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.

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.
Challenging Diamond in the Rough
This is a classic course. This course could easily be turned into a gem with some better greens keeping. A bit overplayed and many of the tee boxes need repair and leveling. This Pete Dye layout combined with Fuzzy Zoeller touches makes for a test for any Amateur with a 8-12 hcp from the Blue Tees at 6500+. A real fun course that requires shot making. Really love this course but it needs to revaluate ending on a Par 3?

Don’t call the course for customer service
Very poor customer service (or should I say NO customer service) and rates extremely high for winter rates. Made several attempts to book a tee time over the phone given the iffy weather forecast in Columbus even leaving messages for a return call. That never occurred. Another individual in our group had to physically stop to get one scheduled.

A quality course of old and new designs
Pulling into the Delaware Golf Club, it reminds you of an older layout, passing holes with bunkers around the greens and a one way entrance that takes you to the clubhouse. One of the unique features of the club is the lake driving range. Aqua floater balls are used year round as you hit your shots into a lake, approximately 340 yards long by 50 yards wide. The front nine winds thru houses and trees with some long par 3s. Then the original Ross nine has drastically smaller round greens with more undulations than the front nines greens. While leaves off the fairway make finding your ball 30/70, fairways and greens were soft, but for fall an overall great day in the 50s. Greens rolled well and held. Overall, the course was in good to above average condition.
Great! 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.

Condition
The new greens just don’t have the foundation of the old 7 greens. Too bad since that detracts from the experience.
#15…the way the fairway is mowed is just plain stupid. Hit a good drive that splits the fairway and your in the rough. Mow the fairway correctly, and add a local rule to get a drop from the incline by the road.
Course is in great shape tee to green.
