Worst golf course I’ve ever been to in my entire life. No sand bunkers, greens are all brown and not well maintained whatsoever! And the customer service is just the worst. Guy told us to leave bc we were late like what the heck? Lots of holes and the potential to sprain your ankle is insane! Yardages aren’t correct at all and the flags were impossible to see on the back 9! There was also a dead deer carcass in the woods and it smelled so awful! Whatever you do stay the hell away from this awful course! Waste of money! Don’t waste your money going here at all! Save yourselves and don’t waste y…

⛳ Downing Farms Golf Course, Northville, Michigan: 👍👍👍 👍 Enjoy a Round at Downing Farms Golf Course, located in Northville, Michigan.

Originally developed on a former horse farm, the course provides a quaint, rustic golfing environment, albeit with some areas that could benefit from better maintenance.

Teeing off of a chipping mat on a pile of plywood describes this course perfectly... Watch out for the random hidden holes around the apron. You'll break an ankle if you're not careful.

Absolutely horrible golf course. Went there to play and got cussed out by one of the rangers on the first hole because I was looking for my ball. One of the rangers was nice and the other was absolutely horrible. He trailed me for the rest of my round and kicked me out for no real reason.

I LOVE this golf course! I went for the first time in 2023 and wanted to go back as often as I could. It is a hidden gem, comparable to the “big fancy” courses that will cost you over $100 per player in challenging holes and aesthetics. Honestly some of those holes… they best even the greatest golfers (I’m talking about myself … kidding, hehe). I encountered some health problems within my nervous system in mid 2024, which brought disaster to my life. I lost my mobility, my dexterity, my energy, my mind a little bit, my career, and my life as I knew it would never be the same. I’ve been worki…

It’s a fun course for amateurs. There are wide open fairways but also few very short Par 3s. It’s bit far away but the pricing is reasonable. Some holes have rather narrow fairways so bring lots of balls. To me the most ‘memorable’ hole is the one tee box with carpet!!! See pic

Well priced course. Fairly well kept, though does not have true sand traps and the carts are very outdated. All in all, good pricing considering these issues.

Look forward to playing there every year. Family run country golf course that has the shortest and hardest par three ever. A sunken green about a 110 yards out hidden from view by a huge downslope in front. Plus, the green also slopes slightly front to back towards the woods. Unless you can backspin the ball, what are your options? Hey, do what I just did yesterday. After a hozzle penalty to the woods on the right, my chip shot of about 20 yards gently bounced off the downslope and ever so slowly curled onto the green. My good friend John watched in awe as the ball dropped in for par. Priceles…

Course is 5 stars for its cost in the inflated sense of ego area it is located. Dont let tiktok reviews sour your experience here.

Resonable green fees, friendly staff and well kept, rustic golf course. 18 holes for under $15 is a bargain. I play here often.

I played 18, it's a nice golf course. I enjoyed myself. A little hard to fallow for a first time there, I will say it has open fairways.
