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.

Overall pretty good.
Great shape, especially for the time of year. Would be nice if you could take the cart to get your bags in the lot. Also, the hold plaques are nowhere near the cart path when you pull up to the tee box.
Staff was great, though!
Visiting from houston
Was a cold day with light rain/mist throughout the day. Course was pretty empty due to weather. First 9 were pretty straight forward. Back nine more interesting. But over all really beautiful as this is nestled in the Bedford reservation. Course is in great shape. Really enjoyed my day and would highly recommend.
Nice course
There is nothing to review, all aspects of the day was exellent.
Great Course
Fun course with great layout, players in front that were comically slow did not offer to pass, but the course staff isn’t at fault for this.
Glad to be playing
This course was crowded since it was 70 degrees in March. Groups were full but kept the pace pretty well. The biggest problem was the greens had just been aerated, so there were alot of bumps and sand. So greens were very slow. Wind was quite brutal, so the greens were very fast with the wind. So trying to figure the greens eas tricky.
Enjoyable Course - Tough Weather Conditions
Was great to get out in late March to start the season but we ran into a wet and cold day, making conditions tough.
Overall enjoy the course layout and complexity of some holes.
Pace of play was not an issue as we finished 18 holes in a little over 3 hours with a 2some. There was no one in front of us or behind us due to the weather.
Overall, I would recommend.
First time out this year
Friendly staff . greens were just airiated so they were not great. If my partner would have showed up on time we wouldn't have got stuck behind slow players . that's why the pace was slow . still love the course but the prices could be better .
Great shape
Course was in great shape for this time of year. I admittedly expected that, but only because the staff at Shawnee always does a great job. A treat to be golfing in NE Ohio after Thanksgiving!
This golf course design will certainly test your game!
Every golf club in your bag will be used at some point on this both challenging and enjoyable golf course.
Always a treat
Always enjoy playing here. Pace felt a bit slow but honestly was not that bad once we saw what time we finished. Appreciate the effort made by the grounds crew to blow the leaves off the course. Blessed to have such a great day in November and the course was every bit as nice as the weather was.
