After a very dry spring the tee boxes, fairways and greens are in good shape. Greens are fast and make up for the wide open course.
Delcastle is always a good course for the money.

Poorly maintained course

With weeds in the bunkers, fairways that are more like the rough and the rough that is so badly groomed I’m not sure why you’d ever want to play here for the price. I’d rather go to Clayton park. The greens were SLOW. Don’t waste your time or money here.

Horrible conditions

Super overpriced, greens and fairways were harder than rock, bunkers were full of weeds, rough was super thin. Don’t waste your time or money here. Greens were super slow.

Great open course

I’m a relatively new golfer, so this course is great because it has a good amount of open holes. Though it’s open it still has challenging layouts that have nice shapes and elevations throughout the course. Great value for the price of a round! I come here frequently.
