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.

Still A Course Donald Ross would be proud of!

Pace of play used to be a problem here, but no evidence on my last visit. Though I've played this course at least 80 times during the past 10 years, it was about the most fun I've ever had there. Tom and his staff have done a great job keeping the course fit during the past 5 years (after a near tragic greens disaster) and , despite the hot, dry Summer, it has held up well! A shot maker's kind of track, you'll still have a good time even if you spray the ball a bit!!

terrible time

the course was in bad shape, and the staff was not helpful at all. the course was PACKED and 18 holes was required to be purchased but only played 9 - refused to give a rain check. why have the tee time available if there are leagues and school functions going on?
