a Friday evening. The course layout is extremely confusing, weaving in and out of residential streets. Many of the holes feel forced and the design doesn’t make much sense. Tee boxes banged up, greens were fast.
