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.

Excellent Golf

Played Grantwood about four times this summer. Course was in excellent condition and pace of play was steady. Always found challenging holes on both sides. Definitely difficult holes. Cart paths the whole course, very nice. Also used the range, a big asset for the course. Highly recommend playing there.

Pric

We got a deal through Golf Now, but it still cost above what we like to pay for a round of golf. The greens were slow and bumpy. The course layout was a little confusing, with tee boxes too near some greens, allowing some interruption in play. Of the two carts in our foursome, one needed several punches on the accelerator to get going each time, and the other one continued to chug, even after taking the key out!

Potential, but...

One major qualifier: I played on July 4th. On a very hot day, even though the beverage cart was in operation, somehow we missed it through 18 long holes. In addition to the missing beverage cart, they had no ranger in operation. So, stuck behind a twosome that played close to 20 minutes a hole (even with a thunderstorm very audibly rolling in), without refreshment...I was very dissatisfied by the client service.

Great course! Beware the turn after 9 holes.

Love this course. Great course, friendly staff, and most importantly food greens. Only downside is they don’t protect people making the turn. Tee off at 700 and run into people playing 9 holes that started on the back.
