You get what you pay for!
This is an extremely cheap course, great deal for the price. For the price point absolutely no complaints. Staff is very friendly!
Nice little track
For the money, a great little hidden track. Some challenging holes, and empty enough that it’s beginner-friendly. Staff was great… Even though they were out of power, they made everything work.
Beautiful course!
I went with my 16 year old son, his buddy and his dad who I’m buddies with. First time at the course, really beautiful nature all around you, nice and quiet and serene. I really liked the course and thought it played great. Enjoy!
Family Friendly
My son and I played for the first time, and it's a very good place especially for beginners.
7 hour rounds
The pace of play at Downing Farms is absolutely atrocious. It is easily the slowest playing course in all of south east Michigan, and arguably the slowest in the whole state. My tee time was at 12:08. By 12:58, I was still waiting to hit my tee shot on the 3rd hole. That’s 50 minutes for 2 holes, resulting in a 7.5 hour round. This is as a single, mind you. If you mention the pace of play to the staff, expect some serious attitude coming back your way. They are unwilling to accept any accountability when it comes to overbooking and will insist it is YOU at fault for wanting to play at a reasonable pace. Your shoes will get muddy, not from the course, but because the parking lot isn’t big enough to fit everyone they’ve booked, and your only other option for parking is a massive mud pile off to the side. The rangers are non-existent; they do not do anything to help pace of play. The course itself is a fun little course that is pretty well maintained and is great for shooting low. I played this course nearly twenty times last year, and it was great. Pace of play was decent and the staff was friendly. This year is a compete different story. Unless they make it somehow possible to finish a round here in under 6 hours, I wouldn’t recommend playing here. Your time would be better spent hitting off a mat in an empty field.

I really enjoy the course. Great layout. The course would be much more challenging if the sand traps were still sand traps.
Great shape
Although the course has a few rough spots they do not affect play. The tees are good but the greens are perfect. The staff are very friendly and it is always a pleasure to play here.

Course is fine for the average golfer, yet challenging especially the back 9. Most golfers will enjoy the course unless you expect to see a course that is nearly perfect and one that would cost much more.
