Course looks and pays very good
Early season fun, the course played well and is in really good form.
Reasonable price for early Spring
This was my first time playing this course. It was reasonably priced for this time of year. Other courses are charging normal rates and I'm sure the course conditions don't justify the price.
When we arrived for our tee time, the cashier had to apologize for the back up on the first tee. GolfNow mistakenly booked tee times 2 minutes apart. Once we got off the first tee, pace of play was slow. We waited on every hole even though we were paired with a beginner golfer. It was good for her, since she didn't feel rushed.
The course is in decent shape for this time of year. We were only able to play the back nine due to the rain that came earlier than originally forecast. It is a short course so will force me to work on my short game. The greens are deceptively fast. There are a few holes with blind shots that I will play differently now that I know. It definitely forces you practice your course management to score.
They have new golf carts, but the cart paths could use some TLC in places. The staff is very friendly. Looking forward to playing again since we were given a raincheck due to the rain. I would recommend.
Great to Return to Downing Farms!
Always Good to make it back to Downing Farms. New Carts!! And as Always a Super friendly staff!!
Decent Little Course
Not a bad course for the price . I thought the greens were in good condition as compared to other reviews . Pace of play wasn’t that bad but the cart paths could use a upgrade . Overall I would play here again for the price .
Nice Little course
Course needs a little TLC. The cart paths are tad rough, needs a little more up keep but you can’t go wrong with the price.
It's Alright!
Always Good to play a round at Downing Farms. As my lead says , Downing Farms is Alright!
Not worth it
Most of the course was in bad shape, from tee to green. The greens were the nicest part of the course but almost every green had dead spots that I had to move my ball to get around, divots as if someone had taken a full swing from the green, or both. The course needs a lot of work to make it worthwhile to play.
Slow Play, Bad conditions
The course was in horrible shape. Extremely slow play.
Below average course, yet great Staff!
My son and I have been trying different courses every week and this one was one we haven’t played yet yeah popped up on the app so decided to try it… Staff was fantastic, very personable and warm greeting when I arrived. Unfortunately, the course is not in good shape and the layout is very strange! There was some beautiful scenery and a few holes so we made the best of it. Yeah, we probably not return unless major improvements were done.
Yet play and give your own opinion, If you do play, make sure you bring your bug spray
