Just say no

Not sure when the photos of the course were taken but they are not representative of the current condition. As noted by many reviewers, the course is not up to "par". Not even close. I wish I would have read the reviews before booking. I left after 9 holes.

Course needs upkeep

Perhaps it's due to being wintertime, but the course was not in the greatest shape. Many areas were overcome with gophers everywhere. Many areas had large swaths of dead or no grass (including the greens). Greens not well maintained, just check out pictures on Yelp or TripAdvisor. The club house is very run down, needs a complete remodel. I would say this course is probably worth more like $20 a round instead of $45 with the cart.

OMG

The worst golf course I have ever played. Goat track all the way. You would be better off playing a hay field. Literally, if a golf course was on meth, this would

Be it. Just subdivide it already.

Really Poor COndition.

The course is unkept and in really poor condition. The greens are full of bald spots, etc. Despite all of that, I actually had a good time.

I never write reviews but the guy in the shop (Ricky) has a terrible attitude.

Ricky is a total jerk, have played here multiple times but I'm done until hes out. Everyone I meet on the course brings up the same topic... his extremely horrible attitude. Its always the same poor demeanor and if the front is packed he wont allow anyone on the back. After waiting in line the starters just say yeah just start on the back. Hey Ricky you're an idiot.

Adrian on the other hand is awesome.

To the owners, why would you continue to employ someone with such a bad attitude and that clearly hates everyone around him and every customer. I can tolerate the subpar course conditions but fix your attitude or because the one you have SUCKS! Let him go already.

Keep your money, do not ever play this course

As avid couple rounds per week player and don’t usually give comments. However, this course is beyond my imagination. If there is a 5 stars negative, I would give it a negative 6 stars. The course condition is horrible and the putting greens are beyond bad. The clubhouse starter guy name Greg is so rude and disrespectful. Save your money, this course doesn’t deserve your valuable money and time. In addition, do not trust the photos on golfnow or tee time. They misrepresented and misleading the true horrible nature of the course.

Terrible conditions

It appears no one is caring for this course. The greens are diseased with large pot marks making putting impossible. The bunkers have grass growing out of them and the fairways are as much dirt as they are grass. On top of that due to the Covid demands they have raised there rates. It just appears the owners are looking to milk every penny out of this before they sit it down.

Awful Course Not Worth the money!!!

This course is progressively getting worse and worse! It looks nice and green in the pictures but in reality is yellow and potholes on the green!! Worst greens I've ever seen! Not worth more than $25 MAX!!

Castle Creek goat trail

This is a must avoid course. Putting was more like mini golf with pot holes all over the greens. Fairways were as much dirt as grass. Looks like they stoped watering and taking care of the course. Marshall refused to monitor the course and the round took 5+ hrs to complete waiting at all most every hole . Thing of the worst possible conditions and you have Castle Creek as a poster child.

ABANDONDED

The owners are charging money for an abandoned establishment. What can I say.... gophers everywhere.....Most of the greens looked like the backside of the moon There iia debris ieverywhere

No labor expended from starters office to the 18th green. The course could be great . Ownership has turned it into an embarrassing situation

Yikes

I try to golf as much as possible. My motto for tee times is quantity over quality. I read the reviews and thought I was prepared for how bad this place would be... but course condition was even worse than imagined. The mold / dirt patches on every green make them unputtable. Really sad too because the layout has potential. Will not play here again.
