Downingtown Country Club

Course was in great shape the only issue was it was walking only and I was not told by the staff or Golf now that it would be walking only so I did not bring straps. Made it for a very difficult round but a beautiful course.

As president of CGA, I take my responsibilities seriously when it comes to picking a golf course. I thought a Ron Jaworski course would be a good choice. Boy was I wrong! Jaws should be embarrassed at the dog track he calls his golf course. Both future members of the CGA in our foursome were equally appalled at the poor conditions. Possibly the worst course I’ve played to date and i played in over 60 last year alone in the Philadelphia area. Dare I say, worse than Stone Meadow. Hey Jaws, fix it up or sell it!

A beautiful day for February so it was a bit crowded and slow but overall fine. A few tee boxes under repair but all others in decent shape. Fairways and greens all in good condition.

The only issue this time of the year at most courses in the area including this one is it is time to fertilize so it smells like sh..

Love the layout

Good condition even in January

Nice staff too

Tee boxes, fairways, rough and greens all in great shape. They’re keeping up with leaves as best as can be expected. Layout is fair, can see the greens from almost every tee box.

Middle of the road public course. Slightly overpriced, even on a Saturday. It shouldn’t cost more than $60-$65 max to play here imo. Had a few beers and a cigar so it wasn’t a complete waste of time. Not in a huge rush to go back.

Beautiful course! Maintained very nicely, no leaves on the greens, great condition!

The course was amazing! We’ll groomed, clean, and the greens were not covered in leaves!

The staff was average.

I would recommend this course to anyone to play!

A nice opportunity to to play this course. Have not played here for over five years. They added some amenities like the putting green near the first hole. The course was well maintained and the greens were challenging. Would love to play it again.

Second time playing this course and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. Actually more as the fist time they had Aerated the greens earlier in the week. But the greens and course are in great condition. Will play again for sure

Have played Downingtown more than 30 times over the years, maybe more. It is one of the "never get tired of playing" courses in the area. The clubhouse is well kept and inviting as one might expect. I'll be going back.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Actually was able to go out early as I was a single. Course was in very good condition. The greens had been aerated earlier in the week but did not Take away from the enjoyable round.

Looking forward to playing again soon

Friendly staff. Very helpful and attentive. Close was in good shape. Pace of play was great for a Saturday

First off, I was paired with 3 seniors all named Bob, one of whom made his first career hole in one during our round, so that was awesome!

This was my first time on the property. The layout of the course as far as routing and variety of holes I thought was quite solid. Each set of tees seems to present a reasonable challenge for the players that should be playing those lengths. Tight in spots, but room to miss on plenty of holes. I found the greens tough to read and missing them presented a challenge as there was thick rough around many of them..

That being said, I found the $85 rate to be about $25-30 higher for a course in its condition. Tee boxes were really struggling, a lot of almost unmanicured spots around the greens. Loads of ball marks (not necessarily the course fault, people need to fix their ballmarks!), and very slow greens (i get this too because its so hot and dry, but these were pretty furry).

For its price point I did expect more condition wise. Played Broad Run in West Chester recently, and for only a $14 difference the 2 were night and day. I think this course currently is more in line with Honey Run in York, PA as a good comparison. That being said, it is a really nice layout, and I would certainly play here again if the conditions are improved or the price point adjusted.
