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.

Tee-box #18 Photo submitted by DAB4par on 08/11/2014
Had a blast
except for pace of play it was one of the nicest courses i've played. The night before it rained an inch and a half but the fairways and greens were perfect. the greens were running an 11 on the stimp meter which i loved. when i go back to Ohio i will definitly play there again.
excellent course
Course waS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, ESPECIALLY GIVING THE AMOUNT OF RAIN WE HAVE RECIEVED.
Really nice course
I have played Manakiki at least a couple of times a year since 1980 and it continues to be a great place to play. In recent years, the Metroparks people have rebuilt many of the holes, making them spectacular to look at and fun to play, although several (10 and 18, expecially) of the holes look downright scary from the tee. This time out I saw several new tee boxes that make for very different approaches to the same holes. The rain this year has helped to create really good conditions. And we got a fantastic rate ($18 for 18 holes with cart and 12:45 on a Sunday) from GolfNow.
great track
this place is always nice course conditions are second to none
Decent place to play golf. Their formal dining hall is great.
Truly enjoy the course with friends. The pace of play was rather slow during the time of my play and no Rangers to assist in moving play along at a reasonable pace..
Stay out of the rough!
Course was great, but tough! The rough was thick and really punished you for missing the fairway.
Great Ohio Course
I've played this course on and off since the 70s as a teenager but I have moved away to CA. When I visit in the right season I like to golf here because of location, price, friendliness and the beauty and challenge of the course. The course in early May was fabulous. The rough was long and the grass sticky (as usual)- club up! Club up on those shots up onto those elevated greens too! Great time - I played 18 two days in a row and fully enjoyed the course and beautiful grounds.
- a true gem.
the course was in great shape...
The course was well manicured, and for mid April the greens were fairly firm and the bunkers are in good shape. Enjoyed the course...
Great course once weather clears.
Love to play Manakiki. Once the ground is dryer and they prepare the bunkers for the season, it's great.
Manakiki
I have played this course for 50 years. It is still a challenge. Course conditions were good for Fall golf. Staff were friendly. Pace was good.
Great value
It was quite cold and their were a few leaves on the course, but that is to be expected in November. Course was in good shape and fairways and greens were clear.
Course in great shape
Played Manakiki on 10/11/14. The course was in as good a shape as ever. The fairways were perfect and the greens rolled perfectly. If you're visiting in the Cleveland area, this Donald Ross course is a "must play."
Beautiful course
This course was in beautiful shape and was challeging.
Need Rain for the Punched Greens
This is an excellent, challenging course. Unfortunately the front 9 greens were punched awhile ago and are just about completely healed, but the back 9 looked like it was punched 2 days ago. There was no way to roll a putt on the back 9.
Not just a driver course
Course depends on well placed shots, can't just bomb it down there on every hole. Greens were topped, which we didn't know before playing, made putting horrible. Every green was a beach with all the sand.
sandy greens
The course was great but the back 9 had 1/4 inch of sand on them.
Excellent metro parks course.
Tough tight tee shots especially from the tips fairways were in excellent condition greens on the back nine were in great condition front nine greens had just been aireated so still sandy and slow. Only complaint is that the pace of play is ridiculously slow could not even finsh my round in 4 hours with a 3:21 tee time.
Very good muni, in great shape, excellent value for the money.
This is a solid golf course, tough enough for better golfers, probably too much for beginners. The course as in good condition, and pace of play was very good. The staff were friendly and accomodating. And I got to meet some very nice guys I played with. It's my bonus for traveling all over the country.
Nice Day at Manakiki
Overall the course is in good shape and the pace of play was above average. Greens were very slow compared to the last time I was here in May. Clubhouse staff are very friendly and helpful; first tee starter needs to improve his "customer friendly" attitude. New tee box on #4 appears to be a good idea; #18 is a great finishing hole.
