Downingtown Country Club

Undulating greens are the course's best protection of par. Conditions were excellent and most fairways were generous. Pace of play was not an issue. Only quirk is you play 11 holes before the snack bar and restrooms.

Some tight fairways. Overall conditions were very good. Played midweek and the pace was crisp at 3.5 hours. Lots of bunkers everywhere that were well groomed. Back 9 has water come into play on many of the holes. Would play again with a Golf Now Discount.

Good old Fazio (supposedly?) design. It feels like a country club from the early 60's because, well, it's a country club from the early 60's. Decent mix of holes (some short some long) with good variety in shape. Greensites are neat, well protected and a good variety. Fairways are soggy in some spots and really dry in others, but perfectly playable and decent relative to the average peer course.

Cons: It's both overgrown and over-trimmed - trees are crowding in from off the field of play and taking out half of the fairway (and greens), meaning you have to take some pretty wild lines and/or hit stuff really low to touch the entire golf course. As a result, fairways are dying out on the sides and greens are prone to fungus because they're just not getting enough air. But, it's also been Jaworski'd (where he mows ANY trouble areas/fescue down to nothing) making some holes play way, way too easy. 7th + 8th hole literally have no trouble anywhere, think there used to be a big patch of fescue between them which is now just boring empty rough. Makes play faster, makes golf a little worse. The routing is weird (why does the 2nd hole head directly back to the clubhouse) - suspect it was shifted around at some point. They also make you drive carts in the rough instead of fairways which is... odd. Matted the rough down so lies were either easy, or buried.

Personally think it's overpriced by a little, but not a ton. Worth a play if you're around.

Played on a weekday afternoon and course was in great shape. Good lies all over including traps. Some heavy rough due to recent rains and only minor cart restrictions on some holes. There was a beverage cart which we supported. Overall great day and no complaints.

The course is in good shape. Carts are upgraded and include Bluetooth speaker and ball washer! Greens were well maintained. Staff very friendly - plenty of food and drink available. A nice day indeed !

I’ve played DCC many times over the years, even back when it was a run down dirt track. I’ve always enjoyed the layout and it’s easy enough to walk (although they charge for a cart these days regardless if you ride or not). And for the past decade or so the course has been well maintained. The only negative is the price feels steep for what it is outside of the Golf Now discount. I will go back when GN makes it available.

Nice, easy course to play. Long day of walking when carts were removed after rain. Would of liked to see option for carts and guidelines to stay on cart paths vs. needing to walk whole course.

I enjoy playing pilgrim's Oak but yesterday's course setup was like the US Open. We played from the Whites and most tee boxes were just ahead of the championship tees. Several pin positions were extremely extremely difficult like 11 and 16

Ive played Downingtown for years. Unfortunately the night before my round, we had a small storm come through. Now if you don't know, Dtown never has "cart path only" its "walking only". So I knew that going in but its still a little ridiculous that you can't ride a cart and walk to your ball. What really got to me was that at 4 pm there was a members league, so the course allowed the members to have carts but not us regular joes, pretty inclusive spot eh?

That being said, my round was in the afternoon and the place was practically empty (because of the known fact its walking only if theres a sprinkle of rain) so pace of play was great. The fairways and greens were in good shape, the rough was short and well maintained.

The Guy looked like a bad Santa at carts where U areive was Not too friendly All the other empkyees were Very Nice ! I thought the greens could of been in better shape .Recommended Blue Moon beer

Course was well maintained and the greens were heathy. Love this place... even though I didn’t play well had a great time

the pace of play was awesome,,,the staff was great,,,the fairways, tee boxes were in good shape,,the cart path on some holes could use a little work, but overall this was a good course..
