Ironwood Golf Course

As we expected, since this golf course was taken over by the Metro Parks system, they are beginning to male improvements. They have new cars, the greens, are still bouncy and some of the flags were place on the edge of a slope, but better.

While they pair you up to avoid twosomes or singles, there is no one making the slow groups sped up. Your typical double digit handicap playing from the tips, or others who find it difficult letting go of a golf ball clearly deep into the woods. We left after 13 holes. They still need to work on the back nine fairways and layout.

Enjoyed my round. The tee boxes were pretty beat up but it’s early in the season. First time I’ve been there since metro parks took over and you can begin to see drastic improvement. I use 18 birdies app for score and GPS, and the hole numbers are different/out of order on the front 9 (later I learned they re-numbered the holes to make the layout more efficient).

Would never play again or recommend this to anyone to play. For it being owned by the metro parks the course is horrible. My father in law use to play in a golf league. He even said that the course has gotten worse.

Ironwood has improved now that it is owned by the Metroparks. Greens were overall excellent; the fairways and rough need some work but, I would rate them good. Layout is the same with some difficult downhill and uphill Par 3's. He lower valley hole still are wet in places and I think always will be due to the topography. Clubhouse and Staff were A-1. For a Friday morning at 10am it was surprisingly crowded but, all Cleveland area courses are right now.

Didn’t really know what to expect. It had been many years since I played here.

Generally in good shape.It obviously needs some work as cart paths in rough shape in a few places. Could use some tree work especially on the narrowest holes which would speed up play, especially for the higher handicappers who tend to not be on line. Otherwise relatively open and good play speed

Course is getting in better shape. Greens are above average compared to some courses. Cart paths however are poor to horrible, but that’s a major capital investment.

Wasn’t a fan of being able to get tee times as a single golfer right behind a league. This league was very slow and no one would let me play through because it s was their league. Staff was very friendly but the pace completely ruined the fun. Course was in decent shape but lacks a lot of character

They have 3 holes on the back that are awful 13-15. Swampy marsh is where they are built. The other 15 holes are great

Great value for such a beautiful and challenging course. Staff is also very friendly.

The course is in great shape and has a character. Played on Friday afternoon and the course was busy. Only complaint was the lack of a ranger keeping things moving and having to stay patient through a 4 hr and 45 minute round. A side note, the patrons love playing music on the course. Second time I’ve been here and it’s prevalent. For those of you that play music, you may want to consider that everyone doesn’t share your taste in music or listening to it during a round.

First nine was reasonably paced but made the turn and at the 10th hole there were four groups on the same hole. Had to leave due to time constraints. Very disappointed as I was trying to enjoy an event with my son for Father's Day and had to only play nine after paying for 18
