NEEDS A RANGER

It was a gorgeous day, I've played this course before and had great expectations. There were just 2 of us and it still took 5 1/2 hours! Our tee time was set for 11:25 and we were pushed to go out before 11:00... then waited 10-15 minutes on each tee box. They definitely needed a ranger to keep everyone moving. As for the course the greens and fairways were great, course is in pretty good shape until you get to the tee box... awful! Uneven and a little torn up, I will not make the hour trek to pay over $60, for those tee boxes and pace of play. However, the hot dogs at the turn are pretty awesome. I did mark that I would recommend the course, only if you haven't played it yet. Great track, just needs some subtle improvements to put it over the top.
#1.. Get a Ranger!!

one of the best courses in ohio

I know this course is rated in the top 10 of public courses in ohio, but I truly believe it should be top 3. I played in the early spring and by far the best greens I have played so far and probably the best I played all last year and this isn't even summer greens yet. Challenging par 3's and nice par 5's that are reachable in 2 but are challenging with the trees in way of doing so. I am really looking forward to playing again this summer for the right price ( which has been the only reason I don't try to play here more often). Overall I was very impressed with Fowlers Mill's River/Lake course.

Great course but skip the snack bar,,,

Would have given it 5 stars but the service and the food was horrible at the snack bar, especially the service.
Nice young lady.. but didn't have a clue on how to make a turkey sandwich.. a turkey sandwich to Heaven's sake.... Was charge $7.50 for 1 slice of turkey, a piece of cheese, tomato, lettuce on a burnt hamburger bun.

Challenging every time

Played this course on 9/26/2013 on a beautiful early fall day. The course was in good shape from tees to greens and the pace of play was steady although not fast. Every time I have played this course I come away realizing just how tough it is - Pete Dye does not disappoint- the fairways are often tree-lined, there any many bunkers placed strategically throughout the course and the greens are well protected. If you decide to play here, expect to be punished!

Beautiful, Challenging Course, starter was less than welcoming

Went out to play on a Sat. at around 2:30 with a foursome. Two newer golfers and two experienced but below average players (one of which is me). Course is set out in a beautiful area, with many long challenging holes. Only complaint was that the starter was kind of a jerk. He walked up to us and said "today is a bad day to bring those girls with you" before we started our round. I thought this was a little rude considering they were not that busy and we had already intended on playing a scramble. Other than that we had a great experience. Only thing to note is that this course is very LONG, and took a long time to play because of this. Pace of play was great as we had noone in front of us on the back 9.

Fowler's Mill

Very nice course with a challenging layout from the tips. Long and short par 4's as well as some tricky tee shots and split fairways. Very pretty course. Greens are firm, fast, yet fair. A course worth playing.

My new favorite course.

This is an awesome golf course. A Pete Dye gem. Risk/reward on almost every hole. The course conditions were immaculate. (I played the Lake/River 9's) Play was a little backed up on the first 9 holes as an outing was still finishing up. The back 9 played in normal time. Greens and fairways were near perfect. The rough was penal but not "stupid." If you haven't played here yet then you owe it to yourself to give it a try. You will not be disappointed. On a side note...there was no cart girl on 2nd nine, she had gone home for the day I guess. Seeing that it was really hot and I was thirsty as can be, I called the course from my mobile phone and asked if someone would bring my partners and I some water. They brought it right out to us. I appreciate that kind of service.

Nice Course

I like playing here, but for me its not very memorable. There are a few standout holes, but a few are kind of boring. Overall fairly challenging, especially the fast, undulating greens. If you can play this course for under $40 go for it, but sometimes their prices are too high.

Interesting and very different design

Had a lot of fun playing Fowlers Mill and would recommend it. Many unique holes requiring exact shots in order to stay out of trouble. A couple of Par 4's required you to have the ability to shape a tee shot to even possibly make GIR. The course had some long Par 3's but all were very reachable with some control. The only negatives for this day of play was the pace of play, it took us 5 hours and 15 minutes to complete a round, which was not expected for a Friday afternoon. I will play there again.

whats not to like about Fowlers Mill!

Simply one of the best golf courses in the Cleveland area, Greens were in fantastic shape. Tees and fairways were pristine, the only complaint I had was the 2 groups of front of us who didnt have much of a clue on how to let faster players thru but the course was flat out gorgeous!

very good course

this course requires thinking, its not a bang 'em type of course. you must place your shots to score well. hitting the fairway isn't good enough. conditions are well above average and there's nice scenery. it's Pete Dye's first course and worth a play for that reason alone.

It is a well maintained course with a lot of challenges.

One of the more difficult courses in NE OH that I have played but fair - good shots are not punished. The greens present challenge even on short putts.

fowlers mill

This is a great track. Played it for the fourth time on June 8. Fairways and greens are in great shape. Course itself is an ok challenge but the greens will test even the purest putters.
