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.

Alot of fun

The fairways and greens were in great shape but a lot of bunkers need work because all of the rain. We had a great day playing the course and we all look forward to playing this course again.

It was still a fun course to play

Major storm passed through the area the previous day and wrecked most of the bunkers which are a major feature of this course. Some areas were completed flooded out by the storm but the grounds crew did a pretty good job in making it playable. Perfect weather and still had a lot of fun on the course.

Needs work

Love the layout. Great mix of long and short par 4s, good variety of par 3s, and reachable par 5s make for a fun and challenging round. Greens were fast and smooth. Tees and fairways were ok, but there were lots of bare spots in the rough. The bunkers beyond terrible. They look like they haven't been maintained in years. NOT ONE bunker was playable. The ones that weren't completely under water were just mud pits with huge rocks. There was no way to play an honest round of golf without covering yourself in mud or destroying your golf club. For a course whose bunkers are so integral and abundant, there's really no way to overlook their condition. Paid $50 for a 10am tee time on Sunday. Normal rate is $64. For them to be charging full price with no prior disclosure as to the conditions borders on criminal. They would probably say that the present condition is a result of all the rain we've had. Well, I played at Boulder Creek last week, a course at the same price point whose also dealt with bunker issues in the past, and all the bunkers were PERFECT. It just goes to show that if the commitment is their, results are achievable. It really is a shame because, like I said, I really like the course. Windmill lakes, Shale Creek, The Quarry, and Boulder Creek are all similarly priced courses that I would chose over Little Mountain at this point.

Huge bunkers!

I love this course! Very challenging! The greens were tough. Some of the bunkers needed work (there are a ton of them so I can understand it must be a lot of work to keep them all in good condition)
The play was slow. It took us 5 hrs.

Good course for the $$.

Tee to green a very well maintained course. However, bunker's are subpar based upon quality or rest of the course. Specifically the bunker's are not well maintained and virtually impossible to keep maintained due to the steepness and depth of the bunkers. If rain occurs, the water will wash sand down steep slope of bunker. Pebbles/stones are excessive in bunkers. Although the bunkers are aesthetically beautiful, they need to shrink the size of the bunkers in order to improve the quality. Staff was friendly.

Great Value for one of the Toughest Courses - Cleveland Aea

Overall the course was in good to very good shape. Fairways are close to Country Club conditions; greens are very fast and give you a true roll; the cart GPS systems are old and not always working. Some of the sand traps need some work i.e. more sand or too many stones etc. Nice area outside the clubhouse to have a small meal and a beer after a round of golf.

not what it use to be

condition of course is disappointing. specifically, greens and bunkers are not in good shape. played here 2 years ago and course was beautiful. it appears that the upkeep of the course has slipped significantly. I paid only $22 for the round, and I would not pay more, if I ever go back.

Nice views.

Overall I was unhappy with the course. There were many holes with forced layups or drop offs where good shots turned out not so good. The greens held nothing, even high wedge shots. I would suggest another set of tees for championships, allowing the blue to play to around 6400.

One Of The Best

One of the best courses in North East Ohio. Very challenging w/ the largest, deepest bunkers you will ever see. Very scenic & fun to play. Must hit the ball straight. Beginners should stay away.

I thought the course was a great value for the price. I would definitely play Little Mountain again for the discounted green fees.

Private club feel

Variety. That's Little Mountain in one word. You'll hit wedge into one par 3. You'll hit hybrid+ into another. Holes that rise into the distance. Others that roll pretty steeply downward. It's an "every shot in your bag" kind of track.
The one constant is sand. Bunkers everywhere. Many of the greenside ones are 6 feet lower than the putting surface. It's a challenge. Unfortunately, some of those are beginning to show age. Several seemed pretty washed out.
Greens are huge. They roll like lighting. Breaks are subtle.
The course packs them in. Maybe people fall for the Jimmy Hanlan lure. Maybe it's the membership. At our 9:30 Sunday tee, there were players on every hole in sight, which meant pace of play is not all that favorable. Plus, there are many places on the course you just can't get close to with a cart. So you tend to walk a lot.
It's a gem overall. Try it. You'll want to come back.

The course is very interesting, good scenery and beautiful holes.

We had a very enjoyable round of golf. It was a bit slow that day. There was an outing in front of us. We really like the course and the beautiful holes.

Good but not great for $52

For cart path only played in 4 1/2 hours. I was glad to play once. Course was nice, but for $52 the course has to knock my socks off, which it did not do. Bunkers were horrible. Carts girls were out in force. Staff was very nice. An average premimum course. Would play again if I( could get a cheaper price

Nice course....

but needs to pay attention to minor details. Bunkers were beat up, rough was patchy (my fault, should've hit more fairways), just some minor details, Nice holes overall. 5 par three's kind of stinks.

beautiful layout

One of the most scenic, visually appealing courses in area.Challenging layout with most holes surrounded by very deep bunkers.Fairways are beautiful,greens are very fast and nice.Only negatives were several bunkers washed out from recent rains and cart path only made for 5 1/2 hour round.Would highly recommend
this course to anyone who never played here.

Just Great.

Beautiful and Well maintained Course. You can see Lake Erie from a few holes, that's a bonus. Greens were very fast but honest. Not many scary holes but no easy holes either. Back Nines need Distance and the Accuracy. One of the Best Course !

A good time

Really fun layout. Not overly challenging, and definitely not boring. Each hole has character, and the track flows nicely. Lightning greens in good condition. Some of the larger bunkers are in disrepair,and there are a few drainage issues.. Overall though, an excellent value.
