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.

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.

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.

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.
