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.

Greens good sand traps horrendous

Sand traps not at all playable. They need to put sand in them and maintain them. Greens were fine. A far cry from what this course used to be.

Slowwwwww play says it all.

Extremely slow play makes this course less than desirable.. Get rid of all the fairway bunkers. Tell the starters to loosen up as i did not like sitting in the golf cart surrounded by 24 other golf carts in the hot sun and told i was not to move whatsoever until they called my name.

Little Mountain never disappoints

It had been a few months since I played Little Mountain so I was eager to get back there. I had read a few reviews on various sites that indicated the course conditions were trending in a downward direction. I was pleasantly surprised to find the course was in fine shape. Sure there are a few bunkers that might as well be "ground under repair" because of their state of neglect. But a course with such a great design, mint fairways, greens that roll true and a staff that went above and beyond for me...I have no problem giving LM a good review. People need to come to grips that with todays economy, unless you're playing at a private course or paying $200 for greens fees, there are going to be a few warts on every public course. As I stated earlier, the fairways and greens were perfect. The staff was pleasant, helpful and genuinely appreciative of its customers. Little Mountain is a great course and I cant wait to get back!

Needs alot of work

Great layout,. I really loved the course. A lot of great holes. Many risk and reward holes. But the greens are so bad. Ball marks everywhere. The bunkers are mostly all washed out. The staff was very friendly. We arrived an half hour early and told we could tee off at that time. which was very nice .But for the full price they charged I would never pay it. The greens do not hold very well. The tee boxes were fair at most. And the rough was very spotty.. The course needs a major makeover.

Very slow...4 groups on same hole!

Good course...challenging greens....but pace of play was over 5:15. They had an outing on the course and would not make them play on pace...so lots of laughing, by them, unhappiness by everyone else. Four groups on the same hole on three different occasions. I will not return.

Always great

This course is always in great condition. Bunkers are still rough from all the rain but most are marked as under repair. Pace was a little slow as it took over 4.5 hours to play. We can usually play in less than 4. Overall an excellent course for the price.

Tough Greens

The course for the most part was in very good condition; some fairways and a couple of greens needed attention. My wife and I could have probably finished our round in about 3 1/2 hours except they allow singles on the course and we let some play through. We were a twosome and there was a twosome ahead of us and both of us let individuals play through. The greens have many undulations and are lightning fast. While I am not a super golfer, I took 26 putts on the front nine.

Nice Park

Little Mountain is a nice course, with a challenging layout. Lots of bunkers (some need some work). But if you are in Lake County and looking for a GOLF course, this fits. The greens are firm and quick, but are fair and roll nicely. The scenery isn't bad either-- makes for an enjoyable round.

Very nice, but not 5-star as touted

A beautiful layout with loads of potential. Lots of impressive homes along the course but all set back far enough so as not to be intrusive. Be sure to take in the view of Lake Erie on the distant horizon from the 17th tee box. Today this was a challenging course with very firm and fast greens (couldn't make a ball mark on them with even the most highly lofted clubs). Very hard to land and hold a green which certainly frustrated making any birdies if not pars. Pace of play was typical Sunday -- a bit slow and crowded with a high number of Sunday hackers which was augmented by an outing that was scheduled. We were a bit stunned that we got photo-copied score cards on plain paper at a self-proclaimed five star course charging $55 a round -- this was definitely a first. The staff was friendly and organized and kept tee times on pace as well as ushering through those who were making the turn. A couple of greens had bare spots that interefered with putting and many of the numerous bunkers had exposed rocks in them. Overall a great course with a few fixable flaws that just need some attention.

Exciting fun course

First time to play this course, glad to finally find a cheaper price on Golf Now. Design is beautiful layout and get ready for the bunkers. Must lay up and play it safe on many holes. I love a challenge and really enjoyed the game. Beautiful landscaping and course in great shape. A bit too much walking on the holes for me but would do it again.

Beautiful Setting - Challenging Course

Fast greens, deep bunkers and a diverse design combine to make this a great golf experience. Add to that a decidedly "Big Sky" feeling on Little Mountain and if it weren't for the views of Lake Erie you might think you were farther west.

This first time customer wants to go back for more.

5-somes allowed

Played this past sunday
Course was in decent shape - some bunkers still filled with water and rocks

Overall nice experience - except a 5-some was in front of us - which didn't really bother my group, but the group behind us was very impatient. I don't think they realize that we were waiting on the group in front of us. There was a ranger - not sure what he was doing to police pace of play, but he did tell us we parked the cart on a slope in the cart path which was prohibited. - Wasn't a slope - it was a bump.

great value

Got this course on golfnow for 17 bucks compared to 53 at clubhouse. greens were extremely fast. I felt like I never had a truly great birdie chance. a couple greens had burned out areas and need atttention. fairways a little wet, probably due to rain the previous night. overall great round. shot an 88 (43/45). Back is much harder in my opinion.

great course but the bunkers really need to be attended to

bunkers are in really bad shape which is a shame because other than that the course is in great shape but if you land in a bunker you might as well take it out so you don't ruin wedge hitting out of them.

This Course Is Outstanding!

Staff was very friendly and clubhouse was clean and inviting. The course was in incredible shape for the amount of rain we have had recently. Some tee boxes (on 3-4 holes) and a few fairway spots (on 3-4 holes) were wet, but compared to any other course this year, tee to green the course was in very nice shape. All of the other holes were almost perfect with the fairways allowing full roll out off the tee. The greens were in outstanding shape with true roll when putting and quite a few allowed spin with approach shots, even with as wet as it has been. 90% of the bunkers were either under water or washed out entirely and could not be played. We paid $29 for a $54 tee time.

A moderate to difficult course, a great challange!

This is a heavy played course in the area, due to condition, playability, amenities:(i.e. clubhouse and services) and overall experience. This is my third time at the course and definitely plan on playing more in the future. I would highly recommend this club and course to those in the area, and to those who plan on visiting, looking for a quality course and facilities!
