Can we take a moment to appreciate these amazing new golf carts? As a curvy girl, the plush seats alone have me coming back just for the ride! Delcastle is truly a hidden gem for so many reasons. It’s an excellent course for beginners and those working on their course management skills—challenging enough to keep things interesting but not overwhelming. The staff is always welcoming, and I’ve never had any issues. While the pace of play can get a little hectic at times (as it does everywhere), they do a great job addressing any concerns. One of my favorite things is playing in the afternoon an…

What a treat to play this course! Amazing layout with very little water to worry about but that doesn't take away any challenge for any skill level. This track was in great shape I definitely recommend playing a round here.

For a first timer, this course is great. Wasn't crowded, so was able to take my time and not feel pressured to hurry. I'm sure it's busier at different times, but Tuesday AM was perfect. Cart paths could use some attention, but for the price we paid, I get it. Also saw the largest wild snake I've ever seen climbing a tree.

We walk here every day with the dogs on the walking path, and sometimes enjoy a meal and cocktail 🍸 at the pub to watch the sunset. It's beautiful there!

Very high handicap friendly. Very wide fairways, not much to get in trouble. You can get out the driver often and don't have to club down due to constant lateral hazards like some courses. Staff is very accommodating. If your 4th cancels last minute they'll cut you a refund and they really go out of their way to help you out if you're running behind. Considering its a public course with an economical green fee, its in very good shape. It's my go to course and I highly recommend.

Course was mediocre, fairways are on top of eachother, the starters don’t know what they are doing showed up for a tee time and they pushed us back and made us play with another twosome instead of the single we were paired with and sent another twosome in our place who we waited on all day and I could get over allllll that (didn’t I mention there’s no difference between the fairways the rough and the greens and the tee boxes look like a toddler is taking care of them) but I could get over alllllll that if the drinks weren’t astronomically priced. For example Odessa national down state is in 10…

Tee times too close together. ALWAYS a wait there no matter what time you play. Schedule tee times a few extra minutes in between. Perry sure I speak for everyone.

It's still golfing. I wish it was able to be kept in better shape over the years. Many trees and bunkers have been removed in favor of faster play and cheaper upkeep. Better that than close it and put up houses like so many others in the area. There are still a few fun holes to play. 6&9 on the front are good par 3's. All the par 5's are reachable so there's always an outside chance at an eagle on your day. I can be talked into going here for the nostalgia alone but it would have to be at the right time of day or pace of play becomes an issue

First time, single walk-in without tee time. Starter (John) was very helpful and worked me right into a group starting in a few minutes. Nice course layout, forgiving rough, cut short; open off most tees, good greens despite the overall dry conditions. Barely got 18 in before dark and several groups including us were late returning carts. I felt bad to be late but staff was very accommodating. The pro shop and clubhouse looked nice, wish I had more time to hang out. Will definitely return.

Just want to say i’ve been coming here for 6+ years, and while in the past it’s had its ups and downs, today we played and they made many upgrades, to the tee boxes feeling brand new, and releveled and seeded certain areas in need, and even replaced the fence between 7-8, it was a great time and genuinely impressed with the improvements made. Cart girl came around many of times, more than i’ve had in the past, which is always appreciated.

Great place for a public course. Fairly well maintained. Slower pace of play. Good layout and fun. People are nice and friendly. But, the most outstanding thing about this course is a funky sewer smell as soon as you approach the club house. Probably will not go back.
