Chardon Lakes Golf Course

I love this course, but slow play can be an issue. This most recent time was really bad. They completely overbooked the course or something, and it took us 1.5 hours to get through he first 2 holes. Every tee box there were 2 foursomes in front of us. We were on pace for a 9 hour round. Finally things started moving, but then stalled again around hole 15. On the par 5 number 17, there were 4 groups playing the hole at the same time - 1 on the green, one waiting for green to clear, 1 sitting at their drives, and us at the tee box. The total round was around 6 hours.

Barring these issues, it is a wonderful course. They keep it in great shape, its challenging, beautiful, and I will play there again. I just hope they fix the slow play issues for the future.

The pace was pretty slow on the front nine but picked up by the back. Overall the course was in great shape just wish that it would have been a little quicker.

A few easy holes, but many with narrow fairways. You can use every club in your bag. It is a sometimes fun and sometimes frustrating course.

Never played before, and would go back again. Course was in good shape. Greens rolled well but were very slow. This was probably because of the rain that came through over night. Course doesn't drain all that well, but it was maintained. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was slow, but only because we had a group of duffers in front of us. Layout was varied; some open holes, tight holes, short holes, long holes. Not a huge variety but wouldn't call it one-note. Though the course is called Chardon Lakes, there is not a lake on the entire course, which I found odd. Rough was hard to hit through when wet. A good challenge without being overly difficult.

Very challenging from the black tees, but playable. Regular tees still very good. Very Nice course!

Although there was nothing spectacular about this course, it was a very pleasant afternoon . Conditions were very good, long enough to be a challenge to me and flowed nicely from hole to hole.

I would put this course in the top 5 in the Cleveland area. It is very well maintained, not extremely difficult but definitely challenging and the green fees are very reasonable.

The day started with a 2 hour frost delay,So play was slow.
None the less,The course was fun,And worth the time.

I would recommend this course to everyone. It is a really nice place to play.

I enjoyed playing Chardon Lakes, but if you get frustrated easily this isn't the course for you. The greens are fast and challenging and there are a lot of tight landing areas. It was also a little bit on the pricey side. It was $50 for a round, which felt a little bit high. In fairness, the course was very well maintained (with the exception of a couple of sand traps), so that could account for the price. The staff was friendly and the pace was quick. I always love playing courses in Chardon, because they're beautifully cut into the woods, not surrounded by streets and houses. I'll probably play this course again, but it's not my first choice as a fairly new golfer. I usually shoot in the low-mid 90s, I shot a 97 here and took the liberty of one mulligan (I never use mulligans or breakfast balls, so this was different for me). If you're an above average or excellent golfer, check this course out. I think it's geared more towards you.

We were able to tee off earlier and finished in a reasonable amount of time. Greens were consistent. Need to get the fairways a little lower. Had a great time

Played Chardon Lakes on 5/10/13. Got a fantastic deal on Golf Now. The course was in fantastic shape. The rough was thick and high which made for tough scoring. CL has a lot of tight holes so accuracy off the tee is essential. The staff was great.

One of the prettiest courses in Northeast Ohio. In great condition. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, we got rained out so did not get to finish. Will definitely golf there again.

The course is in very nice shape and the staff is great. The drainage is slow, though, and it was cart paths only even though it hadn't rained in over 24 hours. So call ahead for the cart rules if you have trouble walking. You may be surprised that it is cart paths only on the same day other courses have no restrictions. The greens are very challenging on this course. Nearly never a straight putt. Even though the greens are showing some discoloration, the surface is good. Overall, great course and a good value.

Not many people play this time of the year so pace was under my control. The green had healed well and fairways very green without leaves.

My golfing buddies had a fantactic day at Chardon lakes!! The staff was courtiouse and helpfull, the course was in great condition, weather was perfect for fall golf in Ohio.

The course was in great shape! The customer service was second to none! Met one of the owners in the parking lot who was as gracious as anyone.

I played the course on a very windy Sunday afternoon booked thru Golf Now.

We had a great round because the course was well cleared of leaves and other tree debris. The greens are very good and true, however, you need to stay below the hole on most of them because a downhill putt stroked too hard can lead to an 8 on a par 4.

Nice. Course pricy so I always use golf now discounts.

Very good shape although "cart paths" on some holes. It plays a little tight so a variety of shots needed. I play it down in the rough and it is dense. Very nice greens.
