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.

Wouldn’t let me play

I got to the course and the guy behind the desk told me no carts after 5, when I clearly booked for 9

Holes with a cart at 520. Wouldn’t even let me go out for an hour, and wasn’t very friendly at all abojt it. I play here often so I wasn’t very happy how he was talking to me.

Unfriendly staff at golf shop. Had to wait 10 minutes and this head guy was on his computer ignoring me. Looked at me twice, did not mince a word.

Worst Staff in Ohio

I've played here about 8 times since I moved to Cleveland area over a year ago and not one time have I had a positive experience with the staff. Their delivery is off completely and they give off the vibe that they do not want to be there let alone deal with people, each time I have only needed to go in and get my cart key because I paid online through Golfnow and every time man or woman they undoubtedly have an attitude and less then friendly. If you can get past a staff that has no clue about customer service or customer experience the course isn't bad, pretty good for a public course however you have to get past the rudeness that is the staff who would rather find a way to ruin your round before it starts rather than treat you like a human being.
