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.

Nice course tough greens
This course is challenging with difficult greens. The bunkers need work but overall this course is above average.
Great layout, greens and pace of play
Unfortunately, due to a pretty good downpour of rain the evening prior to my round the course was very, very wet. Bunkers were swimming pools and low spots of elevation had casual water.
But, staff was good, greens were well manicured and we got done in less than 4 hours

Challenging layout
Greens are tough. Lots of slope and accuracies a must. Fairways are well maintained and drained
Finishing 3 holes require stamina at the end of your round!!!

Terrific Course
First time we played Chardon Lakes and really enjoyed it. The layout was challenging and the course conditions were excellent. Staff was very friendly. Good value for the price. Will definitely return.

BUNKERS NEED ADDRESSED
Ive played here quite a bit over the years and course in generally in good shape only issue i had was the bunkers. Probably 70% of the traps have little to no sand in them. Staff was great and greens were fast. Id play again but they need to address the bunker issue.

BUNKERS NEED ADDRESSED
I have played here quite a bit the last couple of years and course is always in pretty good shape. My main concern is the sand traps, majority of them are dirt and need sand bad.I believe its hole #5 the traps on side of green are difficult to get of as there is hardly any sand in them mostly dirt. Other than that it is a good course.Staff is friendly and pace of play is good.

Great morning of golf.
All day rain day before. Regardless greens still played fast. Great layout. A must play course in northeast Ohio.
Fun, tough greens
Worth every penny of the $30 I paid through golfnow. Greens were tough, pretty fast and rolled true. It’s worth the drive.

First time.
Simple yet difficult course. Greens were fast. Only negative was dealing with someone on a riding mower every other hole at 1030am.
