Downing is the course I have played most, being it's location is very close to home.
This course is very convenient, almost never have I encountered a day where I couldn't book a tee time short notice.

The rates are very fair, many times you can get a "hot deal" available for this course. That being said, you get what you pay for, so dont expect to show up to a particularly well kept course. For beginner golfers like myself, this course is great and should be taken advantage of by anyone who lives in the area.

This is by no means the easiest course around, you will encounter many trees and heavily wooded areas on both sides of fairways. This course has many holes that force you to make decisions regarding course management. The bunkers are "free drop" due to their lack of quality, there has been signs claiming they are under repair, but have been up all year with no sign of urgency to make them better. Decent amount of water hazards come into play.

Overall, this is a great course if your short on cash and want to play a real course that offers par 4 and 5's rather than going to play a par 3 course. No where near a favorite of mine, but I know I will play here many times before this season ends.

I've played here 4 times already this year, and would go at any given opportunity. The course atmosphere has been relaxing as well as welcoming staff.
Course layout makes for some pretty fun, interesting holes. Holes with water hazards are tough a lot of the time leaving you to decide on risk/reward options.
All in all this course is great for the price ($32 for 2 people), plays long, scenic, somewhat forgiving for a determined beginner, challenging for experienced golfers.
I'll continue to play here for a long, long time.
In my opinion it's a must play if you live in southeast Michigan, you wont be disappointed!
