Downshire Golf Complex

We held my father's wake at Downshire today. The room was nicely set out. The buffet lunch was plentiful and tasty. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Everything went well. Thank you.

Went out today for 18 holes with 2 mates really looking forward to play the full 18. Lovely weather so a great day out for it, and i’m sure lots other had the same idea, however the course was extremely over booked and i’ve had this same experience before when playing here. For every hole on the front 9 there were 5 groups playing on each hole which is just ridiculous, queuing 10 plus minutes each time just to hit a tee shot. I’ve expressed my feelings to the chaps in the club house who were not interested in helping me in the slightest which is terrible customer services. I will not be coming here again as £40 for 9 holes taking 4 hours is just unheard of anywhere else i’ve played before.

Just under 5 hours for a round yesterday. Had to wait on every tee and every shot. Awful experience. Course martial did nothing about the slow play. In fact we didn’t even see him for the entire round even though it was 26 degrees and he was supposed to be selling drinks from his cart. It’s such a shame as it has the layout to be a good course, but it’s not looked after and their tee times are obviously too close together for the quality of players on the course.

Course in great nick considering how wet it has been and how cold it was on the day. Always a good challenge

I play this course regularly and it's a lovely course ,I feel sorry for the green keepers who are fighting an uphill battle against idiots who won't repair their own pitch marks ,we played a 3 ball on 4th September , on the last 4 holes we repaired over 20 unrepaired pitch marks between us,we didn't have anyone following closely so had the time , if you play this course please take a few seconds to repair divots and any other marks you inflict . On some days it can get slow with society competitions playing ,but still enjoyable .

DO NOT COME HERE.Weather was Brillant so me and my pals went down for a full 18, didn’t not expect 45minutes per hole due to over booking and absolutely disgraceful management. How can you possible enjoy a game of golf, when it comes to actually playing you’re waiting 45minutes to hit your next ball. We were told there was a gap behind us organically, Brillant. However this was completely and utterly untrue as there was a que of 4 groups behinds us and a que of 5 groups infront of us, after the 9th hole we went inside to value our issues and we where completely shut down and told that it wasn’t over booked? How could that possibly be true? It just shows an incredibly lack of care and understanding for golf, they only care for the money and nothing else. DO NOT COME.

visited the golf club the other day, have played the course before however only went on the range on this occasion. amazing upkeep within the shop and driving range. Had some amazing food in the restaurant area after practicing on the range , really tasty and good quality! the restaurant was nice and tidy and well looked after, as always lovely staff who made the visit enjoyable. will defiantly be back

This course is only open at best 6 months of the year for anyone who has mobility issues. I have not been able to get on the course since the beginning of October due to it being too wet for buggies?Plenty of other courses in the area operate a policy which allows disabled golfers priority, not at downshire.Do not waste your money on a membership, there are much better courses for the money in the area that are more than happy to accommodate disabled golfers.

Obviously the aim of this course is take your money and screw you. I’m sorry but over 4 hours to play 13 holes in a two ball(we walked off) is just not acceptable. Flatly refusing to waive you through and a total disregard for the rules and the course. The pro shop staff appear not to care, complaints are water off a ducks back but stupidly I paid the money. Never again.
