Nice course, unique layout
Play here regularly and its always in great shape. Unusual mix of holes, 6 of each par 3,4 and 5. Lots of water. Can be a bit slow sometimes but this day was fine after a slow start.Reviewer Rating

Coastal feeling parkland course
A funny course to play, with a very coastal links type feel to it for a parkland course. Plenty of undulation and some deceptive looking holes. Some of the best greens I've played on in the UK however, fast, true and very tricky!Reviewer Rating

Nice Parkland Course
Nice parkland course well laid out, the greens are so fast, be prepared for 5 hour rounds at this time. They are packing golfers in like sardines. Is it VFM no, not at ?60 pounds worth more like ?30. I know Seve designed the course, but you don't have to raise the price. There are better courses in and around the shire if you look. I would play again ,but only if the price was a lot lower.Would i recommend ,yes it is worth a round ,just to check out a champion course

A challenge
Previously unimpressed but the course is now in great condition and is maturing nicely. Don't like the gimmicky 18th and would prefer not to start with a par 3 (would be better to start on the 10th) but the rest are really interesting and varied holes.Did not play well at all and lost a lot of balls but will be back

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
