Lake/River at Fowler's Mill Golf Course

Fowler's is a great course, and for the rates right now, you can't find a better value. There is some course maintenance that needs done though. There are some bare patches in the fairways, the cart paths could use some work, and the flower boxes on 4 on the River Course are falling apart.

Fowlers Mill is one of my favorite courses to play. We drive over an hour to play it a couple of times a year. The course is well worth the drive. I will continue to make the trip for as long as I can.

The first cut was not well manicured and more like deep rough. The greens had all been aerated and putting was a tad entertaining.

I've played Fowlers Mill many times and this was by far the worst the greens have ever been. It was obvious that they had been aerated about a week ago so I will give them another try later this year. They should tell you when you make a tee time about the aeration. I booked on Golfnow but the guys I played with reserved a tee time by phone and they were very upset nobody told them. Also, the carts have scorecards on them already but when I finished the first hole I found out it was for the wrong 9.

Loved my experience. Really good greens/fairways/bunkers. The rough was ok, the cart path is a huge pain but who cares.

For mid November the course was still in great shape. Didn't have to fight leaves, as long as you kept the ball in the fairway. The rate of play was very good. Overall a great day on a great golf course.

Played Sunday after a couple of days of rain. Didn't call ahead to find out if cart path only. Normal 4 1/2 round turns into 6 1/2. Nothing could be done about the time. It just takes that long when busy. Course was in great shape even with the rain!! Great people and course!! Just call ahead if you have time restraints !!!

Played the lake/river courses in record time(3hrs on Sunday). Fairways were in great shape and the greens were fast. Tee boxes were also in great condition. Truly one of the best values for the money in NE Ohio.

This is one of those courses where you would have to play or drive up to the fairway to see where you need to hit on a couple holes. I got paired with a couples guys that gave me the lines otherwise I think I would have got myself in trouble a couple times. Really good par 4's, tough par 3's and fun par 5's. Course conditions were fantastic and once the greens would be healed from aeration I'm sure that the would be awesome to put on. Unfortunately this course gets a fair amount of play pace was 4:30 hours for a threesome on a Friday early afternoon. The only major negative is price of food at the turn $5 for a gatorade and a candy bar, that's $2 dollars more than most every course around home. As far as the course it is a must play it is challenging, but it doesn't beat you over the head like some of Dyes other layouts.

Course was great but unfortunately they had a large outing and we were playing behind, slow pace, 5.45 hours for 18 too long.

Challenging, diverse round of 18. Very well maintained course with a beautiful layout. Played on a Tuesday afternoon and got through the round in 4 hours. Will definitely be back.

Great track that will make you use every club in your bag. Some holes you can bomb away off the tee and others are all about ball placement and leaving yourself an approach shot on a dogleg. Several risk/reward shots throughout the course. The greens rolled extremely well and were very fair. We played the black tees making for some longer holes so it may be better for some to move up to the silver tees. Then there's the iconic 4th hole and attempting to carry the entire water to the green. It's a fun course to play with many challenges. No wonder Golf Magazine rated it one of the top 10 courses in Ohio

The course was in great shape. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were very well maintained. Starter was very nice. Played as a single and there was a single and two-some behind me. Starter should have considered pairing us up as the pace was very slow. On every hole had to wait for the foursome to tee off and then hit 2nd shot before teeing off. 4.5 hours was way to long! On the bright side I found a lot of balls as I had plenty of time to shag balls on every hole.

Pete Dye gem. Great layout and perfect course conditions. It sets a high standard for NE OH courses. Easily one of the top courses in the area.

The course was beautiful. But I will never go back on a Thursday after work. There was a league in front of us. They were terrible. It took us almost 3 hours to play 9 holes. Would come back and play but not on a Thursday.

Had a great time. Course was wet and cart path only but it had rained a ton before.

Fowlers was in great condition and as challenging as ever, which made fo an enjoyable day.

I must admit, having a Pete Dye designed course less than an hour from my house is a privilege. It's a great layout, and challenging.That being said, I have mixed feelings because I used to play this course regularly 20 or 30 years ago. After it was purchased by American Golf, rates almost doubled. It's been under corporate administration since then, and frankly I was underwhelmed. The fairways and greens were in good shape. We're in the middle of a 2 month drought, and despite that, the course was generally in good shape. But...

Around some of the greens, if you missed the putting surface, you could find yourself hitting off of more crabgrass than real turf. There were weeds, crabgrass, and nutsedge growing in the bunkers. Use some weed killer and do some weeding. For the price they charge, I expect more. For Pete's sake, it's a Dye course! Shame on you for not keeping it in the shape it deserves.

So, that's why I can only sort of recommend this course.

We played River/Maple. This course does not belong in NE Ohio but I'm glad that it is. It reminds me of something you would see in Myrtle Beach or on vacation. This is hands down the nicest and one of the most unique courses in the area. From the range to the greens, everything was top notch and in great shape! Of the three, 9 hole sections I think Maple is probably the least extravagant in terms of layout but still challenging and in as good of condition as the other other two tracks there. The staff was extremely professional and polite which is rare to find these days. Definitely worth every penny and I can't wait to go back!
