Downing is a muni owned and operated by the City of Erie, and is on the east side of downtown, near Lake Erie. It plays to 7092 yards from the back tees, 119 slope, is relatively flat and walkable, and is a parkland style course with wide tree lined fairways, and water in play on two holes. Moderate use of bunkers, and good sized greens with slight undulation. The rates are great, the pace of play, however, can be slow.
