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.

Aeration this week

Greens have been having issues. Normally very fast and tough but with aeration a bit chunky. Hardly a soul on the course giving us a 3 hr round!

Chardon Lakes

Great layout. Greens were just plugged and sanded so putting was not the best. Rating would have been higher except for that.

Course in great shape

This course is always well maintained. Tee to green is moderately challenging but fair. Greens are fast with lots of breaks and slopes but rewarding when you make a lengthy one putt.

Slow round

Great course, they need rangers to maintain pace of play. No course monitoring.

Fun little course

This is a great little course! Pace of play was slow on a Sunday but that’s not surprising. Greens were in good shape and the course layout was interesting without being too challenging. The starter was great and took time to explain the greens and provide some tips. Overall, great little gem of a course!
