Check your ego at the door
This is a great course that rewards accuracy...with a slope rating of 134 from the Blues, it does not disappoint. Every shot must be carefully thought out.
Greens were lighting quick with a lot of undulation... don’t leave it in the high side or you will pay the price.
Staff was freindly and service was great. Free range balls was a plus.
I will definitely be back with the knowledge that I gained from a very enjoyable round.
Rent a cart if you don’t like a hilly walk.
Hi charlesguan. Thanks for the 5 star review!
We hope to see you back again soon.
Excellent value for money
Course is in great shape, very challenging. Long course for all. Have to be accurate. Lightning fast greens, which they they are known for. Tons of nesting Japanese beetles on the fairways, hope they keep under control.
Hi LindaFee. Thanks for the 5 star review!
We are glad to hear of your comments, especially about our conditions and value for money. We hope to have you back again soon.
Hi u000004044786. Thanks for the positive review. If there is anything we can do to enhance your experience with us, please let us know. Hope to see you again soon.
Hi u00000256403. Thanks for the positive review, don't hesitate to reach out with any further feedback. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
Incredible layout
Cart # 76 breaks are failing, please fix ASAP. First time played this course, great architecture, course has a character if it's own, hopefully will score better in next outing, on par 3 15, keep the ball below hole, if putting from behind, know it's going to go lightning fast... Will certainly return....
Hi Tali. Thanks for the positive review, we are happy to see you enjoyed your time with us, and this is the time when the greens are their fastest. We have reporting the cart issue to our maintenance team to review. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
Hi Grantforrest. Thanks for the 5 star review!
We are glad to see you enjoyed your round, we hope to see you back for another round, soon.
This course has a great layout
I have played this course regularly before it became a clublink course. It always had the most difficult greens of any course I have played. The greens were designed to copy the Augusta golf course at the instruction of the original owners. It was always in excellent condition, however, this time the fairways were in terrible condition with large patches of dirt and uneven patches of grass. The greens had recently been drssed and we're very Sandy although they did roll smoothly. They also have let the vegetation on many holes to grow too high making it very difficult to hit over hazzards. I used to love this course having played it hundreds of times. I will never play this course again regardless of the price. Clublink should be ashamed the way they let his course go downhill.
Hi alfinsky356. Thanks for taking the time to review your round with us.
We are disappointed to hear your round didn't live up to your expectations. We are very proud of the uniqueness of and difficulty of our greens so are glad to hear you enjoy the aspect of playing Cherry Downs.
We are constantly working on the course and that includes moving dirt throughout the course, you may have caught us in the midst of that. We hope that is the not the only reason to not return - we'd love to speak with you further to understand any further items we can do to enhance your experience in the future.
Great place to play
Had a great 13 holes, then I met Bill, one of their Marshalls. He made my day. Truly was interested in me having a good time. We had a great conversation, gave me sightlines and even drove me to my car when done. Unbelievable service at a superb golf course.
Hi u5595032. Thanks for the positive review! We are so glad to hear that Bill enhanced your day!
We will pass along the kind words, and look forward in welcoming you back for another round soon.
Always good greens
I've been playing here for a long time. Course is in nice shape. Greens are smooth and quick. In order to help play and conditions they need to cut down a ton of trees. Could be a superb course with some hard work.
Hi Keith1499339. Thanks for the positive review, and kind words.
We appreciate your repeat business, and we are always looking for ways to improve the course. Hope we see you back again, soon.
Hi rampragg. Thanks for the positive review!
If there is anything we could have done to enhance your experience with us, don't hesitate to let us know.
Great course.
Course is challenging but fair. Greens were fast and also a challenge to read. Ended up behind a slow couple of players that made it a slow round. Enjoyed playing the course a will likely play it again.
Hi JohnCatalano. Thanks for the 5 star review!
We're glad to hear you enjoyed the greens. We hope to see you back for a re-visit soon.
Hi beezee3003. Thanks for the 5 star review!
We hope to see you back at the club again, soon.
I'll be back
Picked up a hot deal at short notice on this course and I'm glad I did. One of the most interesting layouts I've seen with accuracy at a premium. Greens were fantastic. Unfortunately we got rained off not way through the back nine, but I'll be back to finish this gem off.
Hi nialllsweeney88.
Thanks for the 5 star review! I'm glad to hear our course had a positive first impression. Please come back anytime as we'd love for you to see the full 18 holes.
Not a level,place on any green !
We enjoyed our day. Course is challenging for a mid capper. Greens are really tough. I now know where Whitby is!!! The starter warned us that all greens slope towards Whitby. The course was somewhat dry and alot of hard dry patches. Got a great value from Golfnow with the 25% bonus discount. Because of the greens, which were very frustrating, I'm not sure I will
l be coming back soon ?
Hi mwilsonca.
Thanks for taking the time to review your round, and positive rating. Cherry Downs is very proud of its reputation for fast, difficult greens. It can certainly make the round more challenging but is something many of our customers love about us.
Please don't let the greens alone to discourage you from a future visit. When your game is ready for another challenge, we look forward to hosting you again soon!
The staff was really good. Very helpful.
The pace of play was very very slow. It's a classic style course with narrow fairways and lots of trees. The greens are tough but true.
Hi u586694114.
Thanks for the positive review! Our course is difficult for some which has caused some slow downs, but we strive for a positive pace of play. We had some small events out that day, and would love for you to return on a more normal day to full experience Cherry Downs.
