Enjoyed the Round, but Tough

As avid golfers, my wife and I try and play twice a week on all types of courses. This was our first time seeing this course. Cleveland Country Club was tough. It was in very nice condition. The greens were extremely fast (I guess 11-12 on the stimpmeter) and undulating. They were fair, however. Some holes are very difficult. Some cart paths could use some work. One big complaint. No Hot Dogs in the pro shop. Those are for members only upstairs. Still very enjoyable round and we'll go back to play it again.

God's great outdoors

There's no better way of enjoying the beauty of nature than on a beautiful golf course. Thank you God for the beauty of nature and letting me enjoy that beauty which is displayed in and around this golf course. Thank you for the really nice people who work here and who made me feel really welcome. I hope I can return here to enjoy another fun round of golf.

Challenging course

Fairways, roughs and sand traps in good condition. Greens held the approach shot, rolled true, were medium fast. Several greens with false fronts were not indicated as such on the cart pin position map.

Nice and Challenging

The course is in great shape and surprisingly fun but challenging. My first time playing the course and it was easy to get around. The greens were quick but rolled true. I will play it again.

Short but challenging course

Fairways in good condition. Rough was in good condition and heavy. Sand traps in excellent condition, best we have played in this area. Greens rolled true, were medium fast, held the approach shot very well. The back tees are very short. Several sets of tees make it a very short course.

Great course for a chance of pace.

First time playing the course and couldn't have been happier. Staff was very helpful and sent me off the back so I could get around quicker. Definitely a course you need to play a few times to know the lines off the tees because there are quite a few blind/semi-blind tee shots. Greens rolled fantastic with plenty of challenging undulation and speed. Bunkers were in great shape also. Really nothing to dislike about the course, though it was an odd but not stressful experience having to catch the traffic light to get back and forth between nines. Can't wait to get back and play again if they keep the times available for the public.

You want be disappointed

Great course. It's neat to know you are playing on a course 100 years old.course is in great shape. The 2nd cut off the fairway is nice and fluffy so it's great to hit off of.The green's are in amazing shape for this time of year and due to having very little rain in the area.the back 9 will challenge you due to the hills. They have recently opened it to the public which is nice. Take advantage of it while you can
