Average golfer
like the course, it is well kept and challenging but yet fair for the average golfer
One of our favorite places to play
The staff are very nice people. Pace of play flucuates depending on time and day. Today was great on the back nine. Layout may be confusing the first couple times it's played, but easy once it is figured out. Just plain fun to play.
Terrible Experience - Don't play here!
I had my worst golf course experience ever here. Sunday evening around 6pm, so the course was not busy. The staff was so unprofessional and unfriendly. They refused to greet me when I entered the clubhouse. I had my 4 year old daughter with me. After about 10 seconds of awkward silence and me saying "hi" the staff member finally said "She can't play!" Caught completely off guard I said "well she's learning. Gotta start them young." The staff member proceeded to say no we don't allow kids on the course. After me trying to gain clarity on this ridiculous policy the staff member ended up saying "I'm not going to continue this conversation with you. You can leave now."
After this terrible experience with the staff member I will never attempt to play here again and will actively recommend that others don't as well. In a time where golf courses are regularly closing, having a rule that kids aren't allowed on the course is completely ridiculous.
Potential, but needs work.
nice layout, but course needs work on Tees, greens and bunkers.
Downing farms hidden gem
This place is great. No complaints besides the pace of the players I was behind (twosome that took 3 shots each per stroke). Challenging, fun, and well kept. I’m not really sure what to say besides I loved it, and will certainly return. Great price, a lot of very fun holes with different looks and layouts. I’m fairly certain the sand traps however are empty due to Covid (rakes and all) so that’s the only thing missing this year which is indersranvle and helpful for those who usually land in bunkers anyways
Cheap Hidden Gem
Great course for a peaceful morning round. Not super busy. Able to take my time. Loved it for a average golfer.

Definitely worth a visit
I would definitely bring a friend with me next time I go, the course is laid out very well! It’s definitely challenging with the many hazards that are around the course such as water creeks lakes some small fairways.

We were one of the first tee times in the morning. The dew was heavy and the greens had not been rolled. Made putting very difficult. Signage (directing players from one green to the next tee) could be better. For the value it was an enjoyable course - like playing golf in northern lower Michigan.
