Castle Creek Country Club

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I didn't play. Golf course closed!

Please! Money back to me.

THX!

The nerve of this place to call it a championship golf course, it’s not even a golf course… it’s a cow pasture waiting for the cows to come home. There was ten times as many people playing pickle ball, because there was 3 people playing golf. It’s hard to explain, especially after looking at their web site pictures which must have been taken in the 70’s. I don’t want to waste anymore time on this travesty, suffice to say… the fairways have no grass, and gopher holes every step of the way. The greens are like putting on your crabgrass infected mowed lawn in your backyard. I can’t believe Golf Now would charge me to play this piece of crap masquerading as a golf course. Stay away.

We showed up 30 minutes before our tee time and the guy working at the front desk, said you guys should go look at the course before you play. We quickly saw the course was completely dry and was unplayable. The guy in the pro shop then informed us that the course hadn't been watered in 3 months. The guy at the pro shop said he would cancel our round. Me and my other 3 friends quickly found a course close and were able to get a round in. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. I also still got charged by GolfNow which is insane.

The course looks to have had good bones in the past. It is in horrible shape now. Bunkers and fairways had not been maintained in quite some time. Most of the lies in the fairway were bare. There were downed trees everywhere. The greens were spotty and slow. I strongly suggest not playing this course. No matter how little they charge, it's not worth it. It's too bad because it is a nice layout.

Nothing but dirt and mud in the fairway. Save your time and money play ANYWHERE else.

fairways were brown and hard with ground squirrels holes everywhere greens were rough to putt on, no true

rolls.

We had a teetime for three people we paid for the cancellation fee policy when we arrived. The course was non-playable and we did not play. We requested a refund and they told us we need to get that through you. Please contact us ASAP as we did not play a single hole.

I know that this course gets MANY very negative reviews.

CONS:

- Some fairways are mostly dirt.

- Bunkers need to be filled in with something.

PROS:

- Greens are in really good shape & very puttable.

-Tee Boxes are improved significantly.

-Staff was very friendly.

- Two beers & one bottle of water at the turn $10 total.

-Played comfortably in 3 1/2 hours.

- Hot Deals at decent times (which I didn't use) for $23.99!

After booking a "Hot Deal" on GolfNow that clearly stated "Cart Included", the front office tried to extort $10 additional for a cart! The reason given was that the course does not make any money when the Hot Deal is used. If I am not mistaken, that is not my problem. When I suggested they contact Golf Now and have them revise the offer, they said their plan is to wait until people arrive, hit them up for the extra $$ and if the customer refuses, they will allow the customer to fight with Golf Now to get their money back. So it appears they want the advertising Golf Now provides but they don't want to honor the deals. The guy told me Golf Now does not say "cart included" but then I showed them right on the receipt that it does. After much arguing, they let us play according to the Hot Deal but no one should have to have that argument when they are just trying to go have a nice day. The poor guy at the desk is clearly intimidated by the owner. It's not his fault. It's the owner. Congratulations! You just lost our group of 20 rounds per month.
