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.

Not good
We received a refund, they sent out 4 groups of 4 kids walking in front of us. We would of been there over 6 hours. This is the second time this week this has happened, here and sleepy hollow. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes at sleepy hollow after the first nine we got a raincheck. If these courses are letting school kids go out they should block all those tee times. Will not visit a metro parks course again.
Shawnee Hills
Had a 1:00 Sunday afternoon tee time and finished in 4 hrs 20 mins. Greens were in good shape, but most courses are this year. There are some plain holes but also some really good ones - nos 4, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 17 are among the good ones. Staff is very friendly. Can't beat the value at Cleveland Metroparks courses.
Beautiful course
Been at this course plenty of times in the past few years. At sometimes such as early in the season the course isn't taken care of as well as it can be. But later in the season they really step up their game and make it a beautiful and quite fun course to play. If you're looking for a easier course to play as someone just getting used to the game or you're someone who wants to shoot that really low score you're looking for, Shawnee hills is for you.
Good metroparks course
The course has come a long way and is in real nice condition. Course is great for all skill levels with some challenging holes. A good place to play if you want to score low
overall review
The course was in pretty good shape. Except the holes where not cut properly. They almost seemed over grown. Not clean cuts. Which is dissapointingand frfrustrating. The starters do their job properly as well as thw inside staff. The rangers however will drive ya nuts. They seem to be hawking all over you. They will drive up in the middle of your swing and or just stare and watch you, which is really annoying when they can drive all over the course and not just seem to be stalking you. Other than that its pretty decent.

The condition of this course has improved over the last five years or so. It is in very good shape. It generally presents a good challenge but is not overwhelming for the average player. Fun to play this course.
Nice day on the course.
Played on a really hot day,but there are plenty of wooded areas to catch some shade, so the heat was not an issue at all.
Fairly simple layout with a few exceptions. Not overly difficult, or easy.
Greens were immaculate. Each green has a very subtle tilt to it, ensuring that almost every putt will break a little bit, but are still very fair and enjoyable.
Excellent course for the money.
Fairways outstanding shape
Front pretty much flat nice. ....I loved the back 9 I'm going in fall for colors in the tree's
Great course!
For the money, you can't beat the Metroparks courses. Not only that, but the staff was great and explained the rain check policy very clearly. It was raining pretty good when my tee time came up, but it passed and I was able to play without delay. The conditions of the course were really nice considering all of the rain. The maintenance crew were out working hard to keep the course looking nice and the rangers were out making sure people were staying on the cart paths because of the rain and not destroying the course. I'd definitley recommend playing here.
Excellent Service
All the staff was open & friendly.
The course is beautiful and surrounded in nature.
Easy enough for my wife, and challenging enough for me.
Love golfing at Shawnee!
Great conditions (both fairways & greens)
I've played here tons of times before and was highly impressed by the course conditions this time around. Both the fairways and greens were in the best condition I've ever seen. The course isn't entirely too difficult, but the fast paced greens made up for that and were the fastest I've ever seen them run. With GolfNow and most prices being $20-$25 range this course is a super great value for your $ and would recommend it to anyone.
good for seniors and novices
Though not a bad track, the course plays slow due to lots of seniors and novice golfers.
