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.

Great course. Slow play

I’m not the best golfer but the pace of play was so slow. It took over 5 hours to play 18 holes. First 9 was finished in less than 1.5 hours. The back nine was packed full of groups in 6 or 7 players. The two rangers in course rangers must have driven past at least 5 or 6 times with no warnings or pushing the players to play faster. Love the course. Great layout. Probably will come back but it’s going to be during the week.

Decent course

Enjoyed the layout of the course overall. Would play here again. One negative thing - We got in at 1:15 for the 2pm tee time. Hit the range and putting green and then waited at the tee for our start time. Then the starter let the 2:10 group out ahead of us for no apparent reason. We questioned him about it and he just said we need to arrive earlier? Very confused.

Highland

Played both courses over last 2 days. Not too bad for all the water we had. There are a few bad spots but the greens are in good condition. I expect this will get even better as it dries out.
