Reviews
Delcastle Golf
Well worth the $$. Staff was courteous and accommodating. Was paired up with 2 local members both of whom were very friendly and knowledgeable
about the course. I was passing thru on my way home to NY and throughly enjoyed golfing here. Would not hesitate to play here again. Course was in very nice condition.
Army Veteran Review
The staff is extremely friendly. Beautiful course.
Thank you for your comments and more importantly thank you for your service! We truly appreciate it!
Moderatly difficult.
I enjoy this course for its speed of play and moderate difficulty.
Pace of Play
My tee time was 5:09 and I was able to get off about 4:40 PM. However, there had been an outing and the parking lot was on overflow. People were still finishing Nearly every one we encountered was a rank beginner.
The group behind us hit into us 3 times and spoke not English so we could not communicate with them.
We thought we were at the end of the putting but that turned out to be wrong. We have played Del Castle many times and this was very unusual. Some etiquette tips should be distributed to people on outings.
We did not have time to visit the 19th hole.
Thank you for your review! We truly appreciate it! We understand your frustration about pace of play. We have developed a beggining golfer guide which includes ettiquete among other helpful tips. We will be providing this to as many new golfers as we can. Thank you and we hope to see you soon!
Good condition, nice course
The weather was great and the course was in pretty good condition. The sand traps were well cared for and rough wasn't too deep. It plays pretty open, with very few narrow fairways. Good course for beginners and intermediate players.
Thank you for the great review! We hope to see you at the course soon!
Good Municiple course
The routing of the holes makes this an interesting course. There is lots of elevation on some holes which makes club selection more difficult.
Overall, its a fun course.
Thank you for the review! We are glad you had a fun time playing Delcastle and hope to see you out at the course soon!
Billy Casper's Least Value
The course, specifically the greens, have been better this year. (Great weather and no drought helps) But the greens are still slow and don't break but the faintest bit, half of the holes have rings and the course is so left so roughly manicured that the difference between rough and fairway is blurred.
By far the least value of the three "competitively priced" Billy Caspar courses in the area, but the only one that has enough length to make long hitters take a driver out of the bag if they're playing smart. Avoid if possible.
Delcastle
Enjoyed the course. I played in the fall so there were leaves in the rough that could make finding a miss hit ball harder. There is not much that can be done about that though. Overall good experience. The ranger was very friendly. I would play again
fast greens
The greens were fast and challenging and the course was in good shape I would play here again
Lets play until we can't stand it
I like Delcastle, but today, they overbooked and did not manage the course. Get out their Ranger Bob
Note to self; stay away on nice days, just not weekends
Love the hills!!!
Haven't played there in over two years....but, I remembered the course....love the hills! The weather was excellent...sunny....warm...light breeze...Beautiful autumn day for golf. Our friends from New Jersey played with us and they remembered this course, too!! The staff was very friendly. My husband and the other husband are jokesters and the staff played along with them. We will be going back b4 the end of the month.....Thank DelCastle for a perfect day!!!
Not in the best of condition
Many of the greens were either burnt out or had some kind of disease. Fairways were very spotty. You would think with the rain & mild summer the greens & fairways would be plush like the other courses in the area. But you get what you pay for. I would not pay more than the $34 green fee they charged me. Great for a practice round.
Course has fallen into really bad shape
Lets start off with it hasn't rained in 5 days but yet for some reason at 11 am you could see water flying up as you putted the ball. on the 9th hole a par 3 my ball plugged so bad only 15% of the ball was above the ground! The tee boxes we horrible and it was hard to find a clean lie in the fairways. Not to mention almost every hole was circle was torn up! this was not fun and a waist of my money. Last year it was ok. I mean not the best but still fun to go to. But now, there is no way! they need to clean up their act and their course before I go their again! (I should have taken pictures :( )

Nice course. Wish it was closer to us. Route 95 traffic was a killer.
nice course range near by
It is a nice course. Worth it to play at discounted rate. No irrigation on fairways, slated to be installed next year. Driving range is about 10 minutes away, it is not onsite.
Great Course, Poor Planning
I had a tee time for 10:37. I showed up at 10:25 to see a ton of people waiting to tee off and what looks like an event. So I go in, nobody is at the desk. Someone comes in and says they will get the person who works here. I planned on playing a relaxing game by myself, but they told me I was going to be playing with other people because an event had started at 10 that morning. So I grab my clubs, come down to the tee box and wait until 11:10 to finally tee off. 5 hours later at 4:00, we finally finish. Slow, slow day. 6 and 1/2 hours of my day to golf on this day. Course is pretty nice and taken of, but don't let a single make a tee time on a day when there is an event. If I hadn't pre paid online, I would have trusted my instincts and said forget it.
You planned to play by yourself? Maybe your private course would accommodate you, there is no public access course that sends singles off alone unless there is a monsoon or blizzard; otherwise, it is completely inefficient to have singles or two players lined up hole after hole. Single have no standing on most courses and cannot force his/her way through groups in front. Doing that might incur a few golf balls fired over your head.
This is a good course.
The course was a little soggy in places on the date we played. But other then that it was very nice. I had one of my best rounds of golf ever. I would definitely play course again. Slower play due to the guys in front of us were walking course.
Oh, please. Walkers don't hold up the course as much as cart riders. Walkers go their respective balls to hit the next shot - it's not a buddy system like riders think it should be. Riders lose clubs more often that walkers and take time to retrace their steps. There are so many more reasons why good players walk, not the least of which is the physical connection to the course being played. Rubber tires do not transfer the same feeling. I guarantee that my friends and I can play faster than any four players in carts - even four carts and still take enough time to concentrate on each shot. 3-3.5 hours tops. We've done 2hrs and 50 minutes, have you?
Very disappointed
I played in the morning and they had no one remove the dew from the greens which made them extremely slow. They were also aerated very inconsistently, some filled with sand and some not. The tee boxes were also in very poor shape. I was overall very disappointed with the conditions.
9/13
Greens were pretty bad but it's bc of the end of season. But the girl at front desk or the starter should let you know that; they are clueless
Value
Great value for the tee time and great specials in the clubhouse
