Delaware Springs Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Named after the springs that snake through the layout, Delaware Springs Golf Course is a scenic links-style track that is one of the better values in Texas golf. The low prices and friendly service, combined with a picturesque and challenging golf course, make this a Hill Country favorite.
Architects Dave Axland and Dan Proctor built a natural-looking course that fits the terrain perfectly. The course is nestled into the rolling hills and oak trees along the Highland Lakes, playing 6,891 yards from the tips. During your round you’ll encounter lush fairways frequently loaded with bunkers, large greens that slope severely, and numerous bump and run shots. The designers added a few original touches, such as the descriptive Scottish names for each hole (the 18th is called "Hame" for the home hole).
Another interesting design twist involved placing the signature hole as the opener. Playing 504 yards to a par 5, no. 1 is best attacked with an iron into the left side of a sloping, tree-lined fairway. The creek cuts into the landing area, making it a testy tee shot. The second shot must bend around the dogleg to the left and over the creek, and the approach is into the green shaded by large trees on the right.

The Best Keep Getting Better
This place keeps exceeding expectations. The greens were the fastest I have played this year, the fairways were great, and the hamburger after the round topped off a great experience. For the price you cannot beat it. I only hope it stays under the radar and does not get over played or too expensive.
Delaware Springs 2025
Delaware Springs is always a great value the course is always an excellent shape and the staff as well couldn’t be pleased could be more pleased
Wow
We had a 12:44 tee time. We teed off about 10 minutes later. We had a foursome and a single in front of us. The single was a beginner was hitter the ball all over the course and hit one of the guys that was a foursome in front of him. I was a very slow and long day. I wish we would have know that they had punch the green, they were still fast and bumpy. Tan then on 17 in the fairway we had a group hit into us while we was waiting on the group on the green. No respect never came up to say sorry or my bad. I thought golf was a gentleman sport but now it’s a game of combat and who you can hit into.
Great course. Can’t wait to go back.
First time ever playing this course and was pleasantly surprised. Great layout throughout with some hidden challenges snuck in here and there.
The 4 of us got burgers at the clubhouse after our round and were thoroughly impressed.
Staff is very pleasant. Going to book again soon.
Fantastic
A group that of us played this course on a flier headed to San Antonio to play golf. What a Gem this place is. This is a great value course with plenty of challenges. This will now be on our list as a must play when we head this way to play. Well ran, and maintained. Simply a ton of fun to play.
Great golf course. Excellent value
First time ever playing this course and my friends and I were more than happy with the entire experience. Friendly staff, great conditions, fast pace of play, and a killer burger at the grill.
Can’t recommend it enough. Will definitely be booking this course again.
Very friendly staff. Played when it hasn't quite greened up but will probably play the course next year. We are visiting winter Texans and understand without overseeding the course, it won't be pristine but enjoyed our round.
Always a great time
Course is in great shape. Fairways and greens a little hard. Stuck behind a twosome that lost and looked for way too many balls that could have been moved along quicker by the Marshall.
First time that’s happened here in over ten rounds. Will be back.
Great course
The best greens I’ve played on in the Austin area, people actually fix their ball marks. One draw back no cart girl until March, but the layout of the course puts you back at the clubhouse halfway through each nine.
Worth Playing Again
Played this course again and enjoyed it more because it really takes some familiarity to score well.
Greens were not as lightening fast as the last time I played it, but are really decent.
True Gem
Great value, great amenities, friendly staff! Course was in great condition, fast greens for Feb 2. Travel out from Austin once every few months.
