add_filter('acf/load_value/name=start_date', 'delete_old_courses_by_date');
function delete_old_courses_by_date($rows, $post_id, $field) {
  if (!is_array($value) || !count($value)) {
    return $value;
  }
  // get the current date
  $now = date("Ymd");

  // set up a new array to hold the values we keep
  $new_value = array();
  foreach ($rows as $row) {
    // the php strtotime() function could fail depending on
    // the return format of the date/time fields
    // this requires a valid date/time format as documented here
    // http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php
    // if this does not work I probably won't be much help figuring
    // our how to covert your return value to something usable
  $start = date("Ymd", strtotime(get_sub_field('start_date')));
    if ($start > $now) {
      $new_value[] = $row;
    }
  }
  return $new_value;
}

Look at this code. Can you figure out what is wrong with it.

The fields look like this in admin
