Staff was very friendly.

The staff gave us great hot dogs after the first nine holes. After we finished the 18th hole, one of the faculty made us laugh with a joke. All an all a great time golfing here.

Valley of the Eagles has a Great Layout

Valley of the Eagles has one of the better Layouts for public courses on the West side of Cleveland.

The greens were much slower than expected and took some practice putting to get used too. The greens used to be much faster.

The blue and white tees were moved way up on most of the tee boxes. Playing the blues was basically playing the whites and playing the whites was basically playing the golds. This made the course play far easier than the yardages, course and slope ratings stated on the score card which took away any real meaning of the score obtained. It appears that they may be moving up the tees for weekend play to speed up play and possibly increase revenue on busy days. I understand that tee boxes need repair and rest so the tees need to be moved, but this was not apparent because none of the tees appeared to be moved back that day.

MOST OVERRATED COURSE IN NEO.

Very slow play. VOE foursomes do not allow 2-somes to play thru. A ranger was present, but did nothing to speed up play. No driving range. No GPS on carts. Had to change carts at turn due to difficulty in starting. The course is one hour from home. And, it is expensive. Ladies like it because it's short for them. I personally hate the course and hope I am never forced to play it again.

Awesome Layout

Great course in beautiful condition that wraps around the river. Cart path only due to lots of rain recently which was expected, but added to the length of the round.

If in the Cleveland area, this course is a must visit!

Amazing Layout and Challenge

This is such a great course. Nicklaus courses give you everything you want, aesthetically beautiful, room to bail out, penal if you go for the hero shot. The only downside is a course like this does not have a driving range to warm up. Despite that, I’ll be playing it again for sure. The staff is top notch.
