Hinckley Hills Golf Course

Course was mostly empty, so the ranger was following me around the course, as he was on my hole for 3 out of 6 holes, and then chased me off the course for playing an extra hole. I've had bad encounters with this guy before but this was the worst. If they have a ranger on the course you will have a better experience anywhere else.

Have played this course for the first the is year and have gone back at least once a month. For late in the fall this course was in great shape, fairways were green and cut well. Some of the greens had some dead spots but nothing too bad. Staff was very friendly and we were in and out in under 5 hours.

I always enjoy playing at Pine Hills. It is a challenging and fun course.

I am 68 coming here since I was 16. Occasionally come to play 5 hole Buzzard Course for practice which I did today about 3:30 PM. Just had new shaft put on driver wanted to try it out. No one here in front of or behind me on the Buzzard course. Regular 18 hole course low play today. Hit 3 balls off 1st tee as trying to get feel for my repaired driver. On Hole 2 little old man with a cigar drives up and holds up one finger. I said, what, he said one ball. He proceeded to watch me this hole and the remaining 3 holes to be sure I hit one ball. Also learned they now charge $45. to golf here, top prices for poorly maintained course badly in need of large money infusion that will never happen. I will never, ever be back mainly because of the old man;s harassment with no one here. Meanwhile the remainder of the course where there were actually people playing was not being watched by anyone.

The layout of this course is very fun and appealing. Green fees were $45.00. I would be happy to pay this if the course were manicured to meet expectations of the green fee price. Every green has spots that are burned out. The fairways are very patchy and lots of dead spots. Overall, the conditions were pretty bad. If you are going to spend $45 to play, do it elsewhere. This course should be offering winter rates at this time to reflect the horrible shape of the course.

The views and aesthetic of this course are great. There is no difference between rough and fairway. Every green has burnt out spots, with a few areas just plain shotty.

With proper upkeep and grounds maintenance, this course could be worth the price. $35 on a weekday morning with these conditions is criminal.

This is my favorite course to play at. It’s both challenging and rewarding!! Staff has always been friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a challenge!

I have played here a half dizen times over the years and will not return. The condition is not close to acceptable even at a steep GN discount.

The greens are wildly inconsistent and burned out in many areas. Worse (to me) is that its often difficult to discern the fairway from the rough. This speaks to the care given to the grounds.

I took two pics that would not upliad. One of an average green for the course and the other of an empty weed filled greenside trap with ground under repair noted. We wondered how long the "repair" was taking given the surrounding growth.

People were rude even from check-in. Very unaccompanying and plain rude. The course layout is decent but they do not maintain it at all. The greens were slowest around. I am not going back to this dump.

This course was a cow pasture everything from the unfriendly pro shop attendant all the way to the starter not doing their job the course is a mess. they put no money back into the course and it shows, Find somewhere else

I swear I would never write a bad review for a golf course because I know it’s difficult to keep a course well maintained given all the variables associated with it. That being said, the greens here are TERRIBLE. They are SUPER slow to the point where they’re unplayable. Almost impossible to make anything going downhill because putts need too much pace to get to the hole. I honestly think shag carpet from the 70s would be higher on the stimpmeter than these greens. We have had a lot of rain in northeast Ohio so far this year but the past couple weeks has been fairly dry so I see no excuse for a failure to cut the greens.

Course layout on a couple holes on the back are quite possibly the worst design I’ve ever seen. I hit a 200 yd hybrid off the tee in the middle of the fairway, about 20 yds short of a creek that runs diagonally up the hole. I approached my ball to learn I didn’t have a shot to the green...I couldn’t even see the green from 150 yds out. I guess you’re supposed to layup twice on a par 4 unless you can hit a blind 50 yd slice with an 8-iron

Some tough holes because of the hilly terrain but that’s what made it fun to play.

Course is challenging at times, easy at others. For the deal on the tee time, I'd go back all the time. However I dont expect to see prices like that again. Not worth $40+ a round, but a good course to play if you can get it under $30.

Do not play here. Greens were like carpet, fairways and rough have not been cut

I use to play this course several times a year. It use to be absolutley beautiful, especially in the fall when the leaves change colors. The last few years the course has not been maintained as well as it once was and I though the rates were getting high. However what I saw today was terrible and I will not return to Hinckley Hills again. The fairways were filled with dandelions and weeds making it incredibly difficult to find a ball. The rough was nothing but weeds, very high crab grass and mud. Thick piles of grass clippings covered the entire course. If you missed the fairway by just a few feet the ball was gone. No chance of finding it in the grass clippings or high weeds. Sand traps (if you can call them that) were filled with leaves from the winter with grass and weeds growing over. $23 to play 9 holes. Totally unacceptable. Other courses in the area have much better deals and courses are in great shape. Go to Ironwood, Sleepy Hollow, Bunker Hill, or even Briarwood. Don't waste your money here.
