I like to walk

Always a pleasure to play an Ed Ault design. Course was in great shape. What is it with people not fixing pitch marks, have some respect for the game. Love Delcastle.

Pace of play and tee time issues

2 people took over 4 hours due too pace of play even with playing ahead of some. Marshall never comes around to adhere to pace of play issues. Tee times too close together to squeeze as many people as can.

Just right

I was very happy with this course. It was challenging and had really cool traps and obstacles that made it exciting. The greens were in good shape.

Always a favorite.

DelCastle has always been a favorite local course.It's not an overly difficult course, but each hole has its own challenges. My only negative thought was that the green were a little beat up by golfers not repairing ball marks.

Good place to spend a day enjoying the game.

The course was in good shape. Forgiving fairways. Friendly staff and a good pub/ pro shop with everything you need. (Twisted Iron Beer on tap was an unexpected bonus.)

I will be back.

Great Value

Greens were in GREAT shape, tee boxes could use some improvement. Fairways were in good condition, bunkers had soft sand. All this considered, the value cannot be beat.
