Type Public
Par 71
Length 6366 yards
Slope 115
Rating 69.7

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.

Good value for price...

Very similar to other Cleveland Metroparks courses - reasonable price, decent layout, but a bit on the crowded side.

This course is great.

It had rained before we played. But, it was fine to play and there were not many people due to the rain. So, we enjoyed it a lot.

Good practice facility, course in decent shape for early spring

Greens were a little slow, I was told they were to start to aerate
all greens in the next couple of weeks. A good rolling would have made the putts run truer.

greens are fast

The fairways and greens are in pretty good shape. The areas around the greens are a little rough and chewed up. All and all beats being at work:)

Challenging but not too difficult. Nice elevation changes. In really good shape for this early in the season.

I always like playing this course. Gets a little too busy on weekends and after work like all of the Metroparks courses

Nice course for a quick round

Lousy weather conditions hampered any decent scoring ability.
Course was in surprisingly good shape considering the weather
of early spring.

One of my top courses

These people believe in their customers. We were the only group on the course on a rainy December Sunday.
The course is honest and somewhat easy, with generous fairways, and almost no sand. At 6100 yards, seniors have a chance to be on the greens in regulation.
The course was in great shape for the time of year.

Scenic and Challenging

Course is well maintained, usually fairly crowded, but a great test, especially the back nine which is tighter with more elevation changes than the front.

This course has a good selection of challenging holes

This course was in great condition when I played it. It passes my #1 criteria for a course; the greens roll true and are on the fast side for a public course. I like the variety of the holes, they offer good challenges for golfers of all skill levels.
