Regulation Eighteen at Shawnee Hills Golf Course
About
Shawnee Hills is home to two different golf courses, an 18-hole regulation course and a nine-hole, par-3 layout. The 18-hole course has a front nine that plays across gently rolling hills accented with water hazards while the back nine presents a different set of challenges with more dramatic hills covered with forests of mature pines, maples, and oaks. The scenic Deer Lick Creek also runs alongside the back holes. The second half of the golf course definitely has more of a Carolina-feel to it while the front nine is more like a Florida course. The back is a bit tougher than the first half of the course, but wide fairways throughout make it a fairly forgiving layout overall, though the golf course boasts what may be the toughest hole in the Cleveland Metroparks, the par-4 fourth. This dogleg left hole plays uphill and demands accuracy with a line of trees on either side.

great greens
Beautiful layout through the woods. Exellent greens
Great Cleveland Metroparks course
Shawnee Hills is a fantastic course that always plays a challenge because of the tight holes that are tree lined. The greens were spectacular and rolled very well. I really enjoyed how kept the fairways were. The rough played to be more difficult because of how wet it was and they had not had a chance to mow so it added some more challenge to your greenside shots. The starter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
I'd go back
Fun course with some real challenging moments I didn't have my A game on the front so I am not sure I can completely speak to the difficulty. The back nine actually seemed easier overall even though two of the three hardest holes on the course great you within the first three holes of the back. I really like the course and would go back. Pace of play was a bit of concern like so many of the Metropark courses., but our last couple holes moved pretty well.
Good course
Good course for a metro parks public course. The hot deal was worth it, definitely not worth the regular price.
Good layout and a challenging yet playable course. Biggest complaint was they had rangers driving around all day and were there almost every hole. They were distracting and served no purpose
Course in exceptional shape considering the amount of play
Other than the starter being a PitA the rest of the staff was great. The pace of play on front 9 is somewhat slow due to the volume of golfers. Greens, fairways and tee boxes are better than any course I have golfed this year! Awesome course but wish they would let carts get closer to the bag drop.
Shawnee Hills
It was an excellent experience from booking through the final putt. The course was in amazing shape, the staff was friendly and if I could only hit the ball a little straighter it would have been a perfect afternoon.
Nice park course
Have not played this course for many years but it is well maintained municipal course cuts through the woods beautifully and greens were exceptional
Course was in excellent condition and staff was very friendly
I have played close to 20 courses this year and the greens were by far the best of any course I have played! The fairways were also in great condition. The grass on the tee boxes was in better condition than most greens I have played this year. This course is a hidden gem! Please note since this is a municipal course it gets alot of play so pace can be slow. That makes the exceptional course conditions just that more remarkable!
Fun Course for the money!
Overall fun course, driving accuracy is a must on the front but the back 9 opens up quite a bit, almost like 2 different courses. Some challenging holes but still came away with an 83!
Great pacing
Was able to tee off a little ahead of schedule. Pace was excellent. Not over booked.
Very Nice Course. Great Staff
The staff were especially helpful.
Good course, bad May weather, needs some rangering
Gave the course conditions average due to the wet weather. Greens were very slow and bumpy due to recent aeration and inability to mow them due to the extremely cold and wet weather in mid May. Needs Rangers that will enforce speed of play. Recently played as a twosome and a threesome in front would not let up play thru. We caught them on the 7th hole when they started about 45 mins ahead of us. Only time they hurried is when they moved to the 10th tee. They played as a twosome and still made it a death march. Ranger knew about it but did not say anything. Staff is very courteous.
Shawnee Hills in great shape
This course is in excellent shape - fairways are great and greens just coming back from aeration. Staff is friendly. Great place to both be challenged and have a moderately difficult round depending on the tees used. Back nine more challenging than front. Gorgeous scenery.
Spring time golf
Course was soft greens just aerated but a nice first 18 for this season
Great course but didn't tell golf now about aeration.
Great course layout. Fairways could be cut a bit shorter. They neglected to inform golfnow they had aerated, so that was disappointing. Other than that, enjoyed the round.

The back nine on this course requires precision shots. Challenging.
Good First Day Out
For being early in the season, the course was in good condition. Greens and fairways were well maintained. Although there were some wet areas on the fairways (not a big deal with the amount of rain we had seen the few days prior). When the course dries out it's a great place to play. It's a good course for beginners.
The driving range and chipping/putting green were great as I hadn't played since December.
Good for intermediate level
The staff at golf now probably made a mistake on my bill. I use an award that entitle me to pay a Hot Deal and get one free. While the hot deal shown was $20 for 18 holes w cart by booking 2 players. However, the bill I paid to Golfnow turned out to be $40.98. I could not figure out the amount Golfnow charged me. Now a staff at Golfnow. That Golfnow should clarify, or correction should be made !
