Course Highlights
Grantwood's unique layout, featuring tunnels beneath an old railroad track, creates two distinct nine-hole experiences that keep the round engaging. Exceptionally friendly staff and a smooth pace of play make this well-maintained public course a strong value.

Grantwood Golf Course is one of the best golf values in the greater Cleveland area. The course sits next to Timberlake Recreation Park, a scenic park with a large fishing lake and picnic areas that are perfect for outdoor gatherings. The layout features small, undulating greens that are protected by more than 40 strategically placed bunkers. Water also comes into play on 10 holes in the form of a meandering creek and several ponds. The golf course is a challenging-but-fair test for players of all skill levels. Beginners and high handicappers won't be intimidated by long forced carries and won't have to worry about losing balls on every hole. Grantwood Golf Course sprawls across gently rolling terrain and the tees are in close proximity, making this a perfect layout for walking.

Great course great stuff

Always a great experience on this course. A bit slow play here and there but they maintain this course well. The staff is great and friendly and very helpful. I play this course at least once a week. Definitely worth the money.

It needs a break. Return in the Spring

We play this course several times a year as its a nice track and generally in good condition. The course though, given it's location, gets a lot of play over the course of a season. This is evident now in September on the greens. They've had enough.

I'm a big fan of the course but my suggestion is to wait until Spring as the greens are beat up. Other courses greens have similar problems right now but these are outside the norm.

First Time Playing

First time

I haven’t played golf in a long time ! I am just getting back into the game! The coarse was nice well maintained! It was difficult but not to the point for a new guy getting back or even a beginning to be intimidated by! Maybe it been. That long but no one or carts to even get a bottle of water! Wich would have helped many times in the heat! But we’ll be prepared next time! Over all I will play again! And for the rate I got with the cart you couldn’t beat the price! 2 of us golfed with a cart and my father-in law rented clubs it was still under 85 $ for 18 with a cart! My favorite part of this coarse is the pace of play ! There a lot of different handicap golfers out there and everyone was patient and polite!

Good course but . . .

This course is worth my return but it was cart path only because of all the rain. That was not the problem! The problem was that there were no rangers on the course making sure people stayed on the paths. We had golfers behind us pushing because they took carts all over. At one point, I called the clubhouse to complain and then they sent out the ranger and he caught them. They need to patrol the golf course more often or have the drink cart person look for this and report it. Put up a sign that says "Cart path only today so stay on the paths or be kicked off the course". If you kick enough off over time the word will get around to stay on paths!!

Fun, challenging course

This course was great. It rained for a week before we went so the fairways and greens were really water logged so it made play difficult in some sections, but not to the fault of the course. There are a lot of small creeks to watch out for which can make this course more challenging for beginners. But really enjoyed the course anyway! Pace was slow - but it was a super nice day. I think moral of the story is - this course is awesome. Challenging. But the staff is great and friendly, the drink prices are good, so if you’re looking for a fun, relaxing round of golf, kick back with a drink and enjoy the scenery while waiting!

Good challenge for weekend golfer

Many opportunities to score well, but it will punish you if you’re not careful.

Have to take advantage of the easier Par 4s and 3s. Par 5s are straightforward, but long.
