Castle Oaks Golf Club

Course under new ownership,appears course will updated.will go back in month to see improvements.My outing was fine concerning conditions,Give a try when .

We played here over the Memorial Day weekend and were sad to see the condition of the course. I left an unfavorable review at that time. We played it again on July 6th and were so glad to see the course conditions had returned to their normal, good state. We played as a twosome. Two groups let us play through that allowed us to play the round in 3 and a half hours. It was a very enjoyable round.

Tons of hazards. Poorly maintained on all fronts. Greens have leprosy. Bunkers are wet concrete. Fairways are full of terrible lies due to grass conditions. Tee boxes overgrown. Cart paths full of debris. Water hazards are algae infested. Will not be back unless they change management and dramatically improve.

First, the guy in the shop was great and I feel bad for everyone there that has been working while this course straddles the line between being in operation or closing. Nothing in the pro shop, etc. Feels dreadful. To the course, which has one of my favorite layouts around. It’s a tough and demanding test, even if many of the holes aren’t quite lengthy. Greens were ok, for once. Fairways were awful. There’s grass but they’re not cutting it very well, or at all. Thick and no runout. And you’d find better tee boxes at just about any other golf course around. Thick, uneven grass. Horrible. The rough was crazy deep, too. Way too deep in many spots right off the fairway. This isn’t supposed to emulate Oakmont. We’ll see what happens with the sale, but I’ll not be back until I hear they’ve decided to operate this course with the right attention to important characteristics.

Course was in pretty good shape after almost closing two months ago when it was in terrible condition. Fairways and rough are still green. Haven’t been affected by high temps yet. Rough was cut to a manageable length. Only complaint would be some rough spots on some of the greens. Really happy this course stayed open and is now in better shape.

I played this course many times over the last couple of years. And it's always been beautiful fun to play Love the layout, and I went on May 29th, with my son and it was awful pro. Shop had nothing in it. The fairways were dry and dark, hardly any. Grass, it was just awful. Sad to see, I really enjoyed this course.

City of Ione has taken over the management of this course. No water avaiable so course is very dry

Course is not well maintained. Grass is mostly yellow and lots of bear spots on fairway.

This used to be a nice course. It is not at this time.

The tee boxes and most of the fairways are dried-out, dead grass. The greens are throughly pitted up with ballmarks.

The rumors that we were told amounted to the course had been firr sale and the buyer backed out. Whether the rumors are true or not, the place appears to not be loved by those that should be taking care of it.

Fairways very dry it looks like only the greens are being watered right now.
