Great Greens

What I like about Casta Del Sol is the fact you'll use every club in your bag. A great test of all shots.

Greens are exeptional as good as most full size above average courses.

Sloooow

Took 4.5hrs to play 18, when it should probably take 3.5. Two groups in front were complete hacks and played at a snails pace and staff did nothing about it, despite our requests. Greens aren't the greatest, making it hard to putt. Not a bad course for the price, but bring a few extra beers, because you may be waiting around a bit.

Great Short Game Tune Up Spot

For those who haven't been to Casta Del Sol, it is an 18 hole "executive course," one of Ted Robinson's original designs from the 1960s. This is a difficult easy course; the course boasts only five par 4s, but it has the hardest par 3 in OC, in the 18th hole, a 227 yard punt over a stream with water left, bunders left and right of the green, and a ravine/water course running down the left side. Water plays a part in about half the holes on the front, and most of the holes on the back. It's an 'easy course' if you're use to playing Shorecliffs or Arroyo Trabuco,, but I bet you don't break par!

Great course

This course is in good shape, greens were nice. It can be a nightmare on the weekends because of the families and beginning golfers on the course. We played on Monday at 10:22 and got through in under 4 hours. If you can hit it straight off the tee you will have a great time here. No need to bring a drive, maybe a 3 wood on a couple holes.
Had a great time

Crowded and SLOW

Course crams too many groups in too tight. Waited on every hole for one to two groups, twosomes, threesomes, foursomes even a group of 6 with 4 walking. No course rangers with control, no spacing off first tee, Twosomes not playing together - remaining separate. This is a short, par 60 course that took over 5 hours to play!

Fun coarse great for short game tune up.

Greens were rolling great. Challenging pin positions made what should be an easy coarse into some what of a challenge. Would recommend a round there.

A fun executive course

This course is fun and challenging. The greens are usually fast and depending on the pin placement, reading the break and the speed presents problems. The ninth and eighteenth are the toughest holes with the drainage ditch just waiting to collect under struck shots. A great value, especially if you walk.

Decent play

The course staff is punching and sanding the greens as well as thatching the tee boxes. Otherwise the course was in good condition.

May never play again at this course.

The tee times were so backed up on 9/2/13, our group left the course after the 9th hole which took 3 1/2 hours to a get to.

Our tee time was 8:15, we teed off at 8:50.

Was a nice place to play before because of the speed, seems like they are overbooking tee times now.

Course is in good condition with some scenic views

Course is well-maintained and is great for a beginner as well as the more experienced player. Accuracy is important as some fairways are quite narrow with OB and some water hazards. Bunkers were in excellent condition. No driving range -- which is a drawback.

DIVE BAR OF A GOLF COURSE

THE GREENS ARE IN HORRIBLE CONDITION, NO ONE FIXES THEIR BALL MARKS. The pace is very slow, and the dress code is not enforced.

Casta Del Sol

Felt like there were a lot of people on the course. The tee times were backed up and there were groups of 5 on the course that seemed to slow things down.

Usually it would only take about 3 to 3 1/5 hrs for a round of golf on this cource. Lately it is taking longer.

I golfed the prior Thursday and ended up leaving after 9 holes due to the amount of time it was taking and there were again more than one group of 5 ahead.

Thiscourse has terrible staff!!

The staff either are ablivious, golf-uneducated, don't care or simply indifferent to how to manage the golf tee times!!
They start you out on no.1 and when you turn, they start people on both nines. Including fivesomes that are beginners!
We have played there four times the last two months and nothing has changed!
America Golf needs to fire all the starters and hire new ones!!!
