Chardon Lakes Golf Course
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.

Good Value on a beautiful day
Enjoyed a relaxed 18 w/ my son. The course was green and the greens were firm. With only a few golfers on the course we played in 3 1/2 including a pitstop for lunch.
Perfect playing conditions
Course was in excellent shape and what friendly people who worked there. Couldn't ask for a better round . Highly recommended.
Great Value
This course is close to private country club quality. The normal rates are a bit highish, but the deal we got online was excellent. My son is 8 and played the forward tees. They have 4 sets. There has been a ton of rain lately, but they were letting carts out on the front and it was in fantastic shape. The greens were near perfect. Pace of play wasn't too bad for a Saturday. Highly recommend this course.
Cracking course
Course is in fine condition. I played this course a year ago for the first time and decided to give it another go and I'm glad i did. This course has the feel of a private country club with out the snobby atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The course is a challenge but is not impossible to play, it gives and it takes. I love the challenge and the set up, it makes you consider your drive wether to take driver or 3 wood or iron, a very risk and reward course. Greens were perfect. Loved it, will be back!
Excellent condition
Played as 3some. Course in excellent condition. Would play here again but kept having single players catch our 3some and it seemed rushed despite our pace of play.
Good course good deal
3 hour round; greens quick, challenging course with only a few holes that are tough on first timers
Great day for fall golf
Had a great time with my six year old! Although he wasn't playing the staff treated him very well. Thanks!
Great value
Course was in good shape even though the greens and fairways had been recently aerified. Very enjoyable course with a good mix of holes from realitively easy to challenging. Will definitely play again.
Great track.
This is a very fun course, and quite challenging. Good condition great value.
Same Old Chardon Lakes
I used to play this course for a golf league. We left and now play St. Denis. The staff at Chardon Lakes was rude, and the course was okay, but overpriced and overrated. I played a quick nine tonight for nostalgia - nothing has changed in five years. There are plenty of great courses in the area to choose from, but I won't try this one for another five years.
Excellent course layout
Many interesting hole layouts. Length from white tees very manageable for 12 hdc golfer. Greens very fast, true
Challenging greens but in excellent condition
Pace of play was worst I ever experienced. We started a little before noon and caught the 11:00 group by the seventh hole. They failed to let us play through and no rangers on the course. The result was hit and wait 5 minutes between shots. They need rangers on the course who monitor pace of play. It seems that many courses in northeast Ohio are unaware of the PGA attempts to improve pace of play. Other than that, this course was excellent.
Very Nice Course
2nd time playing there this year. Course both times was in great shape. Pace of play was fantastic and it was one of the nicer Saturdays weather wise we have had in awhile. Staff is great, clubhouse is decent. You can always get a good rate on golfnow for this course even when it's not a "hotdeal".
Chagrin Falls player
The course was in fantastic condition. Pace of play was spot on. This is a course you have to know, to take advantage of the layout. A lot of blind shots and holes forcing you to lay up. The greens were in perfect condition and were VERY fast and most had a lot of slope to them forcing you to always play below the hole to promote an up hill putt. This is especially where you HAVE to know the course to score well. It was a great day.
nice country golf
got here due to hotdeal out in the country,like a country club ,course well maintained and plays long from the black tees,will definitely be back well worth the drive.
Chardon Lakes
Good experience. Only downfall is that the starter is very aggressive, trying to get you to tee off before your designated time.
nice course
Lots of wet weather made the course a little more difficult than it should have played (cart path only), although the greens weren't as fast as they probably would normally have been.
Nice course, won't hesitate to play it again. Well cared for and maintained.
This course is challenging for all golfers
Greens were extremely quick and the pin placements were really difficult..
It was overall a great round .... weather and course were really great.
NICE GEM
nice course even after all the rain was pretty dry they take really good care of it
