Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club

Tee off at 2 PM. Finished front 9 at 430. The 4-some ahead was taking their sweet time. Only got 16 holes in. The marshal / player assistant needs todo their job.

Played Cherry Downs for the first time. This is a course you need to play a couple of times to understand where and where not to hit your drives and approach shots. Greens were fast but the pin placements were ridiculous on some holes. Had a good time overall but the marshall was not the friendliest. 3 times we were told to pick up our play only to sit on the following tee waiting for the group ahead to play. Explained this twice to the marshall but fell on deaf ears. Will return next year with better knowledge of the course.

Really enjoyed Cherry Downs. It’s a proper golf course that makes you think your way around rather than just standing on every tee and hitting driver. Lots of elevation changes, mature trees, some tight landing areas and enough trouble around the greens to keep you honest.

Course was in good shape overall and the greens rolled well. A few holes can definitely punish you if you get out of position, but it never felt unfair. There’s a good mix of holes and the layout keeps things interesting all the way through the round.

Staff were friendly, pace of play was reasonable, and the whole place has a nice established feel to it. It’s challenging enough for better players but still very playable if you’re an average golfer and choose the right tees.

Would definitely play it again. One of the better courses in the area if you like a traditional, tree-lined layout with some character.

The greens are still not the easiest and having the speeds not as fast definitely messed me up.

The course has recently aerated the greens hence the speed noticeably slowed down. Need a couple of holes to get used to. Otherwise everything is just great.

Great track. Fast greens (#5, 9, 15 & 18 are slanted skating ring greens). Yet love it because CD demands the best of any golfers. True test of skills, patience and mental fortitude.

With increasing frequency I am forced to have my enjoyable round polluted by someone's music blaring across the course. Politely asking them to turn it down results in a rude reply. I wish the course, which is lovely to play, prohibited music. But, at least marshal the course and get them to turn the volume down. We (those choosing not to play music) should not hear tunes two or three holes away.

it's hard to get good score, as the greens are difficult to read but the weather was good, had lots of fun.

For a Club Links course I was expecting a little better course conditions. The tee boxes were in terrible conditions, but the greens were in excellent condition. No one was filling in their divots on the fairways and the place of play was way too quick. We finished in 3hrs and 15 mins (always felt rushed).
