Came Down Golf is not only steeped in history but is a fantastic modern competitive course. Although it is not on the coast it has the feeling of a links and the wind she blows. I especially liked playing the 2 par fives back to back one with the wind and one against. For the par 3 experts the 6 plays 231 yds into the prevailing wind so not to much chance of a 2 club. I agree with the locals that the approach to the 7th is the feature of the course and for me it was a low hit 3 iron into the wind. As the for the par 3's they are all challenging and most seemed to be into the prevailing wind. My favorite hole was Polly's pit which is the 17th named after the last pony to work on the course. The greens were very fast and tricky to read with pins placed on hidden slopes so a great challenge. Another great feature of the course are the bunkers that are thoughtfully placed and with great sand both in texture and depth. The maintenance of the course is excellent and on each Tee are containers for broken tee's as well as hand towels for club and ball cleaning. In general this is a well thought course with holes that appeal to all level of golfers.

In my Golf Course Review of the Came Down Golf Club it was easy to book the round and the accessibility of the course was good. The course is set in a scenic environment and the atmosphere around the course is excellent. I rated the facilities of the course including the changing rooms, pro shop, practice range and putting green 7 out of 10. The condition of the course was excellent and the tees, fairways, greens and course bunkering were all top notch. Although the Course Yardage Marking was not the best but the Cleanliness and Manicuring of the Course was very good. In summary the challenge presented by the Came Down Golf Club is a good one and the layout and design of the course is very good. My overall enjoyment of the course was 8 out of 10.
