Manakiki Golf Course
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.

Great Course. One of the best I’ve played
I was pleasantly surprised at this course especially since this is a public course and is part of the Metroparks. I look forward to playing here again. Great layout, great challenge and I love the distinct yardage markers that you don’t always find at every course.
This Gem was nicely polished!
Except for the fact that the greens were cross cut, the course was in fantastic shape! Probably one of the nicest experiences I ever had there! And I worked for Metro parks for two years! It was a pleasure dealing with a staff that knew what they were doing! Unlike some of the other Metroparks I have been on recently, this one was easily the best run and maintained of the bunch!
Manakiki is Classic Donald Ross Design & Awesome!
I try to play here once-a-year, and Manakiki never disappoints. The ClevMetroParks take great care & pride in this signature Donald Ross design. Not a long course, but the long-bombers better have good touch around the greens (or shall we call them table-tops). The staff is always nice, and this day the Starter got my 2some off early, paired with a couple of young guys that had a tough day keeping the ball in front of them & on short grasses. At any rate, great day @ Manakiki.
Great day
My 2nd time here and my hubby's first. We both know why my Dad loved playing here! Course was in very good shape. Love the rolling nature of the course, a blessing and a curse! Very enjoyable. Front was a little slow, but back was well spread out and we moved along very well.
Greens & fairways decent condition. Course green fees are way too high
Greens were very fast. Pace was very slow. Course rates are very high. Their senior rates are much higher than other courses in the area otherwise I would play there more often.
Target Golf
Playing this course for the first time was very challenging! I should have left my driver in the trunk. Not many grip and rip holes. I can assure you that if you shoot below 90, you played your irons and putter really well! I will play again!!!
Very enjoyable
Very nice course. Definitely challenging, but fun to play. 90 degree cart rule was in effect.
Beautiful July day
Course normally gets a little dry this time of year but the rough wasn’t burnt out at all and was fairly thick. Fast greens and shot placement is the name of the course and it certainly lived up to expectations
Love Manakiki --a real Gem for MetroParks
I wished I lived closer to Manakiki to enjoy on a more regular basis, but is certainly worth the drive from western suburbs --Elyria. The course is awesome, starter was accommodating for getting my 2some out ahead of schedule. We got paired up w/2 young guys, not all that experienced, as they sprayed the ball all over the park. I birdied #1, which is usually a bad omen, so of course a 3putt DbleBogie #4 put me back on the Bogie Train. Manakiki is just so much fun to play, but you have to appreciate the rolling layout, bunkering, the table-top Donald Ross greens and great golf for a reasonable rate.
Bonus Golf
In town for MLB All-Star Game and wanted to squeeze in a round. Could not have been more pleased! Course conditions were good and customer service was excellent, thanks Dave!
Great facility
Course in great condition. Greens rolled well for lots of recent rain
Great Round
Greens are great. Nice Donald Ross layout. Pace of play was great. 3 hours 40 minutes on a Sunday morning. I have seen a lot of reviews complaining about the pace of play. Maybe we got lucky. $60.00 is a little steep for this area but can’t say it was wasn’t worth it. I would pay it and play it again. Didn’t check out anything in pro shop or snack shop so I can’t comment on those.
Manakiki
Course was fantastic. Love old style layouts. Staff was great, got me out early, and were very friendly. Maintenance staff keeps the place in excellent shape. Not from the area, but when I’m back, this is a must play.
