Cherry Downs Golf and Country Club

Great course conditions, layout, and challenging greens - this would've been a perfect course. HOWEVER, the pace of play here is borderline ludicrous. With a 3:40pm tee time, I was unable to finish the round due to the extremely slow pace of play on the course. By time the final closing horn blew at approximately 8:15PM, my watch indicates that the round had taken almost 4 hours and 35 minutes and we hadn't even made it to the 18th hole. I saw a Marshall once on the front 9, and never saw them again - the staff clearly did not care that golfers were going to lose out on playing all 18 even with reasonably early tee times. This was emphasized by the staff's lack of accountability when asked after the round why there was no one enforcing a reasonable pace of play.

I get it - I'm not an outstanding golfer and enjoy taking my time. But when I book a 3:40 tee time with a 7:50pm sunset, I'm expecting that I'll get to complete all 18 holes.

Buyer beware - check sunset times and expect a round to take upwards of 5 hours and no enforced reasonable pace of play.

$149.16 tax in for a round with cart I would expect a lot better. No marshals to be found (I was told they don't start until 10am. We teed off at 7:50am. pace of play was nearly 5 hours, waiting at each hole for the groups ahead, with a grumpy group behind us as well. Bare patches of rough here and there, no club house. Sandwiches sold out at halfway house.

We were waiting for most of the round. We were on pace for a 6 hour round but it got dark. Turns out if was a group of walkers 3 groups ahead of us that wouldn’t let anyone play through. They should’ve been asked by marshals or someone to pick up the pace but nothing ever happened.

The greens are super fast. So pack your best putter;)

Coarse was excellent for the 6 holes I played. Unfortunately I could not get a rain delay from coarse or golf now. I didn’t no once you start round you loose out and cancellations

A little expensive 6 holes

The greens are not to normal.

Best place to practice real putting, In my opinion second only to Osprey TPC north putting greens

All the greens have just been aerated. They tried to fill holes with sand but didn't do a good job. Had I known this during booking, I would not have gone.

Cart fee is over $30/rider which is highway robbery for those who are unable to walk the course...especially given the poor and dated condition of the carts!!

Well worth the $, walked can’t beat the $

It’s not an easy walk, with some good hills to climb, but very doable.. enjoyed it will be back

Greens run well, your putter needs to be hot

Just started play at Cherry Downs. Great layout which requires some thought on shots. Greens are quick and deceptive breaks. Work needed on tee boxes.

I gave played Cherry Downs multiple times this year and had a great experience every time, however, I would have to say, their fleet of carts need an upgrade

Legit no basis on the review

This place I paid 90 tax in with cart Friday morning and it was well worth it, way better value here than other courses I've played this year that are in the similar rating as this place. Based on staff friendliness and overall course conditions and experience this place is worth it at 90 over , Kedron, deer Creek , Oakridge , Watson glen and royal Ashburn. Cherry downs has better value golf than those places.
