Great day at Castle!

Playing at Castle Creek is not about condition. The greens are not doing well this winter, but are normally some of the best during the summer. Playing at Castle Creek is about the challenge. I have always enjoyed playing here.

Good price, poor course conditions

I have played this course a few times in the past and the course condition has deteriorated. Well below average from tee to green. The layout is decent, The $29 rate is good only if you want to get out of the house for 4 hours.

Back 9 makes this course

Course suffering from drought. Front 9 is so so, but back 9 builds character. Some very tough stretches with elevation changes and carries.

The course greens were not in great shape. Sprinklers were on in areas where I needed to access to hit my ball. This was near the green on several holes

For $20 a good value

Well, it is winter, but this is an average track and one should not over pay. It is not senic or remarkable.. There are no special features or attractions. The fairways are dormant. Lots of roll but not a great striking surface. The greens are average and the bunkers poor (good thing there are not a lot of fairway bunkers). I paid $20 on a weekday and so it was a good deal, but I wouldn"t want to pay more than $35 durring the week.

It's a reasonably challenging course for a reasonable price. Watch out on 10,11,12 as they are parallel fairways

A reasonable course for all skill levels

A combination of wide open as well as extremely narrow/tree-lined holes. Good variety of different looks for the 18 holes.

Fair Price for a Fair Trest

Castle Creek is in a beautiful setting and is a fair test of any golfer's skills. The fairways were okay, typical bermuda winter-fade. The greens varied greatly in conditions. I spoke to thePro SHop personnel after the round and they explained that the greens on the course had been infested by several different types of fungus. It was only recently that they discovered that different treatments were required. So some were great, some were spotty, and some were just really tough to find a good route to the hole!
All in all, a fair price for a fair test!

Not worth it even at $29.00!

Very, very poor condition. Tee Boxes uneven, poor grass and littered with divots. Fairways are covered in bare patches. Green in very poor shape with uneven grass coverage. This course suffers from has little or no proper maintenance.

Great Day!

Castle Creek is a great place to play and a real value. If you throw out 10,11, &12 which are way too narrow for the average golfer, the course is a great lay-out for the average player. There is enough variety of hole lay-outs and design. For the most part, except for the three mentioned holes, the course is fairly wide open. Paid $34 for a weekday rate. pace of play was good. Definitely will go back. North San Diego County has a lot of good courses with reasonable rates. Shop around.

Overpriced for crabgrass on the course

For a little local course the price is way too high. Most holes are boring and dead straight; but there are a few very challenging dog legs. What is awful is the condition of the grass just around the greens--the first cut was crabgrass ! Inexcusable for a course if there is a superintendent present

First time playing Castle Creek

Check-in easy and staff very accommodating. Play was delayed due to frost on greens. Men's club start times pushed back, however we were directed to begin at hole #2 to get started on time. Worked out great. Fairways and greens need some attention, with many areas that need improved grass growth. Very nice setting and enjoyed the round of golf. On par with others courses in the area.12/8/13

Played on a rain check, course is in great shape.

We were rained out after 3 holes, we were given a rain check by the course and played the next day. Very accomodating staff, good restaurant with a great selection of craft beers on tap. The course itself is in very good shape.

Course layout is alright, but very poor green condition.

We played on thanksgiving so the pace of play was excellent, 3 hours. The layout of the course is fine with plenty of length from the blue tees. The 596 yd par 5 played against the wind and was a challenge. Unfortunately the greens were in very poor shape, very bumpy with a lot of bare spots.
