Delcastle Golf Course

Did Delcastle get rid of their grounds keeper? I played Delcastle earlier on in the year and the fairways and tee boxes were in excellent shape. Sadly to say that was not the case when I played this past weekend. I don't know whether it was a cost cutting measure but they need to address the above mentioned diffenciencies with the course. They charge a pretty good amount of money for the course to be falling apart.

The flashy website belies the poorly maintained course. Front nine is in awful condition, poor irrigation, un-manicured fairways, patches of hard dirt mixed with various states of grass, awful greens that are damaged with ball marks and poor maintenance. Cart paths are full of bumps and uneven pavement that are liabilities. Back nine is maintained better but holes are on top of each other with poorly placed tee boxes that put you in harm's way at every moment. Not worth it at $34, especially driving from S Jersey. The setting is the only redeeming quality here, trees and nature are the only inspiration. The course doesn't inspire focus or good play, it actually causes headaches.

The course is starting to get work a little which is typical for a public course this time of year. The course is long enough but it is fairly open so it is forgiving.If you get a discount it is worth playing.

This is just my opinion. Too many trees for me. I like more of a open course.

The course was very plain. It really did not leave a lot of surprises. There were a couple holes that were great with elevation changes especially number nine. However about 75% of the holes you knew what was happening because you could see the flag from the Teebox. The greens were in great shape. Some of the sand traps could use a bit more sand. Overall the course for the value was outstanding. We teed off at 6 AM and played 18 holes in less than two hours. Finding a golf course for each player for $30 to play 18 holes on Sunday morning when looking Saturday was a great experience.

My wife and I were in back of a foursome of guys who were drinking beer and playing bad golf. One man had a tee shirt and cutoff jean shorts and playing in bare feet. 2 holes they ran their cart in our fairway when we were hitting our shots. When I said something to them they wanted to fight me and cursed at my wife and I. Also on the last hole they took my wife ball. When we finished are round 5 in half hours later they were in the parking lot and wanted to fight me.

I have spent a lot of time at the Del Castle driving range over the past year or two. I love the facilities there, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The staff is a reflection there at the golf course as well. However, when I drive up the road towards the driving range, there are always many lined up carts at the first tee. I'm not sure how they book their tee-times, but it probably isn't very well done.

Overall, the quality of golfers I saw on the course were pretty poor. Pace of play could have been much worse. Luckily, we were allowed to pass through a couple of groups.

Bang for your buck on this course is non-existent. I payed $29 through the GolfNow app. I probably shouldn't have paid more than $20.

However, the course is a great place for beginners to play. Short holes, slow greens, good beer specials.

Got there bright and early for 7:37am tee time to find out they were booking every 4 min! There were about a dozen carts lined up waiting to tee off. First they told us 15 min behind. That went to 30 min. Starter wasn't even keeping us lined up by tee time. We worked it out amongst ourselves. Finally went off 45 min late then we were in hurry up and wait mode through the whole front nine. Back wasn't as bad because people dropped off. Why would you do that Delcastle?? Overall, still glad to be out playing but not nearly as enjoyable as it should have been!!

Course is in great shape. With all the tain weve had the rough was pretty high and tough to spot your ball. Greens were in pretty good shape, though people forget to fix their divots.

First time I've played here since last Labor Day; the course is in better shape than it has been in a long time, particularly the greens. Pace was a bit slow mainly due to a senior women's golf outing. Otherwise from top to bottom the course is a great value for what I paid ($32).

Interesting layout. Fairways and greens were in good condition. A better value than other courses in the area. Will definitely play here again.

Golf course is good for all levels. Green in good condition.

We had a great day. Course was difficult but playable. Lots of hills and blind shots.

Course is average for tee shape and fairways.
Many geese on course causing some inconvenience on some holes
Overall it is in good shape.

It was my first time at Delcastle . I was greeted warmly , and was playing within minutes after paying and getting settled . The tee boxes were in great shape . The fairways were well cut , but it was tough at times distinguishing between the rough and fairway , no big deal as it did not have a major impact on the rating . The greens were groomed well and got true rolls on my putts . The long Par 5's were challenging with the hilly nature of the course . i would go back and play anytime . It was a great course for the value !

Well maintained, moderate difficulty. Makes for an enjoyable afternoon. The only negative was that the rough next to the fairway was a bit long and we spent 5-10 minutes on several holes looking for our ball even after seeing where it went.

Played this course in the beginning and middle of the year and it was in good condition. Fairways were nice as were the greens! The fairway is hard to tell where it ends and the rough starts! Overall and great course that is nice and wide open. A few difficult holes but mostly they are fairly straight forward!

This course has the potential to be a great course but the fairways on this course are terrible and at different holes the fairway blends in with the rough. The greens are very slow and are very sticky, which I dont like. If this course got the needed attention it deserves it could be a great course but because of the two things I mentioned earlier I will not be playing this course again.

The greens were in decent shape, but most of the fairways were either hard to identify when compared to the rough or they were completely dirt with little to no grass. Also a lot of "environmental areas" that looked more like they just didn't feel like taking care of that portion of the course.

I would not pay regular prices to play here on a weekend. The greens were shaggy and full of holes. Extremely hard to putt. The fairways were in fairly decent shape but the greens were so bad that it was difficult to finish some holes. $20 for the twilight rate is pretty good, and for that money you can't really complain about the conditions but I couldn't recommend spending a Saturday out here.
