Had the opportunity to visit home for the day. Moved away and haven't really had the opportunity to play here for a few years. If you haven't played here before, it is a must play if youre in the area. Beautiful scenic course, craig has done a great job with this course throughout the years. Course has matured perfectly since its creation in the mid 90's. Very generous driving areas with perfectly placed bunkers protecting the greens. There is lots of water throughout the course, so this is not just a grip it and rip it course, got to have a little course management here. Greens are fast but hold. There are numerous tee boxes and I do recommend playing up if youre not super long. Fairways are usually a little damp so you dont get a lot of roll on the drives.

This was my first time to this course and wow was it ever a treat. The dramatic elevation changes, strategically placed bunkers and risk/reward shots make this course a welcome challenge. There is plenty of length for the long hitters off the back tees, so I would say this course is anything but tight. Now the downside that has to be mentioned is the pace of play. Like most people, I’m no fan of most starters or roving rangers, but this course absolutely needs both. Groups teeing off 20min early, 3 solos going off one after the other and not being paired together and a 2some playing 9 going off on the back leading to congestion are just a few things I witnessed. This caused my round to take 4hr50min on a Friday afternoon. Overall I would say the course is an amazing track with spectacular views, just get a little structure to keep pace of play organized.

In my opinion, this is the best public course in Northeast Ohio (with Chippewa). The greens are large, smooth, and roll fast and true. It’s a creative, scenic layout with the front being very different from the back. The views on the front nine are fantastic and you get to play elevation changes throughout the round. For the reviews that say it’s busy… all the courses in the area are stacked with tee times. The club house leaves a lot to be desired, but is sufficient. If there is heavy rain the day or two before the front nine can play very wet! If you catch on a dry day/week this course is a pleasure to play!

Finally got to play this course and was very impressed with lay out. It would get the full 5 stars if the greens and tees weren't a mine field. Very disappointing to see golfers that are good enough to hit these very receptive gems, not repair the damage they caused. As well as repairing divots. Hopefully the Superintendent will get the resources to plug and top dress as much as needed before it's too late for the greens.

Headed south from Middlefield Ohio to beat some rain. What a cool golf course! Challenging layout without unfair holes. This is an Ohio hidden gem! Likely to be back many times despite the long drive.
