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.

Great track, tough greens!
This is a nice golf course for the money. It’s a very good test. The greens roll fast but true and are the most challenging element of the course. A couple of the par 5s are goofy is really my only criticism. I’d gladly play a Hot Deal here any time.
