Downing Farms Golf Course

Morning dew is not removed from greens. No sand in sand traps. Tee boxes are in rough shape

I want to start this review by saying, this golf course is fun! For the value, you can't ask for much more. Each hole presents its own challenge without having anything too challenging. There are a couple holes you need to play smarter, like the par 3 on hole 15, where you are on an elevated tee box and if you hit it too long, your ball is rolling into or finding water. The fairways and greens were well kept, and this was at the end of March, so I didn't expect a lot but was pleasantly surprised. Staff was friendly, has a chipping and putting practice area. Not a lot to the club house, I believe just basic food and drink if you want, but we didn't stop at the turn this time around. I only have one complaint, on the 8th hole, if you are playing the whites or blues, you have to tee off a "fake" tee box that is built on a wooden platform. There is like a turf that you can sort of stick a short tee into, but it does limit how you can tee off on that hole. It is a Par 4, and I would have liked to hit a driver but I couldn't get a tee to the right high on that turf. I recommend this course as it is a fun time and promotes you to play smarter, not harder.

Nice course, will continue playing here as I have been for the last 7 years. But they NEED to fix the holes around the cart paths on many holes. The same holes have been there for 7 years and it’s such an easy fix. Same for the holes in the cart path, they need gravel shoveled in throughout. Sounds like an easy job to spread out over the course of a season and I’m bewildered as to why it’s never been done

I did not go. I was not able to because of work. I tried to cancel on GolfNow but it would not allow me to. Then I tried to call the golf course and the phone call went to voicemail and said that their voicemail box was full. Very disappointed.

Decent course but I’m frustrated with how my booking went. Got a “Hot Deal” on GolfNow. We paid $15.99 for 18 holes and carts to be included. When we got there they made us pay for carts and only let us play 9 holes. I would have booked somewhere else if I knew they weren’t going to honor our booking. Now sure of this is a Golf Now issue or course issue

Interesting albeit short course. Nice topography and nicely off the beaten path. Will definitely be back!

The course is very affordable, so don't be disappointed that there is no fancy clubhouse or nice tee markers at each hole, etc. The carts are old, no windshields or USB port. . The bunkers are all grass. The course (fairways, greens, rough) was in great condition. It is not the hardest course you'll play, which is what I was looking for with a novice golfer joining me. All in all a great value.

The course had a really cool layout. Wasn’t the easiest of courses, wish there was more sand traps to make it that much harder. You can really tell where they placed the sand, but with that being said the greens and fairways made up for it!! The staff was ok didn’t seem to happy especially with the Lions winning on a Sunday afternoon. But it was a good time! Would go again if it was a little cheaper.

Don’t waste your time on this cow pasture, it’s a very bad course and is always backed up. I won’t play there anymore. Just bad
Tee box is a platform

It was backed up for the entire round, when I told the staff all they said was yes it is.
When the cut the grass they left glimpses of grass everywhere. Cart path is very bad, it will bounce you all over the place. There are trenches from there equipment on every hole.
Don’t get sucked in by the price it’s not worth. And they have a tee box on a platform of wood.

Ok course , they filled in the sand traps, so plays fast

Nice course, off the beaten path, but worth the trip!

This course was in great condition today, I'm glad I came out. There greens were fast and true, my lag putts stopped right next to the hole. My driving has improved, so it made playing three course a lot easier. I would love to play on a league here. The course layout where I play now is terrible. Downing Farms is a great place to improve your overall golf game.
