Hinckley Hills Golf Course

Course was in great shape. Older course and trees closing in on fairways. Very challenging and scenic. Only the cartpaths in rough shape.

There were some holes that seem very crammed in on the edge of the course; I enjoy tight fairways and hazards that make a course challenging, but a few holes were just unfairly difficult. I don't know anybody who enjoys hitting a blind 200 yard teeshot over water into a 15 foot wide landing zone, with trees on the left and OB on the right. Other than a couple of strange holes like this, most of this course is challenging, but fair and fun.

Considering the winter/spring northern ohio has had this course is in excellent shape.

The course is in great shape for the spring time it's long and tight making for challenging play. I would recommend it to more experienced golfers not a course for beginners

The tips are the best position to play from, the whites are to close. The greens were were very slow and very dry for this time of year. The course was a lot of fun for beginner. I will go back in the summer to see all the trees in full color.

lots of leaves and soggy spots made finding your ball hard other than that not bad

Would suggest letting it dry out more. The staff is great and very helpful.

I was able to play Hinckley Hills about 9am on a Thursday when the temp was still 50 and it was really windy. Course was in okay shape, it was still really wet, but it's spring and there can't have been more than a couple of golfable days this year so far. The course was empty, played alone. Played through one group on the 14th. The course is pretty fun, lots of elevation change, and interesting holes, especially on the back nine. It was my first time playing this course and I will try to play again when summer comes. Everything was soggy, and it being so early in the season I didn't want to review the condition.

Considering that I played it in late Oct. course was still in good condition. I like the layout and it was a challenge but not overwhelming. I liked it and will be back

Course is very well maintained and the staff is very proud of it. Starts with 2 par 5's that will get your adrenalin going. 13 is the z hole and what a hole. This is a very enjoyable course.

great fall conditions, wonderful staff very senic in the fall.

From the moment we walked in we got nasty stuck up attitude from the staff. I am a clean cut, well groomed and dressed golfer. I felt uncomfortable immediately due to the way we were treated. At the turn, the woman behind the snack bar was rude and nasty no matter how nice and polite I was. I even wished her a nice afternoon when walking out to cart and received a dirty look from her.
If you enjoy constantly hitting a ball from hillsides, then this course is for you.
I will never return again. Starting off receiving bad attitudes can easily mess with one's golf game. Shale Creek is a much better and classier golf course than this and they treated us like gold. WARNING: Do not bother golfing at Hinckley Hills golf course unless you enjoy a horrible experience!

First time here in long time. Course is in good condition, greens are well maintained. Back nine is short but different and fun to play.

Played here several years ago and since then they have made steady improvements to the course. Greens are in very good condition and fairways are very well maintained. The bigest problem for me is that there is very little distance markers on the course. There are painted marks on the cart path, but if you are not near there, or if there is no cart path, you have to guess your distance. Very frustrating when you under or over club on a shot.

Staff was friendly and courteous. The course has a wide variety of challenging holes, some long, some target, some risk/reward holes, very little water trouble but sand and trees lined. Course was in excellent condition for late summer. Greens are slower but are ungulated so faster may make them near impossible to putt. It was a great value for the price.

Nice piece of land. Course needs new management willing to hire enough staff to spruce up the place and fix the 2-3 Mickey Mouse holes, as well as train the clubhouse folks how to talk to customers.

Played the course in late August 2013. Fairways were not cut, cart paths were in very poor condition and the greens were slow. Setting is beautiful - nestled near the Cuyahoga Valley National Park but course conditions are poor. Only play it if you can get a super deal - something far less than the $34 we paid to play there!

The summary says it all. The fairways and greens were in really good shape, although I would have liked a level tee box every once in a while.

There were a number of "gimmicky" holes. Really short par 4s, elevated tee shots, blind tee shots, and #13, which is just a horribly designed hole.

I never had any clue how far I needed to hit the ball. There were 150 and 100 lines painted on the cart paths on most holes, but they were faded and hard to find. A 200, 150, and 100 stake on every hole would have helped a lot, as would markings on the sprinkler head covers. It didn't have either, so my foursome spent a lot of time guessing how far we needed to hit.

In summary, a really nicely kept and picturesque course that needs to be marked a LOT better.

Hills are definitely part of the challenge, uphill, downhill,sidehill. First two holes are good length par fives, so make sure you are warmed up for your round. They added five new holes some years back, and they just don't fit with the other holes. They are bit contrived and more target golf than I care for. The greens rolled ok but just were not holding approach shots of any kind. My playing partner hits a golf ball as high as any one I have seen, and his approaches were bouncing and rolling off the greens. The upside to that was that there were not any unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Overall I would not play this course again.
