About this course

Delaware Springs Golf Course sits in the Texas Hill Country near Burnet, roughly an hour northwest of Austin. Designed by Dave Axland and Dan Proctor and opened in the early 2000s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with elevation changes, native grasses, and limestone outcroppings that define the landscape. The design takes advantage of natural contours and incorporates the area's scrub oak and juniper vegetation, creating a layout that feels integrated into its surroundings rather than imposed upon them. Axland and Proctor, both known for their work on accessible public and daily-fee courses in Texas, routed Delaware Springs to offer variety in hole length and direction while working with the property's natural drainage patterns. The course features several holes that play across or along draws and gullies, requiring golfers to navigate both the topography and the wind that often sweeps through the Hill Country. Greens are typically elevated or set into hillsides, and bunkering is used selectively to frame approaches and define playing corridors. Delaware Springs operates as a public facility serving the Burnet area and visitors exploring the Highland Lakes region. The course provides a straightforward golf experience without extensive amenities, appealing to players seeking a round in a natural Hill Country setting. Its design reflects the practical, regionally grounded approach that Axland and Proctor have brought to several Texas courses, emphasizing playability and respect for the land's existing character.

Getting there

Delaware Springs Golf Course lies in the Texas Hill Country, roughly an hour's drive northwest of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) along a route that gradually trades the capital's sprawl for the rolling limestone terrain and live oak groves of Burnet County. The journey follows Highway 183 through small towns and ranch land, the landscape opening into the characteristic ridges and valleys that define this corner of central Texas. As you approach Burnet, the road narrows and the pace slows, signaling arrival in a region where golf unfolds at a quieter, more unhurried rhythm than the city left behind.
