Golf Advisor: Top Courses in Delaware (2023 #10)
Reviews
Better side of municipal golf
Course in fair condition for the time of year. Greens were better than average. Price seemed a bit high for this time of year. Pace was ok but can be horribly slow on weekends.
Good Course
It had rained the previous 3 days before we played and it was not super wet. good overall course if you are a beginner.
Awesome staff
Took advantage of a 55 degree late November day. The course was in very good shape and the greens were rolling nicely! They did a great job keeping the leaves “out of play”.
The staff was extremely friendly, starting in the Pro Shop, to the Starter, and the young men who took the carts at the end of the round. I teed of at 1:12 pm and got 18 holes in. It was dark when were finishing, the staff came out and saw us approaching the 18th green. They didn’t say a word, just turned back to the cart return area and let us finish the hole. Even when we came in there were no sighs or comments about being after dark. They graciously helped unhook my bag and thanked me for coming out. Great customer service and interaction! I will be back!!!
Great value
Had a frost delay, but to be expected this time of year. Not a problem with pace of play. Course was in great shape. Course lay out was challenging but not to difficult. Pace of play was very good. Greens are very challenging and tough pin placement. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Thanks for your thoughtful review, Kev! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the course and found the pace of play to be smooth. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon!
Lackluster Course
Boring, mundane course. Tee boxes were hideous. Vast areas of the fairways were patchy or lousy grass. Some bunkers need major overhaul. Very few interesting holes. Won't be going back.
Good course for the price
I like two of the par 3's from the white tees. Elevation hitting down to the greens with length. Most of the par 4's & 5's are straight holes. The 18th is difficult because the tee shot is up hill, the second & third shots are down then uphill depending on your length. The green is barely visible from the fairway. Tough to hold the green unless you come in with a high shot. You will enjoy the course.

Thank you so much for your review. The par 5 18th is definitely a tough finishing hole! We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
October 17th and no leaves on the ground!
Made a tee time, then read the reviews as it's been a while since i last played there. I went with an open mind and must say I did enjoy the snot out of the course. I think some folks forget that these courses are public and not private and welcome all types of golfers even duffers like me. I'll be back hopefully soon..

Thanks for sharing your experience, Brothermike! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the course and appreciate your open-mindedness. We strive to create an inclusive environment for all golfers. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon for another great round!
Great shape considering it hasn't rained in weeks
I've played this course for over 2 decades. After they redid the irrigation it's been in better condition than ever. The greens this round were faster than usual and not rolling very true. Other than that, love the course as always!

Thanks for your feedback, u2660957! We're thrilled to hear you’ve enjoyed the course for so long and appreciate your thoughts on the greens. We’re always working to improve, and your insights help us enhance the experience. Looking forward to seeing you on the course again soon!
Course has improved
Been a few years since I last played at Delcastle. The condition of the course was much better than when I last played it.

Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you noticed the improvements at Delcastle. Our team works hard to maintain the course, and your feedback means a lot. We hope to see you back on the greens soon!
Delcastle decline
I have played Delcastle many, many times. I do not recall the course being in worse condition than it presently is. The Senior tees are awful, the greens are slow and bumpy, and the fairways don’t have a lot of grass.
LOVE THE NEW GOLF CARTS
Just got new golf carts - smooth ride and super comfortable seats. Staff is always accomodating and friendly and always enjoy the people my father and I get paired up with. People who play here are down to earth, good people out for a fun round - no over the top golf extremists here!

Thanks for the fantastic review! We're thrilled you and your father enjoyed the new golf carts and had a great experience with our staff and fellow golfers. It’s wonderful to hear you appreciate the friendly atmosphere we strive to create. Looking forward to seeing you both on the course again!
Bombs Away!
My drive is only 200-220 yards at the most so many of the holes here are just out of my range to make greens in regulation. I feel like I just hit driver then 3 wood all day. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the challenge once in a while. Most fairways are very wide and forgiving however they are not in the best shape. A lot of bare spots and mud and I noticed many old fairway bunkers from my app are now non-existent. Just let them grow over for whatever reason. Pretty much just flat and bombs away on most holes. A couple doglegs and a challenging par 3 here and there. After hammering the driver all day, the 18th par 5 is a fitting finish to the round. You’ll see what I mean when you see it. I’ll be back again next year

Thanks for the detailed feedback, Tom! We're glad you enjoyed the challenge and the forgiving fairways. We appreciate your notes on course conditions and will address those concerns. Looking forward to seeing you again next year for another round!
Thanks for the great feedback, William! We're thrilled you enjoyed your round and appreciated our team's efforts. It’s fantastic to hear that the course and service exceeded your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back for more enjoyable rounds in the future!
