A big hitters dream course.

I’m not a big hitter but I’m prone to get a little erratic off the tee by that is ok at Delcastle. The wide open and scenic course is great fun. Bring the big dog and let him eat as you have several great chances at birdies with big drives. The course has never been in better shape that I can remember and all the greens except 18 are in fantastic shape as well. Hardly any water except to the left fairway on 10 And only the most mis hit of slices can get you in trouble in a downhill par 3 on hole 9. Starters and staff are courteous and friendly. The driving range across the street and the chipping green behind the clubhouse are tops too. Love playing here when I need to give my game a confidence boost.

Not a ball eater...

This course favors big hitters as you will appreciate its wide open fairways that allow you to grip it and rip it off the tee. It also is very well maintained so if you do have a miss you won’t be spending time searching for your ball. The greens are in tremendous shape with the exception of 18 which is a bit rough. Clubhouse staff /starters are very friendly.

Course condition and pace of play is good. But all putting green need some work to do. Bumpy, slow and air blow for seeds and dirt

Delcastle

Staff was friendly and inviting. Course layout was good and forgiving. Only issue that day was the pace of play. Was just me and a friend and we waited a lot after the 6th hole. Otherwise I’d come again and play. Didn’t loose a single ball.

My go-to course this year

Played here a bunch of times this year and it’s withstood the harsh summer and high volumes this season. Still in great shape, and much better than what I originally played on a few years ago. And for a $30 hot deal, can’t beat it. Course isn’t that difficult and greens don’t roll really true, ball line stays pretty straight regardless of the break looks like. But I’ll take the conditions and value any day.

Much improved

I probably played this course back in June and we had a lot of rain for spring so the course was ok. Played October thought the course was much improved. Green fairways and soft greens. Still need to work on the bunkers. Need sand not baseball diamond fill.

Delcastle GC is a gem

Lived in DE 5 years but played Delcastle the last 3 Sundays and loved every round. Course is in great condition and the value is enhanced by the test for a bogey golfer like me. Plan to play a few more Sundays at Delcastle this year yet.

Sunday in Sept

Course is recovering nicely after the greens were punched and seeded. Fairways in good shape, tee boxes a littler worn. The round was great, 18 holes in 3 hours. Staff as usually was great.

Delcastle - great course in great condition

Played here for the first time in the 5 years I have lived in DE. From the white tees, it was a challenge and the course was in great condition ( fairways and greens). Will definitely come back.

Overpriced.but decent course with nice greens.

Always goose gunk everywhere and pace of play is horrible. Course layout is decent and the greens are very nice. Play this course only if you have 4 1/2 to 5 1/2?hours to play a round of golf and you don’t mind spending $40 for an average course.

5 hr 10 min round on a 1:30pm Friday tee time. But hey USB chargers in new carts so at least my phone didn't die as much my enjoyment of golf during the round. Cart girl during the weekday was nice to have, many courses don't have that during the week.
