The City of Downey owns this golf course, having completed a renovation in 1994 of the course's design. Architect Gerald W. Pirkl was in charge of the new design. This course now has large mounds and moguls that come into play on each hole. 4 new ponds have been added, coming into play on 7 holes. The fairways are narrow and lined by big old pine trees and an average cut of rough. The putting greens have been completely redone. Instead of the once small, hard greens before, the course now has big, somewhat undulating greens, soft enough to hold your shots. Good course management on the front 9 is necessary if you wish to score low on those holes. This golf course has 2 great holes, number 9 and number 18. Nine is a 416-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot to a small landing area guarded by a pond on the left and big mounds on the right, then an approach shot to a putting green protected by a few big white-sand traps. Eighteen is a 424-yard par 4, requiring a lengthy tee shot, then an approach shot to a putting green that has a huge tree blocking your approach shot from the left but there are also out-of-bounds stakes on the right. There is a 5,657-yard men's tee with a ladies' course rating of 72.5 and slope of 124. The 6,030-yard men's tee has a ladies' course rating of 74.6 and a slope of 128. Discounts are available for the residents of the City of Downey.
