Like an Easter egg hunt!

Course conditions and club house

The pro shop is poorly managed. The employees did not care and did not know about the conditions of the course. There were too many weeds and grass around fairways. tee boxes. the Greens were terrible. Dead patches.. Nothing compare to the pictures online..

Disappointed

The course was very disappointing.

The condition of the course was absolutely terrible. Fairways have plugged holes everywhere, there is no sign of which holes you are playing on any holes, the greens had holes and damaged everywhere.

I was also very lost trying to locate next holes since there are no sign showing you where and which hole you are playing.. for what I paid for the tee time, I feel bad that nice lay out course was left untouched to almost not the place you want to go back in the future.

Sad shadow of what once was

I don't know what has happened out at Castle Creek but it is a shell of what it used to be. Little to no maintenance at all. Can't really even say it has fairways when you hit it right down the middle and then can't find the ball. The only saving grace are the greens. Small, quick, and true - pro level. And charging $65 to play is absolutely robbery for the conditions. The website pictures are obviously very old - certainly do not show the reality now. I hope someone or a group with money will buy it and restore it to what it used to be...because it used to be spectacular.

Maybe it's just me....

Maybe it's just me but if you can't afford a lawnmower, maybe you shouldn't own a golf course. PLEASE SEE IT TO SOMEONE WHO CARES! Take the money and move on.

Sad to see CC this bad

I hadn't played Castle Creek in about 10 years, but used to play this course often. It has fallen on really hard times. The club house is 90% mothballed; gophers, ground squirrels, and coyotes have taken over the rough. It is unfortunate, as the course layout is fun and it used to be a thriving course on the weekends. Now the only thing thriving are the pickleball courts.

The weeds and gopher holes are so bad in the rough, you have about a 30% chance of finding any ball hit into the rough. The greens were not as bad as the rough, but still need some major tlc. The "pro-shop" is essentially 2 drink fridges, and a few boxes of snacks.

I only saw 6 other people playing during my entire round (prime time on a beautiful Sunday).

I have to believe that the owner of this course is looking to dump it, as there is the least amount of support possible .

The course was run down due to the drought. There were leaves everywhere and you could easily lose your balls. The greens were satisfactory.

A Joke

This course should pay you to drive out and play it. It’s in shambles. I played like 8 months or so ago and I can assure you it’s still trash even after all the rain we got. The grass was dead it was dirty and dusty. Impossible to find a ball that was in play. I’m mainly leaving this review because somehow they feel the can charge $45 to play here. It should cost $10 to play here and that’s because you couldn’t get on anywhere else and you had to swing em.

Not as bad as some reviews

We felt like the course layout was good, but it definitely needed some attention. I hope you can find the funding to bring the course conditions back up. It was a great layout and would be an awesome course with a little care.

Potential

The club house is very very run down. But the course has a lot of character. Not very busy so I was able to play two balls. For the money it was good.

Very poor conditions

I've played here previously and enjoyed the course. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the course conditions for this round.

The greens need attention the tee's are rough and the fairways are mostly dirt. Someone really needs to take charge and get the course back in better shape.

The course was in rough condition

Overall the layout and fairway shots are fun, but parts of the course are in really rough condition. The tee boxes and greens are the worst culprits of this. Overall, if you can get a deal to play here I’d say give it a shot. Otherwise, you should look to other golf courses.
