Type Public
Par 72
Length 6509 yards
Slope 124
Rating 71.1

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.

Course is terrible

Single-handedly this course was in the worst shape of anything I’ve ever played. Times may be tight. They were mowing on the day that I was there but the person on the lawnmower did not even stop to allow me to tee off. Will never go back here ever. Too many better options in the area

Cool, windy day

The course for having very few players on it was busy with people keeping the course maintained. Since it was fall the greens has a lot of leaves and the greens were wildly slow. Shag carpet slow. But the price paid was value for the money. A few strange holes to keep it interesting.

Will Golf Elsewhere From Now On

Been golfing here for years. Beautiful views of the area. The cart paths are rough and have been for years. The fairways had some bare spots. The greens were ok. Its usually easy to grab 9 holes during the week, without a tee time which is one reason we golf here. My issue is with a cocky staff member who seemingly chastised me for finally picking up a club head cover that had been left there 6 weeks ago. Her sarcastic demeanor was simply wrong and unnecessary. One of the maintenance workers also copted an attitude with us on the course. Staff unprofessionlism is the reason we are through with you.

Awful Staff

God forbid you mistakenly leave your golf head cover here. After calling to say I may have left it there, they held it in their lost and found for me to pick up. Admittedly, I failed to do that in a timely manner, but that does NOT warrant a nasty voicemail implying the cover has been an inconvenience. Nor does it warrant an unprofessional interaction between the staff and my mother, who picked it up for me. I'd recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

My friends and i used to play this course a lot. I got tired of the old guy behind the pro shop counter. Not friendly and very grumpy. I go to play golf and forget about the world for awhile. I don't need attitude. Get rid of him.

Solid layoit

First time on his course. Love the back to back par fives to get the round going. Pretty straight forward, but great views and different tee box angles makes for a great day on the links. Just hope you hit’em straight! L

This course

This course is very challenging and tight but fair if you play it as designed. If you go after it though it’s gonna bite you back so fast you’ll look up and have a triple. The back 9 is very challenging and on a couple of holes downright mean. Take your lumps and keep it moving. I lived playing this course and the staff is great. It could use a driving range to loosen up other than that it’s a very scenic drive to get out there and well worth the time. Great course!

Hinckley Hills

Played Hinckley Hills for the first time as the regular courses I play were sparse for tee times. Pace of play was strange. Waited on every hole and every shot but still got nine in in two hours. First hole was pretty narrow. Thought I would be in for a treat. Then got to the green. Greens are like concrete. They do not hold shots, which I don't mind but they were also the slowest greens I've putted on in 25 years. It would be one thing if they were hard but fast but it was literally like putting in the fairways of the normal courses I play. Because of that, I didn't bother to play the back nine and did not get a rain check as I will not be playing it again. The price is way too much for a course of this nature. $25 with a cart is where this course plays and that should be for the weekend. It is an old duffer course and for weekend warriors. For the money, there are way better options.

So beautiful

The course has some of the best greens around. Fairways are good. Sand is lacking but im happy to pull.

The layout is very unique and challenging.

The scenery is captivating if not distracting. Simply beautiful country.

Staff is exceedingly friendly and accomodating.

A favorite of mine and highly recommended everyone try.

Thx

Guy

Honest Review

Coarse was not well kept at all older guy working the pro shop counter is grumpy and just not very nice. Younger guy working the pro shop counter and everyone at the food and beverage stand were very nice. For the price I would rather play at Sweetbriar, Briarwood or Big Met. This used to be one of my favorite courses a few years back but they have just fallen off.
