Are you challenge this course?
I played first time here.
The course layout and conditions are very nice.
I want to play more times in this course.
The weather was very windy, but play was very nice.
Very Cherry Waterdowns
Great course never a bad day here. I went in late april so the course was soaked. It held it well and we were only confined to the cart path on 3 holes. Greens were outstanding..like winter wasn't even a thing. Noone around all day but that will likely change as the year goes on
Fantastic course
Brilliant day, challenging course and we'll worth it.
The course is good except their power cart
The course is in great condition especially their greens are very challenging. My only complaint is their power carts are old and the break does work very well. Club Link should seriously consider to replace them otherwise it's quite dangerous to drive around the course when it's wet and the road is slippery.
Come for the greens and the challenge of holes 3 through 5!
Super-easy check in with very friendly, informative pro shop attendant. Great practice range, very nice practice green that also matches the pace and undulations of the greens.
Was able to get out early and really, really enjoyed the challenge of holes 3 through 5.
Although not super long on paper; this course plays much longer than the yardage states.
Conditioning is real good for the most part. The best treat of the day by far was putting the greens at Cherry Downs. Even in the rain; they were putting true and were rolling real nice.
Despite the weather I thoroughly enjoyed my round at Cherry Downs and cannot wait to get back there.
Value for Money
The greens and fairways were in excellent condition despite the dry weather
Great track
Great track but painfully slow to play this afternoon. Two groups waiting to tee off on many holes.
cherry
played this course many a time over the yrs.like playing there, greens were quick not as fast as I've seen them before, the tee boxes were chewed up tho, and they need to start reminding people to repair their ball marks as they leave little pot marks overall tho course was very playable
Cherry Downs
Got a Hot Deal special (18 holes and cart for $62.50 all-in). Should also mention that the practice facilities are included. Were greeted by friendly Pro-Shop and starter staff, and had the pleasure of being kept hydrated by some lovely on-course and club house servers.
Parts of the course (tee blocks) had been recently aerated, and a couple of the greens appeared to have some top dressing done, but all in all the course was in good shape.
Had a very enjoyable day, at a quite challenging course, and will definitely be back again.
Great course
Very well maintained, with a beautiful layout, and some difficult holes and fast greens
Friendly members and a good experience
Cherry downs was a nice course to play. Very walkable. The layout is pretty good. All par 3's on the front 9 are uphill. The driving range was mats only.
Bring your A-game
Played this course when it was private, prior to ClubLink acquiring. It has withstood the test of time & the elements. Matured magnificently. The best greens that I have putted on. Lightning quick. Keep the ball below the hole. It was a beast then & a monster now. I'll be back!
Bring Your A Game to Cherry Downs
Played this course for the first time. It is most suited for the better than average golfer as hazards are in abundance. This course requires a golfer to choose shots and then execute to avoid trouble. Fairways are in good shape. Greens are lightning fast and difficult to hold.
Can't wait to play here again. Loved it.
Old facility
Nice enough course with some challenging holes. Greens were not very quick the day we played but they are hard to read. Many tee boxes close to tees for other holes so it was rather noisy on tee shots. Conditions were a little dry off the fairways and the tee boxes were rock hard - lack of rain in this area was evident.
Fast greens
Possibly the best course in Durham region. Super fast greens and picturesque holes make this course a must to play. Great price using golf now.
Thank you for taking the time to respond and we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the day. Cherry Downs has long been recognized for it's excellent playing surfaces and fast greens. Our pricing remains quite consistent for all guests.
Fastest Public course greens.
The greens this year have lived up to their previous reputation of lightening fast. The course was very dry and firm. This made playing from the rough a little easier than would be had in spring conditions. Pace of play had us finishing our round in 4 hours, and not feeling the least bit rushed. Clubhouse is pretty dated and need a major overhaul. This is probably the reason club link has put this in their public rotation. Food and drinks are a little pricey and the food quality is average, but this would not be enough reason to stay away as the course is the star attraction.
Thank you for taking the time to respond with such positive remarks.
Mixed Bag
First for the good. The course is in excellent shape. The layout is unique and challenging. My cart's batter died after we teed off on the second hole and the staff had a replacement to us in no time. We were able to hold our place. Bunkers are full of nice fine sand.
The not so good. No rangers to be seen till the 17th hole. Pace of play was 445 min, which is too slow.
A lot of the golfers playing at this course are rude and show no consideration for fellow golfers. All the greens are very close to the tee boxes for the following hole. At the 14th I lost it and yelled at the group behind me to shut up as we can't hear our self think as they were making so much noise on the green. When I told the staff after the round, they said I was not the first to complain.
Thank you for taking time to share your positive remarks and also concern toward Player Assistants. We're working hard daily to make the experience enjoyable for eveyone on the course.
Hello Kein,
Thank you for your comments.
I am glad you enjoyed our course.We hope to see you again.
Have a great day,
