Great course

I played alone and early. No one in front of me so the pace was great. Course was in great condition. I’ve played here many times, I love it.

Nice course

It was a great day for golf. Thought the greens could have been rolled a bit more. I’ll be back at some point

Good course for the money

Played on Friday afternoon.

It was very slow play. But for a spring round, the course was in pretty good shape.

Unappealing game, great staff.

On-site staff was great and accommodating. The amenities and course conditions(even for early season) were absolutely horrendous. Course has seen MUCH better days.

I love Delcastle

Always a pleasure to play Delcastle. Course was in good condition. Looks like there doing some tree work. Ed Ault did a nice job on this one. Staff was friendly and efficient. This piece of property is a nice walk. If you've never played this course your missing out. Go play it!

It’s What I Expected

Pro shop staff were nice. Starter was an ***hole, not my first run in with him either. This guy leaves a very poor first impression. Course was in okay condition for most of it, tee boxes showing a lot of wear and tear. Greens were pretty solid and fairly quick for this time of the year.

Winter Conditions

Even after rain the night before the course was dry for the most part. Greens as fast as they are in the summer. Highly recommend.

Covered greens

The course is a bit pricey for me. I wish they had someone go and blow the greens off. Too many were covered with leaves and debris. It was a windy day but I feel something could have been done.
