MLK Holiday Golf

I used Golf Now knowing that it was a Holiday Monday and course would be busy and probably expensive. Golf Now was perfect! We got on before the crowd, played at great pace, and for less than $50 for 2!
Course condition was tough after rains, as not much grass to hit off of, but it was still fun.
Golf Now needs to eliminate those courses that advertise 9 hole rates to get your interest.

Castle Creek

It was fine. The grass is painted green in lots of areas. For the price it was nothing to complain about. Made my tee time the night before. No food, no drinks, no cart girl, no driving range. I'll plan better next time. I may play there again.

Shocking poor conditions

I have been playing Castle Creek for at least 15 years. I've seen it in good shape and not so good shape but I was shocked to see how the course has deteriorated. It reminds me of Escondido Country Club just before it closed for good. Seems like this course is headed for the same fate.
Too bad because it's a good layout. There may be too much damage to survive. I wish them the best but I have scratched CC from my rotation.

Yikes

Had 8 am tee time, didn't get out until 8:30. Took 4 plus hours to play 14 holes. Course is in horrible condition- majority of the course is dead or dirt, green appear green but are painted green. 5somes all over the place, people in jeans.... Pretty bad.

Conditions not worth the fee

I believe the green fees should be a factor of the course conditions. The fairways were dead grass and the greens were dried out and extremely fast. it wasn't worth the amount of the fees charged.

Good balue

This course has always had a great layout It is undergoing repairs and up keep and from the looks of it it will be ready for prime time around February. But it was a fun round with a challenge from any of the tee boxes. Greens had been punched a few weeks prior and were close to fully repaired. Some fungus issues on some greens still present but not enough to hurt the round. Fun Outing. Good value.

Don't go now

The course is in poor conditions with many bare spots in tee boxes, fairways, and rough. You could easily injure your wrists and elbows if you mis-hit your shot and come to in contact the ground first. It was disappointing to play 18 holes on a course in such a rough condition. We would not play this course again until we are sure that the conditions have improved.

Used to be a fun course

Whomever maintains this course needs to be fired. The fairways were mostly dead dry grass, the bunkers were solid dirt no sand, and the greens were the only "green" part on the course.

The pace of play was so slow on the back 9 we had to jump over to hole 12.... it was a solid 45 minute wait to tee off of 9.

Poorly maintained and poorly managed course

Interesting Layout ... Dry Fairways ... Greens in Good Condition ... Dense Sand in the Bunkers

The good ... 4 hour round, inexpensive green fees, interesting layout, friendly staff, greens in good condition. The bad ... I had numerous bare lies, dry fairways, bunker sand is more dirt than sand. This course is a trade-off of price, interesting holes, good greens and poor course condition. I might play it again, but would not recommend it to my friends.

All greens were full of sand. It's like putting on a beach. They should have sanded at least 9 holes at a time. Otherwise might as well close the course. It's not playable.

First time in a long time

Played the course years ago.....as far back as when it was called Circle R Ranch.....lot more maturity, lots of big trees......greens were good....traps, terrible.....yard ages seem pretty far from correct.
Lots of tees being worked on, so probably a contributor.
Confronted 3 singles at different times,,one of whom hit into us......we allowed all to play through since we were a fore some.....wondering why the shop didn't let them play together.....as opposed to all singles.....

Good greens

The course is well kept in spite of the drought. They do well with the greens. The fairways are kind of dry but very playable. The grounds crew makes the most of the water they are allotted.
