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.

Challenging little course

I haven't played this course in a very long time. It was just like I remembered it. Bunkers on nearly every hole. Beautifully manicured greens. Tight fairways. 4 tee boxes to choose from so every skill level can enjoy this course. Terrific course and friendly staff.

Could be Better

Hot day and not one beverage cart in 18 holes. Also, on multiple holes, there were 3-4 groups backed up - no Ranger on the course to push the pace of play. Otherwise, the staff and the course conditions were good.

Nice course overall

Good condition on the course. Only thing I had issues with-if you have a lot of sand traps as part of your layout, you should make the sand playable. Most were like concrete or muddy. Understandable if it rained all week, not the case. Overall, fun course to play, would definitely recommend and play again.

Great Course

Grantwood is always a favorite to play. Grass green and freshly cut, cart path only but still easy to keep up with your ball. Still in great shape after all the past rain. Friendly staff and always clean inside the club house. I would play this course any day of the week. KEEP UP TO GREAT JOB.

Great course!!

Grantwood is a pleasure to play. It’s got all sort of elevation and terrain variations. Pace of play is good and we finished 18 in 4hrs. 15 minutes on a weekend. The course is very well maintained. It was fun!!

Great course

I play Grantwood 6+ times a year and have never been disappointed. There are a lot of elevation changes, numerous risk - reward shots and some holes you have to play them as the course architect designed them, or you’ll be in trouble, tee to green.

The course is very well maintained - cudos to the grounds management team and administrative staff!!

Slow Sunday

Course was wonderful but being a beautiful day in November we got what was expected. Slow play. To the point we had 2 groups on the tee for hole 5 and 6 while there was a group on the box in the fairway and on the green. That’s 5 groups on 1 hole. We played 9 and got a rain check. Staff was fantastic in the clubhouse though. I don’t think they have any rangers.
