Manakiki Golf Course

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!

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.

Course is in great condition, greens rolling fast.

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 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.

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 nice course. Definitely challenging, but fun to play. 90 degree cart rule was in effect.

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

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.

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!

Course in great condition. Greens rolled well for lots of recent rain

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.

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.

Took 6 hours and 10 mins to play 18 holes. Course had an outing that they should have posted online. My tee time was 12:30 on a Golfnow deal and didn't tee off until 1pm (30 mins behind). It was cart path only which is fine, but why offer a Golfnow tee time right behind a outing? The course should of made the outing do a shotgun start instead of having everyone play behind them, especially since it was cart path only (which already adds time). After a 3 1/2 hour front 9, I asked for a rain check, but was denied because I booked with Golfnow. This course always has pace of play issues and that's why I only play it once a year. Sleepy Hollow's course management it a lot better, and the best Metro Park Course by far.

I usually like this course but I forgot how bad it gets when wet. It has very poor drainage so I recommend you wait for dryer weather.

We played after a rain storm, so the course was wet and we walked a lot because of cart path only restrictions. Quite a bit of mud. Once you got on the greens it was aerated, so there were holes and sand on the green. Course had hills, elevated greens, some water, dogleg, bunkers in play, etc. I will go back and play when it is dry. I liked the course .it was 62 degrees. Here is a pic of 18th hole.
