Hi Ross43.
Thanks for taking the time to review your experience with us. I'm disappointed to hear your experience was only 2 stars, please reach out if there is anything we could have done better to enhance your experience in the future.
Hi U000005757368,
Thanks for the positive review. Glad to see you had an enjoyable experience, don't hesitate to reach out with anything we can do to further your experience with us.
Interesting layout
The max yardage is deceiving. The course plays longer. Many tee shots are narrow with landing areas that require accuracy. Greens are fast. Be careful about the 18th green if the placement is at the front: your ball can roll 20 yds off the green.
Good course but now over-crowded/slow
Course is in good shape.
But, the pace of play was terrible. Tee times too close together and no marshal dictating the pace.
We teed off at 3.30 pm. Front 9 took almost 3 hours. Couldn't even finish (got dark around 7.30). Only got through 15 holes.
2 groups ahead of us was a foursome. Took 45 minutes to get through first two holes and two groups were waiting at every tee behind them. No marshal to be seen.
Maybe I will play here, but only off hours.
Go further north/east for better bang for your buck.
A Day in the sun
Course is tight and greens were fast. Would enjoy another shot at this one.
Overrated
Course layout is bland with few interesting holes. The greens are in mediocre condition. We generally play at courses which cost less and are in better condition.
After being lectured on the first tee how stringent they are on pace of play, insisting that everyone stay on a 4:15 hour pace, we hardly ever saw a ranger and the round took 4:40. Needless to say, will not return.
Best greens!
As a former member of clublink I had played Cherry Downs on a few occasions. Played it again yesterday and having nothing but great things to say about it. The greens are the best I have seen perhaps in many years. They are firm, lightning fast, but completely fair - no insane undulations. You make a good stroke at the right speed you get rewarded. If not you get penalized. Fairways, bunkers in great shape (only 1 unraked bunker), and the rough is a fair height - you can hit out of it but you won't get the spin needed to hold these greens unless you bounce it short and roll it on. Staff is super friendly and helpful and the halfway house (which is actually after hole 11) is amply supplied. One of the best values for the money out there!!
Cherry Downs - Public Version
Still a great course, even though it's public now. People should pick up their feet and repair ball marks.
Masochist's Dream
The layout and condition of this course is typically fine. The greens however are another matter. I've played the course a dozen times now and each time the pins have been cut in ridiculous spots. Unless you've played them a hundred times and seen every pin placement on every green. you'll have no idea where to try to leave your approach. If you're putting from the wrong spot it's impossible to leave it close. If you happen to drain the first one or hit a bomb coming back on your second putt, you've won the lottery. Even when playing well tee to green, I always blow my brains out on these greens. I'm a mid handicap. If I know I can't break 80 even when I'm playing well, it's not much fun. Don't think I'll be back.
"Better than most"
I have always wanted to play this course after hearing how challenging it was. I was not disappointed. I have played most of the top courses around including Canadian Open venues and the greens here are some of the most challenging i have encountered ( they were running a bit slow today thankfully).
The club house staff, starters and players assistants were all very friendly and welcoming. They made me feel like a member. I would definitely play this course again just for that reason alone.
Picturesque variety of playing holes.
Course was in pretty good shape given the wet spring. I found the variety of holes offered constant challenge but genuinely fair. Greens were tough and got faster as the day warmed up. Pace of play was good and marshals kept things moving but remained pleasant. Tee times are 9 min apart so course is not overloaded. Would definitely play it again.
Driving Range
I like to get to courses at least a hour earlier to warm up. Only once I checked in was I told the range was closed. I was very annoyed as this was only my second round of the year and the game is rusty. So my first 9 holes were horrible to say the least and it ruined my day.
Probably will not play there again.
Hello there,
We understand how you would be frustrated that the range was closed the day you played.
The reality is that we had Approx. 190 mils of rain in a 5 week period and our Range was saturated. Therefore making it difficult to retrieve the balls.
Our range is now open and we would like to see you back at the club. We hope you understand.
Hi theroster57.
Thanks for the positive review. Don't hesitate to reach out with any further feedback from your round. We hope to see you back at the club, soon.
