Reviews
Great value for the price
The pace of play was a little slow, but that was because you see so many different types of golfers. This course is easy enough to make it enjoyable, but tough enough to require many different shots.
Nice laid back course!
This course was fun to play. Nothing really memorable or outstanding, just a good course with a good pace of play and friendly people. Will probably play the course again even though we live in the Baltimore area. Hey guys, get some logo balls!
Thank you for your comments and for travelling all the way from Baltimore to play Delcastle! The demand for logo balls greatly decreased for a few years but seems to be picking up. If/when we get an order we'll make sure to add a comment to this post. Just give us a call at 302.998.9505 x 4 and we'll mail you a free one.
Thanks again and we hope to see you again soon!
Cancellation policy
This review is more about cancellation policy than it is the course. The course is fine for a public golf course. I called at 7:45am this morning to cancel a 7:30am tee time for a foursome tomorrow morning because it is probably going to rain and was told I had to be put on hold so the desk clerk could ask the pro if they were going to charge my card for a foursome since my call was inside the 24 hour grace period. Really? This is a Billy Casper ran golf course and someone within the organization needs to revisit that policy. They don't have to worry about me, I am done with them.
Thank you for your comments! We would never charge a cancellation fee due to weather. A cancellation policy has become standard practice among many courses and businesses. Sorry that you don't agree with it.
Happy Golfing!
Ok course
Overpriced at regular rate and usually a 4 1/2 to 5 hour round with no rangers to speed it up.
Cold day of golf at Delcastle
Golfed with my son, who is new to golf, and visitor from New Zealand. Very cold day but not many people on the course which was nice. Some greens in pretty rough shape and lots of downed tree limbs from recent storm that should have been removed 1 week ago. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
early in the season
reasonable course cost wise, many down tree branches, needs some work
Great place to play
I love this course because it's as easy or as hard as you make it. It's in great shape, very forgiving when the driver gets a little wild and the greens are pretty good for February.
Thank you for the comments! Hope to see you again at Delcastle in 2017!
Delcastle in Good condition
Played on Dec 13 2016 and course was in good condition. Great value for the area
Thank you for your comments! Hope to see you at Delcastle in 2017!
Longest round ever
It took us 3 hours to play the front nine bc a group in front of us had 2 carts for 3 guys and a girl not playing, 3 people playing with 2 sets with both sets on one cart, we called the clubhouse for a ranger and he did not do anything until the turn. We left after 14 holes and 4.5 hours because we did not sign up for a 6 Monday round. Coursw isn't bad, some decent greens while others we littered with crab grass. Good value but the bunching made for a long day. They need to space out tee times and have a ranger to help pace of play.
Dump
Course conditions were terrible. Fairways burned up, greens burned up. pace of play
WOW,, HOT DAY
This is a nice " close to home " course in the area. Its just enough all the way around flat fairways then to elevation changes trees will really get in your way if you don't stay in the short grass. bunkers in good shape, as well as the greens. I played last Sunday and it was SWELTERING, I think my eyeballs where sweating ! Hats off and all my respect to a gentleman named Ralph who walked this course I'm 52 yrs old he had to be at least 67 I did not ask I'm just guessing.
I shot a 90 I like this course
I like the courset
I like the course , but the pace of play was bad they let 3 teenagers and 1 adult play we thought the ranger should have push there paceI like the course ,
Great value
This course is player friendly for all levels of ability. I played around 2pm and there was no one in front of us so we were round in 3hrs and 15 mins. The course is in good condition and has great variety
A couple of holes stand out more than others at both ends of the scale but all in all its a very nice course. The staffected are always there to help and always smile and make you feel welcome. Definitely my first choice local course.
Thank you for your great review! We take pride in delivering a Fun and Enjoyable experience to every guest.
We hope to see you at Delcastle again in the future!
Public course, slow round
Hadn't played this course for a few years. Has an interesting layout with hills, near to my house and booked it for some practice. Played in a twosome with another single, also a fast player, and round took almost 5 hours. Much too long, especially for a weekday.
Course does not beat you up!
Challenging holes mixed with easy holes. Nothing spectacular but it is a nice easy round of golf. You start with a dozen golf balls, you go home with 10.
Thank you for your comments! We hope to see you again soon at Delcastle! Happy Golfing!
Not the best
This course isn't very fun. Not well maintained and the staff is always late.
The best part about the course is it actually one of the longest courses around.
Other than that, there are other courses that are better kept for the same price.
I do not plan on returning.
Thank you for your comments! We noticed that it says you played on 5/1/16 but that was a wash out due to rain and we didn't have anyone play that day. Could you confirm your actual date of play? Our staff is always in 25 minutes before the first tee time. If you could confirm you date of play and tee time we'd love to research your claim further.
Thanks again for your comments. Happy golfing!
Better
I played this course a few times last year and it is in better all around condition this year. They still aren't done all of their construction so there's a little distraction but the greens are in awesome shape and the course overall is looking and playing better than last year.
Thank you for your comments and for playing Delcastle! The golf course is in GREAT shape right now! We look forward to seeing you again soon. Happy Golfing!
Thank you for your comments! Yes, we like to think of Delcastle as the melting pot of golfers because, as you perfectly stated, the course can play as easy or hard as you want it.
Thanks again and we hope to see you again soon!
