Golf Advisor: Top Courses in Delaware (2023 #10)
Reviews
Nice course to knock to winter rust off
The course was in early spring condition, which is to say, not that great. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, especially Chandler, our starter and Meaghan in the pro shop. The course has a decent layout and I can imagine the course in better shape later in the season. The sand in the traps need to be replaced, as the one time I played out of one, I felt I was on the infield at Fenway Park.
Thanks for your feedback and review. We take it seriously. The course conditions are something that we are working very hard to improve upon everyday. Hope you come back and visit us again soon.
Bunkers
Please put bunker sand in the bunkers. Rest of the course was good for early spring.
Thank you for your review. We greatly value your feedback!
Thanks for your review. We hope to see you again soon!
Rangers
The course needs a ranger and maybe a starter that doesn't bunch up the players. You can't have 8 minute starts when the players can't drive past the forward Tee's. Just saying.
Course is definitely getting better.
Greens need to be rolled. Like putting on aggregated concrete.
Thanks for your review. We appreciate your feedback and are working to improve the customer experience. Hope to see you again soon!
Too Wet!
I was prepared to walk the course since we had over a inch of rain the day before. However they did allow carts and told us to run them in the rough. Big mistake! I almost got stuck on the second hole. It would have helped the course a lot more if they had not allowed carts.
High and Dry
I played today because the temperature was going to 51, the best forecast for the week. I expected the course to be very wet after the recent rain and snow. I was pleasantly surprised that the course was fairly dry. The greens were in good shape and running pretty fast.
Great course
Played my first round here a couple years ago and it was good then, and keeps getting better. The staff are excellent and the course is in great shape, the greens are fantastic and I always enjoy playing the open easy to get around layout.
Very slow play 5 1/2 hours no rangers on course to speed play up
Nice course
Very slow play. Unnecessary. A ranger could have moved the group about 4 ahead of us along. Good daily course if they kept the golfers moving a bit quicker. Nice staff, very friendly. Greens were really slow, but with all the rain, that was to be expected
GREAT ROUND, low score of the year
great experience from check in through post round lunch. Played in less than 4 hours, course in great shape except for a couple of tee boxes and small area in front of 18th green.
First time playing Delcastle since the late 90s and it was worth the trip. Of the three Wilmington courses, Oliver and Rock Manor are the others, I enjoy the layout of Delcastle the best. The course is moderate to easy for a mid to high handicap golfer. There is room to spray the ball around without major penalty. That makes the round much less frustrating for a 23 handicap like me.
Delcastle will be back in my regular rotation of courses and I look forward getting back there ASAP
Never looked better
You notice a big change when you pull into the parking lot. Almost all ofthe trees blocking the view of the first fairway are gone! You pull in and see the course. That’s very noticeable to anyone who has played here over the years. I’ve played here off and on for 25-30 years and Can’t remember when Delcastle has looked so good. If you haven’t played Delcastle ina few years, come back and check it out. I believe you will like the changes.
Don’t be two mins late !
Don’t be 2 mins late or you can’t play, pace of play suck almost every hole foursome in front look for thief lost balls for ten mins, 6 hrs to play takes the fun out of golf don’t think I’ll be back any time soon
Alternate choice
Based on some scheduling and weather problems, we chose this course to play. Pretty crowded for a Friday afternoon, so the pace was not less than 4 hours. We were surprised by the elevations on a few of the holes.
A few good holes, our paired up duos were friendly, and it was a good course that met our needs
Sorry to hear your round was slower than you hoped. We hope you'll come back and try our course again!
Value
This course has tremendous value for the price I paid. The quality and layout are for average golfers looking for a challenge. The greens are always in good shape and the fairways almost never in bad condition. Looking forward to getting out to Delcastle again soon!
there;s good news & bad news
Solid golf course, I'd say typical 60' or 70's designed no issues with tees, fairways or greens which were better then I expected. I've played here a handful of times thru the years and as luck would have it I had to walk every time, my bad. If the ground is soggy they don't have a cart path only policy, they have a no cart allowed on the course policy as some of the paths don't extend the length of the hole . You are either hoofing it to the 1st tee or back to your car. Onward to the tee it was a pretty nice day for a walk but a tad humid.Since my best days are behind me I was looking for a bench or even a dry tree stump to sit for a minute or 10, I ended up at the 16th sitting under a tree on the wet ground hoping to get my 4th wind. Finally hit 2 decent shots on the 18th seen the hill leading up to the green pick my ball up walked to the 13th and played that in to the parking lot..I'll be back but not until we have 2 straight of weeks sunshine.
Very nice local course
The course was in good shape, we were never help up and not pushed. Was a very enjoyable round of golf.
Thanks for playing Delcastle! We're ecstatic that your round was fun and enjoyable!
S L O W
Slow play with no ranger. At one point we pulled up to the next hole and there were three groups on same hole, with us making it four! On the back nine we gave up and left. Such a shame because the course is beautiful, although the greens were in awful shape. We don't plan on returning : (
