Always a pleasure!!!!

A must play !! Front 9 has some elevation with some easy & tough holes. Back 9 is less elevation but still a variety of holes. You will have a enjoyable day if you play the correct tees. Conditions are excellent. Friendly staff. Our annual trip to the area always includes Oak Shadows. Not walkable, clubhouse is a double wide trailer, small snack shop are the only drawbacks. Go play Oak Shadows .

Pleasant Surprise

Did not look like much pulling into parking lot with a small modular clubhouse and pot hole filled roadway, but the course was in great condition. Super nice layout, with elevation changes and water that is well off the edges of fairways. Only someone having a bad directional day would find this course hard to play. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. Played in the morning on a weekday and played behind foursomes and still finished in less than 4 hours for 18 holes. Highly recommend for the GOLF NOW APP price we payed.

Not worth an hour drive

Not watered enough, too hard and dry for mid May. Asked for a ranger to speed up groups - NO SUCH LUCK. No. 11 has crick running totally across the fairway: a) no sign on tee b) cant see from tee c) no knowledge of it there. Thus, hit perfect drive into it Disappointing.

I love this course. It can be really challenging, but still alot of fun. The different tee positions can make a huge difference in your stroke count. So happy that it is staying open!

Majestic

My buddy and I go to a new course every Saturday, we drove an hr and 20 to play here and let me tell you it was worth every minute of that drive, the greens were the best I've played all year. Verry tuff fast but held perfectly. These holes cut through the woods and hills they were so beautiful. I will be playing there multiple times loved it.

Love this track

Off the beaten path but worth going. Drove 90 min from Cleveland area. Great layout, gorgeous views. Challenging for an average hack like myself but not unfair. They're for sale so hopefully will be open in 2021. Pace of play was fine even for a Saturday.

immaculate course

The most scenic course I played on all year, and I play 4-5 times a week. In great condition with many fun and challenging holes. Hope they don't sell this course as rumored. I try to get here from Akron two or three times a year. Well worth the drive.
