Manakiki Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Named after a native American word for maple forest, Manakiki Golf Course's defining feature is the abundance of maple trees that line the winding fairways. The course is a classic Donald Ross design. He incorporated a variety of challenges including tricky doglegs, water hazards, up-and-down holes, and two canyon holes. The holes themselves also cover a range from short to long and tight to open. Golfers should prepare themselves for a bevy of uneven lies, but the dramatic elevation changes also guarantee some scenic views throughout the golf course. There are also sand traps but their placement and number were thoughtfully considered to make Manakiki G.C. challenging but still playable. It is popular for this reason but also because it is one of the best rounds in northeast Ohio you can find for under $50.

Beautiful fall golf
Manakiki’s is a gem. Hadn’t played here this year but got out on a beautiful fall day and played 18. The greens had recently been punched but still were in pretty good shape. I love this track.
Twilight deal not so much of deal
Ended up paying for 18holes at 6:20 tee off because no option to pay for 9 was available. Because of daylight was only able to play 9 and was not able to get a raincheck for other 9 or able to get in touch with golfnow about a refund. I am just looking for refund for other half of round for 2 golfers. Any help is appreciated. BE CAREFUL IF OR WHEN BOOKING TEE TIMES!
Great Course
Great course. For the amount of rain the course was in great shape, play was slow, but not excruciating. Greens were hard and fast.
Slow
Like the course, but it’s always way too slow. There has to be something they can do about the pace of play. At one point we were 1 of 5 groups on 1 hole. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed that before .
Big Manakiki
If you're looking for a challenge and fun all in 18 holes, manakiki is the place for you. Every time I play this course it gets easier but harder if you know what I mean but it's always a good time.
Great Layout
Great Layout, but that’s to be expected on a Donald Ross course that was private at one time. Only negative is that the bunkering is not Ross at all and was redone with no attention to Ross’ style. Still the hilly layout and great greens make it worth the effort to play.
Amazing Public Course
Probably one of the best public courses I have played in my life. Great condition, the course layout is interesting and fun. All the staff was super nice and welcoming!
Manakiki Golf
Great golf course. Very tough course, but fun. The greens were fast and in great shape. The rough were deep and almost US Open like condition. Loved the challenge. Definitely must reply when in Cleveland
Metro parks Manakiki
From the time we arrived it was a grand experience. Played the blue tees, and for a a senior it was just right. Greens were receptive yet rolled well at a good pace. Enjoyed the round, will be back.
Extremely overpriced
It's a decent layout. Unfortunately the cart path only the back nine and horrendously cut rough , with grass clippings so bad up lose your ball just off the fairway. That combined with the ridiculously priced greens fees make fir a course you should avoid.
Back Nine Maintenance Spoils Round
This is one of the best courses in the area possibly in NE Ohio. However, the greens are still bumpy and the ball can take abrupt turns. Also, the back nine is under construction so only cart path. These spoilt an otherwise good round.
