Overbooked . . . Horrendous pace of play

Tee'd off on time, but when we got to the par 5 2nd tee box it was already backed up 2 groups. The backups continued throughout all 18 holes. The group in front of us left after 9, but even that did not stop us from hitting the group in front of them on the 10th tee. just way overbooked and seems to cater to a lot of duffers making the round unbearably slow. It's actually a pretty decent course with nice greens and fairways and some challenging par 5's, but when you have to wait 10 minutes between shots it's just no fun. skip this course unless you have no other choice or are assured no one else will be out.

decent value, understaffed, slow play

Lack of staff keeps this from being a recommended course. While super helpful and very freindly there are not enough of them at peak times. The tees where half and hour behind at 9:45 and than it was a 5 hour round. Good value off peak.

Good value, good for high handicappers

This course was in overall great shape, although everything in the area has been given the good grass growing weather. This course is fairly open, and although I wouldn't call it easy, it's definitely forgiving for high handicappers. Layout is very good, has many interesting holes. Good value compared to nearby courses. Tough closing hole if you are walking!

Rough

I enjoyed my round. People were nice. The rough needs attention. I lost multiple balls that I had no business losing. They were not too far from the fairway. Really my only complaint as the rest of the course seemed pretty well maintained.

Last resort

Played at 2:30 pm for 40 bucks. Fairways like my back yard,greens life putting on fell kro, no staff available, get your own cart {the first one i picked was dead} a few singles in front of me walking, wait on every shot. This is a 29.00 dollar course if i ever saw one. Dissapointed in Casper mngt., expected more.

Good course for a weekday

The course is in pretty good shape right now. It is the beginning of the season though, and most of the hackers haven't gotten out there yet to tear up the course. Delcastle is not perfect by any means, but the greens are in very good shape and the fairways and tee boxes are all in average shape.

My one recommendation is to not play on the weekend. It's a popular course and they usually overbook tee times so you will be waiting 5-10 minutes per hole. The level of players is usually not great so that will drag the round out further. Get out there on a weekday if you can. For the money, it's not a bad course.

Fog and frost delay affected enjoyment of round

Started 50 minutes after reserved starting time due to fog and frost. Partly due to this, play was very slow and could not finish 18 holes before darkness.

Worth playing

The T boxes needed some work and more grass. The greens and fairways were in pretty good shape. There were areas of the rough that need attention, but on the whole, it is a course worth playing. It was windy and some rain the day we played, and the staff took the day off, no beer on the turn! We felt about as welcome as four day old fish. There was no GPS on the carts, which added to yardage problems for me.
