Hinckley Hills Golf Course
About
Situated between Cleveland and Akron, Hinckley Hills Golf Course sprawls across the rolling hills of northeastern Ohio. In addition to the 18-hole championship course, there is also a short course called the Buzzard's Nest. This course features five par-4 holes that are located right in the middle of the championship course. It's a great option if you don't have time for a full 18 holes. Hinckley Hills' longer course is a challenging test that will have you using all the clubs in your bag. The undulating greens and lush contoured fairways demand accuracy, especially when coupled with the abundant woodlands. The golf course is a seemingly manageable 6,500 yards from the back tees but it can feel much longer thanks to the hilly terrain. There are also a few water hazards to watch out for.

Always a second go-to
Tough course, all hill but challenging. Greens are not in good shape. Fairways just ok and depends on hole. Rough always need cut at this course. The woman who is owner or manager is never pleasant but the young lady behind counter was very nice.
I said yes to recommending this course because you can usually get out but is never a first choice to play.
It seems they need maintenance workers to tend to course in a constant manner.
Greens Sucked
Apparently, they cross cut these greens within the past week or so …absolutely terrible to putt on. Had I known this was done would never have played the course… even when conditions are perfect, there are several holes that seem to be an afterthought at best.
Cheapest place to play golf
Hinkley Hills has always been a tough course to play. It has some really long holes. The weather has made it hard for them to keep it cut down like it should be. Sandtraps are all grown over and the rough is like U S Open rough.
But, for the money you can't beat it. I'm trying to get my game back together and this place is perfect for me. I had to leave after 9 holes, but they gave me a rain check which I thought was nice. Didn't know if they would do that or not since I pre-paid through TeeOff. Hoping for good weather and better days for Hinkley Hills.
Terrible Condition
Unplayable with conditions of course. Dandelions everywhere and the grass is clumped all over the course after being cut. The fairways have longer grass than my lawn. Bunkers aren’t playable. The staff is super nice, but course isn’t worth your time even if there is a hot deal.
Nice people, rough course
This would be a great practice course if it was priced accordingly. Paying upwards of $45 for fairways barely shorter than the rough, no sand traps, cart path that’s barely usable, and tee boxes that are so uneven I teed off 10 feet back every time. Interesting layout but not very fun when u lose several balls in the middle of the fairway.
Drought conditions this year but grass in fairways was hard to find. Very hard ground to generally hit off. Bunkers are not maintained. Greens looked ok but slow.
