Good course

Course was in good shape. Despite work being done to clean up trees, none of it impacted play or pace.

Great course, greens are tough

It’s a great open course, the staff was awesome, pace of play was good as well.

Only bad part is the greens, the holes are just tough, even putts that look like they’re going in will take a last second turn. It’s like the lips of the holes are all flanged out

If your gonna charge 46 bucks to play in winter at least send someone out to blow off the greens that's not that hard to figure out but if you know you don't have to and don't care then I guess there you are

Maintenance

I appreciate the course being open middle of winter. That being said if your going to charge 46 bucks in December the least you can do is send some out to blow off the greens of pine needles and debris . Just seems like the easiest thing to do probably 5 minutes per hole and only about 6 holes even needed it.

great value

Can't beat $23 for 18holes and a cart! Course was challenging, especially the greens. Only complaint would be the tee boxes were a bit in rough shape, but didn't really affect me.

Nice contour changes, refreshing to play instead of flat east side courses. Worth the drive

We liked it.

Nice change of pace from the flat courses on the East Side which we normally play. Only suggestion is water tee boxes after period of no rain like we are having.

Way overpriced!

At $41 for 9 holes I expected more. Could have played 18 at any of our beautiful metropark courses for that. Many off the tee boxes were in rough shape.

Highly recommend

My son and I golfed this course for the first time. Unfortunately, we were immediately behind a corporate event so pace was slow (so don’t hold my pace rating against Hilltop). Course was very well maintained and challenging. It is one of the more expensive options in the area, but given course condition we didn’t mind paying a little bit extra. I do highly recommend.

Slowwwwww

If you want to wait 30 minutes to play each hole this is a great course. The ranger does nothing but drive past the 3 groups of people waiting at each tee box without saying anything to the people in front of them. Greens and tee boxes are in bad shape due to people not fixing divots. Greens are unfair with pins being placed on slants that make it nearly impossible to make any putts.

Challenging Greens

Fairly short course but you need to shape shots and know where the flagsticks are located . Problem: All the flags are the same color(yellow)! So, if hitting uphill or from longer distances it’s just a guess. Problem: The greens are mostly on hills and you need to stay below the pin but you don’t know if they are front, middle or back. 🙄🏌🏻‍♂️Otherwise pretty strategic course ( fairway 13 and 6 need some maintenance) If you put well here it is a great accomplishment!

Thank you for your feedback. We acknowledge the issues you've raised regarding the flag colors and green positions, and we're looking into ways to improve this for a better golfing experience. We also appreciate the heads-up on fairways 13 and 6 and will address the maintenance needed there.

Terrible from Starter to pace of play.

This course habitually Overbooks & does nothing to remedy the terrible Pace of play. Ranger & Starter don't do anything to encourage players to move along. Players don't get paired up with other pairs. It took 1hr+ to play the 7th, 8th & 9th holes alone. Greens are chewed up & abused by players. Greens mared from club slams & unfixed ball marks. Great place for beginners. Not great for golfers who like PoP, decent Greens & Tee boxes. The place is a Cow Pasture & a Goat Track, on a Farm. Customer Service is a shoulder shrug & a palms up attitude. If you suck at golf or new to golf, you might enjoy yourself at the Down Farm.

Pace of play issues

Tee time was 9:26. Didn’t tee off until almost 9:40. Had to wait for about 5-10 minutes per tee box. Girlfriend even had to leave for work after 9. We would have had well enough time if pace of play was up to play full 18.

Course has a bunch of lay up par 4’s. Not my style as I bought a driver for a reason. Course was maintained well and the ranger was super nice.

They did compensate us for a “refund” for my girlfriend’s 9 due to the pace which was appreciated. Would play course again if I can’t get in at my other places In the area. I feel there are plenty of courses in the area with better value for price.
