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.

Memories

Grew up playing the old course. The more I play the new holes, the more I like most of them. The new hole greens need help. You can notice a great difference between them and the 7 old greens. The old greens heal much better and are strikingly more consistent. The fairways are excellent. Number 15, however, is mowed crazy. Hit a drive in the middle and you can be in the rough. It should be mowed like the old course was right up to the road. A starter is needed.

Home of the Boomer

Weekday, half full parking lot, and the round still took over 4.5 hours.

Average age was roughly 65 and the vast majority were playing from the wrong tee boxes, spending far too long looking for balls & on the green.

Course is in great shape aside from a few tee boxes.

If you like driving in the left hand lane of a highway in a line of cars going 55 mph, this course is for you.

One Of My Favorite Courses

This is one of my favorite courses in Central Ohio. It is a little pricey but if falls into the category of you get what you pay for. My daughter attends college in the area so we play here a couple of times a year when I am in town for a visit. The course is typically in very good shape. The back nine (the Donald Ross holes) I find more challenging with the smaller greens. On this particular visit it was me and my two daughters. There was a single player that was combined with our group whom we hit it off well with. The pace of play was great as we moved along without waiting for a group in front or being pushed by a group from behind. Staff was very friendly.

Been here before and will come back again. Course in very good shape with the exception of some of the tee boxes, which could use a good roll after a heavy rain to flatten them out. And bunkers didn't look like they were raked to start the day.
Yeah, I'm nit-picking a little but like I said, the course was in very good shape and I'd definately play here again!
Oh...would have been nice to have a beverage cart on the course.
