Little Met Golf Course

Little Met is a short nine hole course, with three par 3s and one par 5, and most of the par 4s are quite short in length and fairly straight. Most of the greens are small and relatively flat, but a few a some extreme undulations. Notibaly the second has an extreme false front and the 7th is a Biarritz green. Little Met has slight elevation changes, but is very walkable. Fairways are unnecessarily narrow, but the hole corridors in the valley are quite wide for the most part. I wish they would take advantage of width and cut the fairways wider, as it was probably initially designed. No sand or water, only OB on left of last three holes.

It was designed by renowned Canadian golf course architect Stanley Thompson, who designed Cleveland area courses Sleepy Hollow, Big Met, Beechmont CC, and Chagrin Valley CC. Tucked away in a little valley under Fairview Hospital, it is very isolated, even from the rest of the Rocky River Reservation.

Conditions were good, greens and fairways were firm but not hard. We played in just about 2 hours, which was great considering it was a holiday weekend afternoon. There were not family tees, I think families are steered more towards Mastick Woods down the road.

Despite the wet Spring so far, Lil' Met is in good shape -- tees, fairways, greens & rough. Trees seem to be trimmed back (or died?), although the leaves are still coming in. I played here 35 years ago, and it keeps getting better over time. My partners and I enjoyed it.

As a beginner this is a very nice course, very nice staff an pretty decent fairways an greens

enjoy playing it we be back.

This course is always wet and therefore they do not cut the roughs and fairways as they should. You can lose a ball in the rough just off the fairway.

The greens are slow and bumpy.

This is a course for beginners, but polished golfers will fell they have wasted their money and the time they invested to play.

great time with my son. a little cool so there was no one else on the course. great conditions thou. fairways were trim and pretty much leaf free.

Decent, inexpensive golf course. Depending on the time of the week/day you play, the pace is pretty quick.

The course is own by the metropark system, so lots of trees. Easy course, not long, no sand. Greens are slooow. Very enjoyable course.

All Metro courses that I have played in the Cleveland area have been in excellent condition. I would like to see more offers on this site for discounted play. I would play the courses all lot more.

unless you get out at the right time it is almost always backed up. Lots of intermediate and novice golfers. Many don't know or understand golf etiquette. I was stuck behind a twosome, that was behind a single, that was behind another twosome but no one paired up to speed the play.

The fairways and greens were in great shape. The personell were very frendly.

Stars say it all in the ratings, just look at what the stars tell you. It is pretty basic and to the point.

Booked an hour before play. $5, you can't beat it.

Course in great shape. Wide open fairways quickens pace of play.

No professionalism what so ever. Come and go as you please. Warning there are true beginners. You can expect to wait upon your actual tee time. The rough is high you can say goodbye to a few balls. Metroparks needs to step their game up.

nice course for the money you meet nice people
to play with

We had set up our 4-some tee time a week ahead on GolfNow and even prepaid. We show up 20 min early ready to go to find no riding carts are available. By the time we got carts, the starter puts us 4 groups back, meaning we started 45 min late. When asked, the course booked a large group/outing but never updated their online tee times, leading to a large backlog. The large group barley kept pace, which I expected better as the Metroparks usually pride themselves on keeping all groups to a specific pace (15 min/hole avg). Our pace was 20 min/hole. I will be heading to Big Met or Sleepy Hollow next time.

Booked for 4:07 and I misjudged my trip time so I was 1/2 hour early, and I got out right away at 3:45.
Finished at 5:15
Very good

Just a sad metro parks course, tee time was at 6:30 PM, carts had to be back by 8:00 PM... I prefer to play where I can ride a cart at least until sunset that is poor course management, and there was leagues teeing off till 6:25 PM... Terrible deal if you can even call that a deal, I may stop using golfnow after this experience

Except for losing two balls in open pipes on the fairway the round was enjoyable. It is located in the Metro Parks and well laid out. I am concerned that someone could catch their foot in the open pipe holes and injure themselves.
