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.

Can't wait to come back.

I played Grantwood for the first time and came away VERY impressed. I especially liked the layout/design. It made the round interesting and fun. Course conditions were great. The greens were in great shape. There were rangers out and about to keep play moving along. (Finished in 3.5 hours) There is a driving range, short game area and a putting green so if you want to practice it's a perfect place for it. (Range balls were a little pricey...small bucket is $5.00. How about if you just want to hit a few before the round?) All in all I came away very impressed with Grantwood and I can't wait to get back.

Nice Course. Played Here Many Times

Grantwood is close to my home so I play here fairly often. It is well maintained and the staff is friendly. The practice is very, very nice. Quality of food is above average. The course is a little tough for a beginner, but fun to play. There is not a lot of water but enough to make if difficult. Hole # 3 is a challenging hole for any golfer with an accurate tee ball and a shot over a lake that has claimed many balls. Fair amount of bunkers. I like this course and would recommend it.

I have played the course several times a season. It is fairly close to my residence and is convenient to play when I don't want to travel.

Great course for an amazing deal with golfnow

The course was pretty water logged the day I went. But that was due to the inch of snow that was on the ground a few days before. Can't wait to play on a nice dry sunny day for the same price.

Grantwood on Nov 11, 2014

The course was in great shape. Greens were soft and very fast. Cart path only on only 2 holes. The remainder were fairways only, not rough. Probably the final golf day in 2014.

A few tricky layup holes. Creek comes into play. Very little water.

Good length for seniors from the white tees. Course was a little wet when we played.

Awesome

I pass this course everyday, and finally decided to play it. Was very impressed with the course. This course was in as good as shape as you could want at the end of August. Of the courses I've played this year, it was probably second to the Quarry. Fairways were great, greens were awesome, very consistent. There were a couple bunkers holding a little bit of water. But that is the only slight negative. Would definitely come back again, especially at the $12 we got it for lol.9/10

Amusing but confusing

Course was in fine shape, no really unfair holes, greens fast but fair, course layout somewhat confusing with nines criss-crossing under rail tracks. I'll certainly play again now that I am familiar with the layout.

Nothing to brag about

After reading previous reviews I had my hopes up. Though the course was not in bad shape it wasn't impressive either. If you could get this course for under $30 I would say it's worth it but not at $39.

First time but not the last!

This was a very nice course to play. The condition of the course was well maintained and greens were smooth and fast. The best part though was the girl driving the beverage cart was extremely nice and very beautiful! I will definitely go back!

I thought this course was ok. Above average but not great. The course has a few holes that have you driving around quite a bit. Creates confusion if you've never played it. There are markers but you have to really look for them.

Improved over last season

Course was in better condition than last season when I played an outing here. Greens were good but did not respond the same as the practice green. A creek comes into play on a fair number of holes, a couple of holes have carries over ponds. GN hot deal makes it a worthwhile endeavor.

It was a great day.

We we're overly impressed with the staff at Grantwood. Everybody from the cart attendant to the Player Assistants made us feel welcomed. Larry, the Starter on 1 had a busy day with a full tee sheet from 7 AM to past 11, but was still able to explain the course and give us info about the layout. He made things very enjoyable from the start. The course was in beautiful shape with the greens not lightning quick, but rolling true. We will definitely play there again!
