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.

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.

One of the nicer courses in N E Ohio.
Nice layout, well manicured, and very challenging. Always in great shape. Like a country club without the pretension.

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.

Wowza!
Recommended by the staff at a nearby course that we also liked. This course is great. Super fast greens , even when wet. Strategic shot choices on most holes. I was glad we had the cheat sheet. 16 through 18 are a real challenge. We played Silver in wet conditions but would absolutely love to come back and try the tips in warm and dry conditions. Many of the back tees were from really cool places. Seemed like a much more expensive proposition than it was. . We'll be back!

Great Course
I play this course often. I really think it’s the best maintained public course in Northeast Ohio. It is always immaculate. Trees are trimmed, greens are smooth, carts work. Staff is over friendly, and always accommodating. Small snack bar, but the food is good.

Wet course, but enjoyable
Course was wet, but greens and fairways were well kept. Rough was difficult because of height and wetness. Cart paths had so many potholes, it was almost dangerous. Course would be much prettier if paths were repaved. Was by myself, so played very fast
