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.

Too tough
Tough tee's, pins were in Sunday placement on slick green. Every putt would roll right off the green if missed. Not an enjoyable round even when playing well
Terrible staff experience
Course is fine and wasn't overly slow. However, possibly the worst people running the desk. The first problem they yelled at us for being out on the course too long even though we played in under four hours and were ridiculously rude. The second time I booked an 18 hole tee time that they then said we couldn't have because it was too late in the day. They then let the group in front of us make the turn. Good course but you have to deal with terrible people.
great day
Course in very good condition, greens extremely fast and challenging, some even seem unfair due to severe slopes and pin placements. Overall well worth the visit.
Tough Course
The course was in perfect shape. As always, you get above the hole. you pay! I like that they are going to a graduated cut in the rough. If you are at least a bogey golfer you should give this course a try otherwise you might want to select an easier course.
Not for beginners.
Very difficult. Tight fairways and VERY fast greens with incredible slope. Bring your 'A' game.
Be prepared to wait on most holes.Slow play.
I also found myself fixing a lot of ball marks.
Need sand in the bunkers, playing off the dirt cost me strokes. I'll be back, once more to give the greens another look.
This course is very narrow and has lots of challenges
The greens are very fast and sloped but in fantastic shape. The fairways are tight and the rough is very high.
Consistently Good
This course is consistently in good condition every year. Other courses seem to be fading but this one continues to be in great shape everytime we play it. For the value of golfnow price, $24, it is a great deal.
Enjoyable round
The course was in great shape. Greens in pretty good shape...just a few divot marks from the lazyass golfers. There are a few tough holes. Beginners might want to look elsewhere. Pace of play was always an issue when I played here in the past and it was this time as well. It wasn't busy and still took over 4 hours to play. If you haven't played here yet...you should try CL. I doubt you'll be disappointed. Hints: Put driver away on #3. You don't need it. Its narrow with woods on both sides. Same with #7. Its a short hole with an uphill approach shot. Just tee off with an iron or 5 wood and you'll have 120-140 left.
worked on greens recently
Looks like the greens were worked on an they are ok but inconsistent from one green to the next as far as how the ball rolls and speed of green. Other than that the course is in great shape
Beautiful course
It was very enjoyable playing this course. Great condition overall of the tee, fairways & greens . Will definitely be back again.
Excellent Course
Chardon Lakes is tough, but not overwhelming. The conditions are always good. The big differences between this course and other tough courses is condition and your lie. Many others never give you a flat lie. There are only a few holes where the trees are a concern, otherwise a good variety of holes.
Great Course
Course was in great shape! Great pace of play. Driving range was also in very good condition.
out of town visit
The course was perfect condition and greens were flawless. We played in 4 hr and day was all around perfect.
Gary
This is an enjoyable course to play and a good challenge (better to be accurate than long I'd say). It was in great condition and I highly recommend trying this course if you have not yet.
Worth the drive
A little far but worth the drive. They do a great job taking care of the course. Only complaint I had was on a hot day like it was (85 degrees), 2 of the water coolers were empty on the back nine and there was no beverage cart going around.
Golf

Fathers Day 2014
Couldn't ask for much better in terms of weather. 80 and sunny this past Sunday. Only drawback was the backup on the first couple holes. Can't really blame them as it was just a busy day. Everyone evened out after the 3rd hole anyway.
