Interesting course
Rather an unconventional course. The mix of 6 par 3's 4's and 5's makes it interesting but not something I would repeat. Not a great course design. The 18th is a hopeless hole. Very pretty and I am sure a challenge for the pros but for club golfers no good. The obsession with Ballesteros wears you down.Reviewer Rating

One to visit
Beautifully presented course throughout.The staff are very caring and make you feel very welcome.
The Practice areas are also worth a visit, even the 9 hole academy course is too worth a visit.

What a layout....
Second time I've played here and yet again I was in awe ofhow good a test of golf this is and how great the holes are. As you?d
expect from a Severiano Ballesteros design you are thinking from tee until
the ball drops on each hole. 6 each of par 3s 4s and 5s also makes this a unique experience. What is evident is the design of the holes has a let
of the great mans favourite holes and courses....
A truly wonderful experience that was only tarnished slightly by the greens maintenance taking place even tho the greens still ran true and fast...the main disappointment was having to play the signature ?S? 18th hole to a temporary green that 30 mins later was back on the main green....
Still a great experience and one is like to partake in again.

Hard golf
This course is an exceptional course extremely hard and water at every turn, you may need to bring a few extra balls, all in all though a score in the 80s round here is good golf.(Round played: Jul 2019 - Score: 99 Handicap: 0)

nice course hidden gem, some tricky water. Little short of the yellows. I would recommend this for intermediate golfers.

Good but Penal
I play Castle Point as it is close to my house and reasonably easy to get on. If it is busy they are happy for you to go off the 10th as long as your don't interfere with those coming round.The course is generally in good condition and has improved greatly over the last few years however I do feel that the rough is too penal especially for the standard of person playing the course. You do not have to stray too far off line and it is very difficult/almost impossible to find your ball
The course is very much affected by the wind, especially the back 9 where you have 4 out, 1 across and 4 in. Dependent on which way the wind is blowing and how strong makes it a very different course
