In my own opinion, the problem with Delicious varieties, both Red and Golden, is that they are only good to eat within two hours after being picked -- and then they start to go mealy and mushy and bland, and do it pretty quickly.

I also don't associate speckling with Delicious varieties at all, though you may have a hybrid Golden Delicious with a Pippin variety. Not sure which of those are still green in color when ripe though.

What's the overall shape of the ripe fruits?
