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.

GREAT Muni Course for Price

For what you are paying for, it s a great value. I have been to other courses in the area that charge more but are in lesser shape than this course,

I’m not giving this course 5 stars because it’s the highest quality course in the area, but for a public municipal course, it’s a solid price without feeling like you are being gouged, not something I can say about other courses in the immediate or extended area….

Return visit to Delcastle

Recommend sand/seed bottles on carts so players might be tempted to repair divots. Fairways are rough enough with the bare ground!

Staff,especially the chief cook/bottle washer and waitress, were very accommodating.

For the money, it’s worth it.

For the money, it’s worth it. Different types of shots and lengths and elevation changes on some holes. Nice area, easy access to main roads.
It’s public, the maintenance isn’t perfect but it’s good enough and fun.
