Cherry Downs Greens are still Lighting FAST!
Great course layout and lightning fast greens. Nothing held today as the greens were cut very short. The pin placements made it difficult to get within 10-12 feet and some holes had very little green to work with.
This is very typical of Cherry Downs which is what they are renowned for.
