I don't think you can play a better course for the price. Course was in great shape. A lot of undulation, so you'd better know how to hit your shots on down/up-hill lies well. Greens are smallish and tricky to read, but wasn't that fast. Really nice sand traps (some of them are really deep). Haven't played any other courses in the region, but compared to some courses I played in Florida, this seemed like a really nice course for the $.

WW was in very good condition this time around. Greens are mostly back and the fairway was in great shape. There are couple of holes that will make you scratch your head (#2, #5), but this course is mostly straight forward and fair.

Location is convenient too. I don't think many municipal courses in the middle of residential area that are better than WW and Fox Creek.

The course was in good condition. There are home around the holes, but not a huge issue in most cases. Many holes have severe dogleg + blind tee shots. Greens are not that difficult with minimal undulation.

Nice, beautiful course on a lake. Some holes have some of the most spectacular in the SE Michigan. The twilight price was great too. The course itself it GREAT and I would definitely go back.

Only knock on this course was that the staff was very unprofessional. The person at the counter, bartender lady, even the cart girl, they were all 'unfriendly' and didn't seem to know/care what they were doing. When the clubhouse counter person doesn't tell you what 9 you start with or where to go to get the cart and the bartender cannot give you correct change in 5 minutes, there's some problem. The cart girl didn't care to stop and drove by loudly when people were putting (didn't offer anything either). Maybe it was just an off day and the staff were all young students who are working part-time, but it wasn't the most pleasant experience I had at a golf course around here.

I have been dismissing Downing Farms because of the length (<5900 yds from blue tee). There were no other courses with discount tee times the other day, so I decided to give it a try. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised. The course is short, but deceptively so (similar to how Merion was). There are many short par 4's of about 300 yds or so and couple of short par 3's. That's why the overall length is shorter, but there's nothing 'EASY' about this course. The greens are pretty small and they are tricky. Fairways are not the widest around and there are a couple of par 4's with good length of 420+.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back here.

It's a nice muni course at a convenient location. The layout is fair, but challenging enough I think.

This course is beautifully set up around a lake. Almost all the holes are adjacent to water which makes it a bit challenging. It's not long (~6250 from back tee), but they made it so that you cannot bomb your drive on every hole, so it doesn't feel like a shorter course at all. Greens were in good shape and had above average speed. It's not a picture perfect course, but definitely a gem for the GolfNow price I paid.

Fun course to play. Nice conditions even though this was very early in the season. Course layout is interesting, but fair I think.

We played here on Saturday night. Very quite and was not busy at all. The holes were very interesting, not real challenging, but not too boring either.

Should be good for families and anyone who wants to hone their iron game. Being 'lighted' is a BIG plus.

The greens were very stiff often times which caused roll-offs for any shots that land on the edge of the green. Not many doglegs, but enough to be interesting. Course was in good condition overall even in mid-November.
