This was a really nice course. Fairways are in great shape and so are the greens. If we lived in the area, we’d play here regularly!

Delcastle has improved since the last time I played it. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Overall we had a good 4 hour round.

Not well kept

Course was very dry. Sprinklers went off middle of the round and got in the way. There were a lot of dead spots on the fairway.

Great staff

Staff was great, especially the starter Jim. Greens were great, fairways a little burned out, but playable. Course layout was good. Pace of play terrible, but it’s a public course. Rangers did a good job of getting players going.

Average Course

Great for golfers just starting out.

Nothing special here, they did put some work back in the course so it is getting better.

Straightforward golf, many holes will feel the same.

I live about a mile from this course, I like playing it with my buddies who don't get out as much.

The starters have been preaching pace of play, but have only recently been enforcing. Pretty slow round of golf on the weekends.

Greens are pretty slow, flat, but roll true.

Average course, for a little above average greens fees, but you will see the course is trending in the right direction but still needs work in spots.

I would recommend playing this course to a intermediate to beginner. A expert or low handicap might find this course very boring, it doesn't make you think.

Not much changed in 2 months

Previous review pointed out the need for work on bunkers. I saw very little improvement. Course is fairly open and very playable. Greens ran slow all day in 90 degree sun and heat. Wouldn’t pay much more then the hot deal price of $34.

Hi Andrew, thank you for your review. We are continuing to evaluate ways to improve bunker play and hope to make them more amenable in the future. The greens may have been slow due to rain around that time or our staff protecting the greens from extreme heat over the summer with more water. If you have any other comments or concerns, please email us at info@delcastlegc.com. Have a great day!

Sunday play

We played Sunday. We have reduced our use of this course because it can be really slow on weekends. It is well maintained and the staff friendly. Today there was nobody in front of us, the 2 nd cut was not really high so we could find our wayward shots. Traps were muddy, but we got a lot of rain recently. The greens ran true. Had a good time out there today.

Delcastle delight

First time playing Delcastle and it was better than I had been lead to expect. Good mix of difficult and easier holes. I thought the White tee’s slope of 118 was understated. Greens were in nice shape but many greenside bunkers had some water and mud. Facilities (bathroom, bar) are old and a bit dingy but the employees were nice.

I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Great value for the $18 I paid ($28 Hot Deal less $10 rewards).

Nice public cours

The course was in pretty good shape compared to the last time I played here a couple of years ago. The fairways and greens were maintained very well. But just like the previous comments, the traps were a disaster. just mud, rocks and dirt.
