Castle Bay Country Club

Unique layout for our area. Well worth the drive from Wilmington. Fairways and greens were in great shape. GPS on the cart gives you exact distance to the pin as well as contours. Driving range was grass, not mats. Overall much better than your options in Wilmington.

Course was very wet almost flooded. Cart path only (unless you were a ranger tearing up the place). Driving range closed. Some tee boxes very poor and crabgrass/torn up. As much as I wanted to play, the course should have been closed to protect it!

Fun layout in good condition. Plenty difficult if you wanted it to be from the back tees, but playable. Don’t be deceived by the dated web presence - this is a track worth playing.

The course looked great and was in great condition, but the driving range was under water. It was so wet you couldn’t even hit out of it. The worst part though is the pace of play. They book tee times so close together that we spent a good 10-20 min on every hole just waiting for the two groups ahead of us to tee off. To me it just wasn’t worth the money to sit around and wait half the day.

First time playing here, it was pretty crowded so pace was slow on the front 9 but outside of that I have very few complaints if any. The greens were slow but still absolutely playable! The fairways were in very good condition having it stormed the day before. Cart path only wasn't the worst for this course. There was even ice available at the clubhouse for the coolers on the carts. Overall good experience and worth the price

Lovely links course. Greens were blemish free which make it hard for me to line up my put :>). They were also on the slow side perhaps because they let it grow a little longer in the 90 degree plus temperature.. Fairways were fairly wide open but beware the fairway traps, hidden water and many mounds with pesky links growth on top.

Our family comes to Wrightsville Beach every year and Castle Bay is always on our list to play!

I really like this course and it's reasonably priced for what you get. I like the layout and depending on which tees you play from can give you a different experience. My only recommendation is to provide ice in the coolers provided on the cart. We played and it felt like 100+ and it would have been nice to have some ice!

Course was in good shape and friendly staff. Played with two other young men that were great. Only issue, played back nine behind a group just learning to play (actually first time 9 & 11). All about learning the game but also made our back nine much longer. Course was packed and then caught by a storm on the last hole.

Course is fairly open so errant shots are recoverable. Conditions were excellent, though told greens were a bit slower than normal. Nice practice areas and driving range available. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely play there again. Good pricing on Golf Now.

Not a bad place to get a round or two in! Pace of play can be bad at times but that happens on a golf course. Would recommend but if it’s windy but a couple sleeves of balls.
