Continues to improve

We have been playing Downing Farms for a number of years. Every year the course continues to improve. The fairways and greens are very good, but the tee boxes continue to need some work. Some of the holes can be challenging with sloping greens. We find it a fun course to play; and it has become one of our favorites.

Good Course for the Traveler

This course was a nice course to play as we traveled through the area, not too easy not too hard. Staff was nice. Pace of Play was slow but a local we talked to said he plays the course on a regular basis and never saw it as backed up; must have been a fluke.

Just Didn't Enjoy It

It is very early in the season and maybe they prep courses differently in Tennessee than they do in Michigan. But, I didn't like the layout and a majority of the holes.

One of our favorite places to play

The staff are very nice people. Pace of play flucuates depending on time and day. Today was great on the back nine. Layout may be confusing the first couple times it's played, but easy once it is figured out. Just plain fun to play.

I'd play it again

Layout is a little confusing. Markers at the tee boxes are very informative for distances. The condition of the course was fine. Staff in the pro shop were friendly and professional. We did not see the beverage cart until the end of the round.

Challenging First Time

This was a challenging course for first time play. Most fairways were narrow, lots of trees. Tee boxes were a little rough, greens were good.

Improving all the Time

We play this course a few times a season. We see it steadily improving. It has been hot for the last week so they have probably been watering more, however that does create some standing water or mushy sections. But, again, improvements are obvious. Nicely maintained fairways and greens.

Not their fault course was mucky

Had to stay on cart path because the course was pretty mucky from previous day's rain, so we did do a lot of walking.
We will attempt to play this course again after it has a chance to dry out, as we believe it could make quite the difference in how the game plays.We were told it could be a week or so to dry.
Looking forward to playing the Texas greens again as they are so different from other parts of the country.

Would play again

If you want a meticulous course for a serious round of golf this is not it. But if you enjoy getting out for a casual round of golf, taking on a few challenging holes, and just relaxing and enjoying yourself on a nice day this course satisfies.

Enjoyed this course

This course was nicely laid out. The greens all seemed to be sloped which is definitely a challenge, as are the trees. But, other than the windy conditions affecting the flight of the ball, the day was perfect for this course, which is, for the most part, well maintained. Other than buying a beer, we did not use any of the other amenities offered. Will certainly golf this course again.

Laid Back Course

We have golfed this course more than once and are noticing improvements as the season progresses. Sand traps should either be fixed or filled in. The course layout is confusing and could use directional signage (or better signage) to next hole.
This course has a bar and a nice room to sit and eat standard bar food.
We would not hesitate to continue golfing here.

Thanks for the 4-star review u215570397! Glad you are seeing the improvements because we are working on it. Improved signage on the course is on the list of todos. We do have a course map on the back of every scorecard, hope this helps for next time. Thanks for playing and we hope you return soon.
