Best course in Elyria

Always enjoy playing this course. A few holes are pretty close to each other so be cognizant of other players. Also it’s not a “driver every hole” as some are shorter and require positioning over distance. Greens are excellent.

Nice Course, no amenities

The course itself is pretty, and in good shape. However, there were NO amenities during our round. No water, no ball washers, no bathrooms, no benches, no divot repair. As it was a hot day, we missed having water on the course the most.

Great Course

I love this track! The Black River winds its way through the whole course and creates some really picturesque scenery. It’s challenging and fun to play.

Fun course in good shape

I played Friday 6/21/24 (matched up with two other guys). The course was in good shape, fairways, bunkers and greens all pretty well maintained. Staff was friendly. The course designers have done a great job creating unique and fun (but not tricked up) holes in this valley next to the Black river. Challanging for all level of play.

Wonderful Course

This course used to be a hidden gem. They redid it a few years ago and it is superb. It’s in great shape and the staff are always friendly and inviting. I’ve played here 10+ times every season for the last few years and I’ve always enjoyed it. This was not the case on my last visit. When we approached the #1 tee box, there was nobody on the first hole, nor did we see anyone heading to #2. Our foursome consisted of two scratch golfers and two +6-8 handicap players. The first 2 holes went smoothly. When we reached #3, we caught up to the foursome in front of us. Our group wasn’t playing at astronomical speeds, we may have been playing a little fast so we decided to slow down a bit and take our time. By the 5th hole, we were waiting 10-12 min on every shot. The group in front of us had zero golf etiquette. They were at least an entire hole behind the group in front of them. We watched as one member of the group hit a ball into the water hazard, then proceeded to drop another ball and hit another shot from the same spot, which again went into the water. To our amazement he then went to his bag and pulled out a third ball. He took his time lining up what would now be his third shot from the same spot only to slice it again into the water. They refused to let us play through even though the group in front of them was nowhere to be seen. We hoped they would only be playing 9 but we knew that was wishful thinking. The back 9 was astonishingly worse. As this group continued to leave their beer cans and relieve themselves anywhere on the course they wanted, the pace was almost brought to a standstill. On #16, a par 3, they were on the hole for a total of 38 minutes. Hitting second and third shots throughout the round, we saw no ranger to whom we could express our frustrations to. Our round of 18 holes took us almost 6 hours to finish. This is completely unacceptable for any golf course, especially when there are comparable courses in the area for less than $70/round. I hope this was just a one time occurrence but I have a feeling this place that was once a hidden gem is now being taken over by blithering idiots who have zero class and zero etiquette
