Brookledge Golf Club

Per reviews that I had read on GolfAdvisor and recommendations of people I had met, I decided to book a round at Brookledge Golf Club and found a rate that I couldn't pass on.
After making the 50 minute ride to Cuyahoga Falls from Westlake, I found out that the back nine was closed for aeration. I was disappointed but not upset because in Northeast Ohio, it is that time of year. I would be remiss if I didn't state that the pro shop offered to refund my purchase due to the aerification limiting my playing the front nine twice but I chose to stay and play. I took 25 minutes to warm up with a small bucket on their grass tee range. The practice range teeing area was in great shape and freshly mowed......kudos to the grounds maintenance personnel!
With regards to the course (front nine), I enjoyed the layout and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were very few areas of damp/soggy turf after the amount of precipitation that had fallen on the preceding Friday/Saturday and Sunday morning. If I did incur one of the aforementioned areas they were relegated to the rough. Bunkers were in really good shape as well.
The greens lived up to their reputation of rolling fast and true with undulation that needs more break accounted for than what you will read.
The pace of play was a little slower than that of my liking BUT, that was directly attributable to the fact that they were forced to send everyone out on the same nine due to the aerating of the back. Having noted this, I did have two groups ask and allow me to play through, as I was a single.
I was also extremely gratified by the amiable and professional demeanor of the staff members. The clubhouse is modest and comfortable with indoor/outdoor seating areas available and nice views of the course.
I plan on visiting Brookledge next Spring and I will recommend that others lend serious consideration in doing the same.
To those who feel that a golf course has to offer a minimum yardage of 6,700 yards to be considered a true test........you're wrong.
My thanks to all of the staffers at Brookledge Golf Club......I enjoyed my visit......!

Great experience. Out cart died on the front 9 but we saw the ranger driving by. We flagged him down and we had a new art before we finished the hole!

While a little on the short side (measuring 6300 yards from the longest tees), the course still presents challenges. Good bunkering (excellent sand), undulating greens (fast and true), and some holes in wooded areas. Fun course to play and presented an opportunity to score well. Would totally recommend it for any level of golfer.

Challenging course with multiple tees for every level of golfer. Well maintained fairways and greens.

Love playing this course. Played twice in a seven day period. The fairways were cut nice and tight. The greens were consistent. Staff was extremely friendly.

Great course, 3 birdies all day. Greens putt very true. Rough is too thick for my liking but should be hitting in the fairway anyways

Even though it was misting for 18 or the 27 we played the course was in very good condition. Nice variety of tough holes. This is a course that you can;t just swing away with a wild shot and still expect a good outcome. Very scenic and I very much enjoyed the golf. Worth the trip.

This course is nice but it is laid out as your typical Ohio course. My friends rave about this course all the time so I was a little upset as I had higher expectations. The front plays really easy but the back is more difficult (more fairway bunkers). The greens were extremely slow, most of the par 4s were under 400 yards so driver/wedge will be your day.

Excellent course w/ many fie holes. In great shape. Recommend to all golfers.

Brookledge is a wonderful course that can be tight if you are spraying it off of the tee.

Cuyahoga Falls maintains the course very welll. Greens are fast and true. Fairways are very nice. Rough is thick but fair. Natural areas add visual beauty. Great Par 3s. A good test!

Brookledge is in awesome shape, challenging from tee to green. The green's are in country club condition and the staff was professional and very inviting. I recomend this course to everyone I know.

Had the first tee time of the morning, seeing the course in front of you as the sun was rising was just the beginning to a great day. Clubhouse manager was super friendly. Maintenance staff was also very outgoing and helpful. The bunkering on the course is a definite sign of an Arthur Hills design. The greens have many undulations and are quite speedy. Brookledge is a well run and maintained muny worth checking out.

Nice course. Would recommend. Greens were challenging. Play here 2 or 3 times a year.

This is one of the Muni courses I've ever played. The track is in good shape. Not too difficult of a course. The wildlife at this place is great. I've probably seen 20 deer the last 2 times I've played there. I would recommend.

Although the weather was overcast, the course was absolutely lush. Fairways are excellent, greens were fast and undulating and most pin placements were very challenging. For a "Muni" course, this place is awesome and on par with most country clubs I've played in the past. A must play for locals!!

Was first off the tee on a Saturday morning. Staff was mowing greens/changing holes as I was playing along, they were very good about letting me play up and then continuing their work. A few of the greens are a bit pockmarked from ballmarks not being repaired, but other than that this course is in beautiful shape.

It was a beautiful day and the course was in pretty good shape. The staff was very friendly. We were behind a group that was slightly slow on the front 9, but were able to make up some time on the back. It was a pretty good day!

I played Brookledge with 3 of my buddies on an absolutely picture perfect Saturday. It was the first time i've played the course in 2015. The place is in the best shape i've ever seen it. And it will only get better once all the leaves return to the trees. From tee to green the course played fair. If you stay out of trouble you can score, but some of the bunkers are deep and unfriendly. The problem was the pace of play was very slow. I teed off right on time at 9:15am and did not finish up until 2:15. For a 5900 yard course (from the blue tees) 5 hours is just too long. The greens were very fast (extremely fast might be a better way to put it). The pins were set in tough spots and it seemed every group got stuck on the greens. The course was probably overbooked and that along with the toughness on the greens led to a very slow day.

Being a younger golfer I often found rude staff that treats as inferior. The staff here could not have been nicer. The course well maintained with plenty of hills. Fairways are wide open which is nice for someone like me who has a bad slice to their swing. Overall best experience I've had golfing.
