Deceptively Difficult!
Seeing the scorecard and length of the course you might think this an easy course, but in my opinion the course slope rating isn’t correct.I would rate this course from the tips as a high 120’s slope or possibly low 130’s. There are many water hazards and tight fairways bordered by woods on each side on many holes. Also, you need to know yardages to corner doglegs or you may not advance enough to have a clear shot at a green. That was my only complaint, the scorecard and the yardage signs on the tee boxes didn’t correspond to one another on quite a few holes. The greens are also fairly undulating, so it makes for some tough putts, especially if they are drier I would imagine, although they were rather slow the day we went.
Maintenance
Nice layout but could have many upgrades! Greens not very well maintained could be a beautiful course! Was a little disappointed.
Peaceful Round!
Played on a Monday morning and we had the course to ourselves!! Always Great to return to Downing Farms with a Very Freindly staff and an interesting back 9 !!
I dig it!!!
Fun track! Challenging for sure. Some tight fairways and a lot of hills. For a beginner like me, it’s an excellent course to learn and hone your skills. At $27 for 18 and a cart, it’s my new favorite place to play. Fairways are pretty clean, rough is a little long, greens are a little rough. But pace of play was great, even on a league night. Staff was awesome. Value for money was amazing. This will be my new home course.
Just not good
this course could be so good great layout but it is in awful condition and they are doing nothing to fix it
Front desk has an attitude
Walked in 15min prior to tee time, gave the front desk my name which I paid for through the online app, he proceeded to imply I gave him a fake name. I showed him my ID and was not in the mood with his bad jokes about my name. Had a great day of golf though! Terrible front desk clerk. Older guy, was probably trying to make a bad joke, but it’s not funny when it’s your name. Will not come back.
Hilltop
If there was a lower rating than one star on pace of play, I would’ve chosen that
Great time
The course is not perfect but fun to play. The staff is great and friendly.
Good golfing yesterday
Nice late morning/early aftn on the course. Well maintained.
(Too bad some other golfers don't take a few seconds to repair their greens ballmarks).
