Located just 35 minutes from Cleveland, Little Mountain Country Club in Concord is known throughout the area for its bunkers. Deep hardly begins to describe them and they border both the greensides and fairways. Although the cavernous bunkers are challenging, they are strategically placed to provide a challenge for better golfers but there is still ample room for less advanced players. The intimidatingly steep walls go as deep as 20 feet below the putting surface, they are enough to scare even the most seasoned golfers. The layout has diverse mix of holes that require the use of all the clubs in your bag. Little Mountain Country Club finishes with a dramatic par 4 that is one of the golf course's most difficult holes. The five-star-rated Little Mountain is well worth the two-hour drive from Pittsburgh or Columbus.

Well maintained & beautiful scenery

The weather was cool and we had to stay on the cart paths because of all the recent rain. However, the course was in good condition. We all thought the course was laid out well and was very scenic with the lush fairways and all of the bunkers. The holes were fair and challenging.

Happy Golfer

Overall it was a great day. The course is very beautiful, however the greens did need some work. There were a few excavating issues around bunkers that they are in the process of mediating. If the greens and bunker issues are fixed, this will be one of the nicest courses in NEO.

Great track, greens were rough from being aerated.

Little Mountain is a great track. There are a gazillion bunkers around the greens and no, not every bunker was raked. (but that's a sign of the times these days) The greens had recently been punched and there was no warning of this on Golf Now! So that was a major disappointment. Staff was great. This is one of the better courses in the area to play but you better wait until the greens have fully recovered to enjoy it.

Our most sincere apologies for the conditions of some of our greens. As mentioned in our online tee time notes, we have received some winter wind damage from the sub-zero temperatures on some of our greens. We are currently working a plan including aerification and box seeding as well as use of temporary greens. This plan is being executed throughout the month of June with hopes of typical conditions by July. Please contact me directly at amberteetime@gmail.com if you would like more information

Great layout. Greens need time.

Let me open with my score. I play off scratch, shot 70. Playing from the whites (no one else would play from the tips) The greens were a disappointment. I know its early in the season but they were not good at all. Looks like half have been diseased. The rest of the course is in great shape (As always). This is one of my favorite courses in the Cleveland area and I will go back. When the greens pick up this place will be excellent as usual. Pace is a little slow but that is nothing new. If you get a good deal get on out there. I wouldn't pay more than 30 bucks to play yet. Once again, I love the course and facilities its just early for the greens. They are rough.

Not Good

I was very excited to play here from what my friend had told me, got there early and the staff rushed me and my friend on the corse and before we tee off a league of about 15 carts come driving up to the 1st tee. Before we were even are hitting the second shot, they were already driving into us. And the same thing for about 4 out of the 9 holes. On top of that we were always waiting on the group in front of us. Talk about horrible job of the starter. That's just the first thing, the corse was in very bad shape. By far the worst greens I have seen all year. All in all bad experience and will not return until I hear the corse is in the shape it used to once be. Do your self a favor and drive up the road to St. Dennis

Has Been

Played here yesterday for the first time since 2011 new to golfnow my buddy got me on here to sign up and saw you could write reviews. This course has just gone downhill since 08 I use to play here a bunch when I lived close by but since moved to Summit county. If the owners invested in the product they would see the light at the end of the tunnel. I could not believe how much worse the course is now.

My Favorite Course

It's my favorite course in the Cleveland area. The bunkers need a little work to get back to what they once were. They are repairing a few every year. I think because the fairways and rough are in such good condition that I actually hit a little better.

Can't wait to play it in the summer

The course was offering an early Spring special. Paid about $19 after taxes for 18 and a cart. Considering the winter we've had the fairways and greens were in really nice shape. Course layout is impressive and intimidating as there is a lot of sand and trouble! Only complaints would be due to a lack of planning on their part. I understand they probably just opened but the only bathrooms on the course were locked and there are houses all around the course. When it came to the pro shop bathroom, there was a sliver of a bar of soap laying on the counter. One guy was trying to run the pro shop and bar/food area. It was a chilly day and coffee would have been nice at the turn but it smelled like it was eight hours old. Likewise the hot dogs looked like they had been sitting on the grill all day. I'm sure that will get better as the season gets going but for a course of this caliber they shouldn't be counting on one guy to do everything.

Gem!!!

WOW!! What a great track. My first time playing LM. It is absolutely spectacular. Every hole is challenging. Even the par 3's while short are a challenge because of the contours and tiers of the greens. Greens were running about 10. Perfect surfaces. Some visible vistas that were just great.

This is the very best deal on Golfnow in my opinion. Little Mountain is a must play. Got it on a hot deal under $20 which made this my best golfing value for 2013. That includes several rounds at Firestone south!!

Do yourself a favor and GO!!

Read some of the other comments and I would agree with some that the bunkers need work. I was not in a single bunker all day so I failed to comment. My playing partner was in one or two and he had difficulty getting out.

great fall round of golf

Course in much better shape than earlier in the year. Dried out a lot and most of the bunkers are in better shape. Old cart staff continues to be rude and generally confused. Great day.

Overall great value, but....

Little Mountain is not the course it once was but still a championship course. Unfortunately, the bunkers have not been maintained in a couple years. There are plants growing in some bunkers, but there is not a single bunker (and there are plenty of them) that has been taken care of in quite some time. It's a shame too because Little Mountain is a fantastic course. The tees, fairways, and greens were nicely conditioned, and the greens were deceptively quick. But the bunkers really could use some immediate attention, as well as some small spots on several greens. I got a fantastic deal, so even with the maintenance issues, well worth the money.

No sand?

Looks like there isn't much money going into the course. This layout is loaded with traps but lacks decent sand. How could you have a greenside bunker with a 40 foot drop and NO SAND or very little? I'm a 7 and don't have this shot. The greens are fast but ballmarks everywhere and a some had damage. Won't go back.
