Needs a few days of rain.

There once was a time when Cherry Downs was one of the most sought-after golf courses in the greater Toronto area. Those days are gone! Although it is still a good track and the greens are still lightning fast, it certainly doesn't live up to the good old days. Tee decks were barely acceptable and the car pathways are in terrible need of repair. Don't get me wrong it's still a good course, but certainly doesn't live up to the $90 price tag. Hopefully some wetter weather will bring this coarse back into the $90 zone but until then I can only give this course a C+ on it's report card this time'round. Sorry.

Frustrating greens

Cherry Downs over the years has lost it’s lustre. Very dry and nearly impossible conditions to hold a green made it a frustrating round to say the least. Miss the greens and the rough is so dry, it’s like chipping of a rock. Probably my last round there for a long time.
