Chardon Lakes Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Chardon Lakes Golf Course opened as a nine-hole course in 1931. The original layout was designed by Bert Way, the same creative mind behind two of the popular golf courses in Ohio: Firestone North in Akron and Mayfield C.C. in Lyndhurst. The second nine was added in 1963. The golf course has a traditional layout with challenges that have withstood the test of the time. It has hosted several qualifiers for the Cleveland Open, most recently in 2001. Many famous players have tested their luck on the golf course, including Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, whose score of 67 from the back tees is still the course record. Mature trees line Chardon Lakes Golf Course's fairways and there are more than 40 bunkers strategically placed along the large, undulating greens. There are also water hazards on 11 holes.

Wonderful Layout
Pace of play other than weekends is normally very quick. Today Was especially so. Perhaps Because I didn’t notice the greens had been listed as aerated on the golf now listing. Having said that it’s still a great course. Someday I’ll finish it strongly..

Slowwwwwww
Grounds crews were still out at 1:00 with noisy blowers
A 4 hr round felt like 6 Waiting on every shot
Need rangers to get the seniors moving
Or get the mix of 4 some and pairs right
Not the first time this happened
Course however was in great shape and always a challenging layout

Awesome course.... very challenging..... great shape
The course is in great condition.... very challenging..... some very tough Holes.....the staff was very friendly...and the girl for food service is pretty and was wonderful.....she had a cheeseburger with bacon waiting for me when I finished the front side.... just a call on the ninth tee...... definitely a course to play if you enjoy a challenge..... few tight holes.... greens are pure but don't break as much as you see..... usually...lol

Hi PHSOPKO, thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at Chardon Lakes Golf Course.
Always a pleasure
Wonderful layout that challenges you with every stick in your bag. Greens were in excellent condition, not exceptionally fast yet not slow either. Course conditioning was good, though fairways were reasonably tightly mowed, not a lot of bounce on drives (though we did play while dew was still on the course, not on the greens). Friendly staff.
We played 18 in a cart in 2 hours and 50 minutes and two twosomes a head of us were like rabbits. Nice way to play the game.
Hi bobarzi, we truly appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team of your experience, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Chardon Lakes Golf Course soon!
Nice track
Here visiting from California. Got great deal on Golf now. Course was in very good condition. Greens were fairly fast and rolled well. Very fun layout that will test your game. For bigger hitters, from the silver tees, driver will not be an option on several holes. But still will test your layup. Recommended. Played in 4 hrs 30 minutes as it was full. Not sure if this is always the case but my guess is yes as people were often looking for their balls
