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.

Shawnee is a good component of the Metroparks group. it does need some TLC, especially as regards some of the trees which are starting to overhang the fairways and greens more than was intended, and they are hindering grass growth in some places where there should be grass. But overall I enjoy the variety of holes, the greens and fairways are reliably in good shape

Nice metro parks course

If had been awhile since I played Shawnee. The course had switched nines a couple years ago. The new front nine did speed up play but we played the back nine first. We got done in an hour and fifteen minutes minutes. We had to wait on the front nine but play did move rather quickly with mostly twosomes. The greens were aerated. I thought the rates might be lower considering the greens but they weren’t. Also in all it was a fun day.

Great round

The course was i great shape from tee to green. I found the fairway in excellent condition and the roughs full and easy to play out of. The greens had just be aerated but still were still running true. A couple of tee boxes were a little rough but still not bad. I would like to play this course again this year.

Course was in great shape, except for the greens, they were recently aerated. When booking a starting time online, whichever golf app you are using, it should be noted by the course if the greens are being or have recently been aerated. That should be a standard/ requirement.

One of the Best in NE Ohio

Shawnee Hills has come along very nicely over the past few years. It is well taken care of from tee to green. Highly recommend this course for all skill levels!

Horrible Experience

If you like a SHORT DOG TRACK.... With no PAVED cart paths and UNFRIENDLY STAFF then this is the place for you.

My “back” gave out on the 8th hole and had to sadly not finish my round. But I had paid for 18 holes. So I proceed to hit the clubhouse where I thought a 9 hole rain check would easily be obtained. 1st I’m told I can’t be served without a MASK. Didn’t need a MASK when I paid them for 18 holes of Golf (IRONIC). Lady said I could only get a rain check for 9 holes if it was RAINING.

JUST BAD BUSINESS IN MY OPINION.

Unfriendly

Good luck if you play there.
