Course Overview
Delaware Golf Club, located in Delaware, Ohio, offers a compelling blend of challenge and charm within its 18-hole layout. This public-access course is designed for golfers seeking a thoughtful test without sacrificing enjoyment. The course stretches over approximately 6,800 yards from the back tees with a par of 72, delivering a balanced mixture of length and precision that invites players across skill levels to engage with the strategic demands it presents.
Framed by mature trees and diverse terrain, the course's parkland style offers an experience where natural features gently influence play rather than dominate it. Golfers will encounter tight fairways in several areas where accuracy off the tee becomes paramount. Water hazards and well-placed bunkers add layers of complexity near the greens, compelling players to consider risk and reward on approach shots. The course flows sequentially through rolling landscapes, with occasional elevation changes that require careful club selection and attention to shot trajectory.
The setting reflects the changing seasons of Central Ohio, lending a distinct character throughout the year. Spring and fall rounds feature vibrant foliage, while summer brings perfectly manicured fairways and receptive greens. The pace of play is generally manageable, though peak times can become crowded, demanding some advance planning and patient navigation.
Amenities surrounding the course include a well-stocked pro shop and practice facilities that support pre-round preparation and post-round improvement. Golfers benefit from helpful staff on site who provide guidance and maintain hospitality throughout the visit. Walking is encouraged, with cart availability on request. Players who prefer to walk should prepare for a course that offers modest elevation variation and firm footing.
Delaware Golf Club strikes a balance between accessibility and challenge. It rewards thoughtful shot-making without overwhelming the weekend player, making it a versatile choice for those in the Central Ohio region aiming to sharpen their game or enjoy a rewarding day outdoors. Whether playing casually or competing, the course delivers a solid, straightforward experience that echoes the traditions of classic Midwestern parkland golf.

The staff is super friendly and I am a pain sometimes. Had to go to the clubhouse to ask a lot of questions and they were also ways helpful. Only played 9 holes, but the course seems to be in great shape. It was right after a lot of rain and they did a great job getting us out onto the course. It's pretty tight in some spots and really makes you think about your shots. The range is cool hitting into the water, but I wish there were some bouys showing the distance every 50 yards or so. It's tough to gauge how your distribution is without any landmarks. I used my MLM so it wasn't bad, but it would be nice to see some targets in the water too. A lot of fun, I will be back.

Terrible experience…. Paid at the pro shop and the guy asked if I wanted a receipt. I asked if I needed one for the starter and he said no so I replied all good. At the first tee box a guy came rushing out and claimed someone didnt pay in my group asking for receipts. I explained I didnt have one but showed the charge on my phone. The guy took my phone out of my hands and said the pro needed to see my phone then drove away with my phone. On hole 3 he caught up to us and returned my phone but said the pro needed to see us at the turn. At the turn the pro matched my card to a receipt they had with little to no acknowledgement of the hounding after I had paid. Extremely disorganized and I will never be back. If you want to relax and play golf, go somewhere else. I wasted $85. The tee times were super close and most holes had groups stacked even though we were the 7:20am tee time. 5 hour round and when the ranger would drive by they didnt do anything to improve the pace of play. I expected to be treated better for $85. This course is now on my do not play list.

“One of Ohio’s premier golf courses” is what they claim. But with no ranger, this course is nothing but wasted potential. Everytime I have been here the pace is terrible, and the staff is hassling golfers to finish asap because they are overbooked and short on carts. Either get the first tee time or go somewhere else.

Great course! Played 18 yesterday. The course was well-manicured, and the pace of play was great. Finished a round with a foursome in just under 4 hours. Staff was friendly at check-in. The course ranger checking in was greatly appreciated! Will play again!
