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.

Beautiful
While most of the courses in the area are still recovering from a harsh August. This place looks immaculate. Give the head greenskeeper a raise. Fairways and greens were fuller and more consistent than carpet. Better than some of the higher cost places I have played in the past month. I'll be a regular here for sure.
Shawnee 18
Great value for your money. Course was in nice shape , but I felt the cart paths could use some attention.
Hidden Gem
As always, we love this course because well maintained, easy to reserve, perfect pace, some what challenge, great value for what we paid. Close to where I live. Just perfect course.
Stuck behind players with no idea about course etiquette or pace of play
After a nearly THREE HOUR FRONT NINE, I gave up and went home without playing the back. I was stuck behind 5 Foursomes of obvious cronies who could have cared less about anyone playing behind them. They were loud and slow and were taking nearly 30 minutes to complete each hole. Some of them even went ball fishing on the 8th hole-one guy pulling up at least 4 golf balls from the murky waters. There was one "Ranger" traveling about during all of this, but he obviously didn't make any comments to these unbelievably slow groups. Had he done so, this review would perhaps have never been written. My previous experiences (and there have been many) have been mostly favorable, but I will never again play here because I do not want to take a chance that a similar fate will await me. RANGERS; DO YOUR JOB--even if the golfers are friends of yours.
Nice course
Nice course , somewhat easy to play , par 4 are almost exactly the same yardage
Course in perfect condition!!!!!!
This is the second time I have played Shawnee Hills and this course was in great condition. The greens were well taken care of. The sand traps were also in nice condition. Hats off to the whole groundskeeper crew for keeping this course in great condition. There was a marshall moving about the course to keep up pace of play. Not a real tough track but has some nice holes and is very scenic. I will be back, along with my friends to play again !!
this. course os just ok
Will play here when other courses are unavailable.
Good shape
Good course, good value, fair track. Front 9 backs up bc par 3s are front loaded.
Good scene at Shawnee
Always nice to play this course. Greens were true and relatively fast. Recent dry conditions helped. Real nice track. Bit short but plenty challenging here.
Great time!
Shawnee has never looked better. The course is in excellent shape and managed by a good staff. Just a very nice course overall. There are better values at some surrounding areas though. $18 is fair however.
Awesome
Home course played a million times but continues to impress with excellent manicuring for a public course. Greens pretty fast and in great shape
Will be back, hopefully to play little quicker
Great staff, course in very good condition even with the amount of rain we have had. Greens in great shape. Just wish we saw a ranger on the course to speed play up. Played on a Tuesday morning, over 5 1/2 hours to play. Had foursome 2 groups ahead of us, very slow and would not allow groups to play through. Would have been nice to see a ranger pushing that group, none to be found.
Great course, great people, great price.
Despite the amount of rain we've had, the course was very playable. The people there were super friendly. And the price was definitely right. Well dawn Shawnee and the Cleveland Metroparks.
Great Conditons for the Price
Pace of play was fast for a Sunday afternoon. Course was in great condition, with the greens playing fast prior to some rain. Back 9 is more fun than the front, with narrower fairways and more elevation changes.
Great fun course for all ages
Course in great shape, which is playable to golfers of all abilities.
Perfect storm
Greens aerated and top dressed
Fairways and rough aerated not cleaned up
Course was wet like never seen a course that wet.
Luckily we had the first tee time and played in 2.5 hours.
Great staff
Rangers facilitated play and starter sent us out early.
This is the second best metropark course I have ever played
I booked a foursome through Golfnow.com for 22.00 ea 18 holes w cart for 12:30 PM tee off time We got there thinking we might be able to tee off early but the ranger said no. So we went to the practice green to due some putting and chipping at 12:45 PM we got the call from the ranger to go to the first tee. They we already 3 groups ahead of us. So we waited another 25 minutes before we got to tee off. the greens were very fast and we all missed a lot of birdies putts. It was the men against the boy I was on fire the first 9 holes with 3 birdies and one birdie from Rick we shoot a 31 on the front 9 and had a 8 stroke lead over them it was a different story on the back 9 my son got 3 birdies and Patrick got one so the lead was down to 4 shots and they just won't go away until the cut the lead to a one stroke lead for us going to the 18 hole they needed to make a birdie and we just needed a par and Rick did just that by putting in a 20 footer for par and the men beat by the boys by one slow play we were waiting at every hole about 20-25 minutes and the people behind us was shooting shots before we were on the green I said something to the ranger and he just left They have no yard markers on most of the holes with was had to tell your distance one group on the back nine got so mad at himself that he through his group club onto the other good that was uncalled
for because he could have hurt somebody. It took us 6.5 hours to play 18 holes you need the ranger to do his job by keeping up the pace rather then doing nothing at all Steve from North Olmsted Ohio
