Love this course because; 1. it's a good course for a good price and 2. they are ALWAYS open. People I know have played it in January! And this is upstate New York! They are the 1st to open in the spring and the last to close in the fall. Also, they try to be amenable to average golfers. For example, on Father's Day my son and I were playing. We had already sat out a 45 minute rain delay. Now we are at the 18th tee and a thunderstorm was approaching. We would have had time to finish but were held up by a SIXSOME! We just teed off when the sky opened up and washed us out. Two weeks later, we went back and explained what had happened and asked if we could replay the 18th after our round. He was very nice and said no problem and was disturbed to hear that a sixsome was on his course and asked me to please let him know if I saw that situation again. I have had a similar sitation happen before at a different course and the owner was too stingy to let us play the extra hole. I appreciate their attitude at Casolwood.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
