Description

Sylvan Heights is a public-friendly course that fits the “everyday golf” profile—comfortable routing, welcoming atmosphere, and a layout that stays enjoyable across handicaps. The best scoring typically comes from steady ball-in-play decisions and good approach distance control, because greens and short-game situations often decide outcomes. It’s a strong fit for mixed groups and league play since the targets are readable and the round tends to flow in a predictable rhythm. Better players can separate themselves by tightening lines and converting putts on the scoring holes. Overall, it’s dependable New Castle golf: approachable, repeatable, and built for regular play.

Played there yesterday. Needless to say I will never be going back. The man in the clubhouse was smelly and rude. The course design is ornery and spiritless. If you come to this course expecting a challenge then you best take haste and go to any other possible course. Roller dogs were to die for however I'd give those a 9.1/10. I personally love the added touch of the dead wasps underneath the heat mechanism.

Not a lot of frills at this older course. However, it was a cheap round - only $16 using the tee time pass on a weekday. The card and hole signage show 4 sets of tees. There are only 3 actual tees with no blue tees. The course itself was in fair condition. Tee boxes were ok with some broken tees from prior days since we were the first group out. The fairways were extremely hard with more than a few bare spots from the lack of rain and likely no watering. This was a big plus on drives with roll out, but on short shots into the green you had to clip the ball very cleanly. The real defense on this 6037 yard par 72 course are the greens. The vast majority are small and surprisingly quick with a lot of movement, especially on the front 9. In addition, many of the greens were harder and you got a fair bit of bounce as well. When you play here aim just short of the green or the very front of it if you wan to hold the green on your approach shots.

Some areas are almost unplayable, $20.00 green fees, no outside alcohol. I went out on the last Sunday in September. It started out okay, but the further we played, the worse it got. It looked as if they ran a min excavator up and down the fairways. There were 10ft x 4ft chunks of rolled up sod and bare dirt. It also rained on us the whole time (not the courses fault). On the bright side, the carts were pretty nice. There are so many more nicer places within 20 minutes. Save your $20.00.
