Castle Bay Country Club

Based on a recommendation from a worker at a course played earlier in the week, we booked Castle Bay. This is a great course with perfect fairways and consistent greens. The links style gives you plenty of room off of the tee. The Bermuda greens putted well and were receptive to all kinds of shots.

The only real ding is that the the grill is closed, so no food or drinks at the turn or after the round.

Castle Bay is definitely on the rotation for my next trip back to the area.

Course played great, greens rolled well, enjoyed the grass driving range chipping area. But on a scorcher like yesterday having a drinks cart come around at least once would’ve been very much appreciated! Otherwise a good overall experience including a friendly pro shop staff.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was just looking to get in an early morning round while on vacation in Topsail Beach and found this course. Had the first tee time, played in less than 2.5 hours. The greens were in excellent condition, the fairways were above average… there was a lot of rain the night before so some water in the traps, but overall I enjoyed the layout… I love links style golf, and although not a true links, the feel and character was there. Very enjoyable.

Great track with excellent range of tee boxes. Fairways and greens in excellent shape. Coming from NY it took a little getting used to the speed of the greens. They roll smooth! I suggest rolling some putts to acclimate

yourselves. The cart yardage provided was accurate and helpful. Also it was not too loud as to bother another player. I can hardly wait to play here again! The 18th is the kind of hole that I dream about!

It’s a great course for a weekend round. A couple of unique holes that require some strategy with forced layups for not big hitters like me. GPS on the carts is a nice touch. The usual amount of first timers and just slow players that can affect pace of play, but hasn’t a huge issue the times I’ve played. 3 weekend rounds so far.

Castle bay is a good layout and is in great shape (fairways and greens). I like it and is not long even from the tips.

Terrible conditions. No idea what they are doing to the fairways that were completely destroyed with tire tracks and mud .

Played here in June and it was in great shape so really stunned how bad a shape this course was in today. P

Liked everything about it. A little wet due to rain the night before. Greens are in great shape as well.

Very fair playable course Room on fairways. . Greens rolled nice.

I've played the course two times this week and enjoyed both rounds.

Layout is fun. Fairways are very good, greens could roll better and some bunkers are not well maintained.

Would play again.

Great course, fast greens, wide open course other than the links off the fairway.

Ranger checking on things thru out play. Only downfall was we never seen a cart girl , could have definitely used some cold beverages
