Spoke with the owners each time I played there, and they were always friendly, even on this most recent round when there was no hope on the horizon. What an amazing couple.

The course itself is quite challenging due to the tight fairways and fast greens. Outside of the bunkers, the course is pretty well maintained, even during the winter months. Lots of the par 5s are reachable in 2, some long challenging par 4s, and unique par 3s that are short but tough. During the winter months, they do a 10AM shotgun style play, which means all groups start on different holes and the same time. We finished in under 4.5 hours, played a decent pace throughout the round. The morning of our round there was a frost delay, and they sent a text to let us know ahead of time which was nice. We play here a few times a year, mostly in the spring/summer where it can get really hot. Playing in the spring/summer is nice here because a lot of times it's not super busy, and the course plays quick. They have a solid driving range and putting greens for practice. Overall, love playing here, never a bad time, and is always a challenging course to test your golf skills.

The front is a par 38 and the back is a par 32. Par 32, piece of cake, right? Wrong. The back is demanding and extremely narrow. You have to play smart, hit your shots, and leave your shots to green in the right place. The pro shop is rocked well enough and both Bob and Chris are excellent. The practice areas here are enough to get you ready for your round, or allow you to work on your game. The driving range is rough, but it works. There is an outside deli window that is open for most of the year that you can grab stuff at the turn at, and the bar has dogs and chips when the deli is closed. The restaurant has huge glass windows that let you lookout onto the course at dinner and the food has always been excellent. Everyone I have ever met here has been kind, personable, and easy-going. It's not a stuffy club. Come in the summer and watch kids cannon ball off the diving board. It's a great place to golf, a great place to just be, and it's definitely one of my happy places.

Castle Oaks Golf Club ended up being such a beautiful and relaxing experience. The course is…read moreincredibly well kept, peaceful, and scenic. Riding through the greens with the water views and wide open space felt like a little escape from everyday stress. One of my favorite parts was the trees throughout the property. They are absolutely beautiful and really make the entire course feel calm and established. I love places where mature trees are preserved, and Castle Oaks truly feels surrounded by nature. While exploring the grounds with my daughter, we stopped at the "Golfer's Therapist" tree. I had brought fairy items with us to decorate the space myself. The last time I visited, it looked a wee bit messy and sad, so it felt really special to help add a little magic back to it and create a fairy garden for others to enjoy. The staff and overall atmosphere felt easygoing and inviting, and everything from the golf carts to the clubhouse area was clean and well organized. It's clear a lot of care goes into maintaining the property. Whether you're golfing or just enjoying time outdoors, Castle Oaks is a really lovely place to spend the day.

Located in the quaint heart of Twain Harte, you'll find families, teens, and adults out in dates putting their way through this classic course, smiling ear to ear. During our stay we played twice. The course is on the easier side, but still a lot of fun. As someone who doesn't golf regularly, I enjoyed being able to park or better on most holes and found that added to the experience a lot, especially playing the game with children because it was easier to show and teach them. My 5 year old had a blast and proclaimed he was a pro after two holes. The obstacles are old school and largely analog, which adds to the vibe. The course is nestled in some trees and the grounds are really well kept, which is very impressive considering this course has been around for 70 years, and everyone is respectful, and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommend!

Huge shoutout to Betsy in the clubhouse--excellent customer service, welcoming, and set the tone right from the start. The Course Very well-maintained. Fairways are clean, greens roll true, and the layout offers a great mix of challenge with a lot of water in play. Being in a residential community gives it that elevated, private-club vibe. The Round Special day for me--I shot a 70, personal record. Everything came together, and this course was the perfect setting for it. The One Issue The only downside came on hole 13. A resident yelled onto the fairway trying to enforce cart path rules mid-round. That's not something players should be dealing with while playing. If this is an area of concern, the course or HOA should consider: * Clearer signage visible from the tee box * Proper course-side enforcement instead of resident involvement Final Thoughts Outside of that moment, this is a fantastic public course that plays like a private club. I'll definitely be back. Fairways With Flavor approved
