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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.
