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
Beautiful course, questionable etiquette.
Been hearing about this place for years, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. I was greeted with a condescending tone. Then I was grilled as to why I would choose such a late tee time; I made a mistake I suppose, but personally I didn’t understand why the time was even available. They don’t care for patrons that schedule through apps it seems. There were no rangers monitoring etiquette or pace of play. I was told we couldn’t complete our round. The worst part of it all was that they allowed pedestrians to walk the course during play. A gentleman was with his son walking doing the course while we were hitting, and they literally picked mine and my partners ball and kept mine, and had I had to drop. Other golfers were rude and hit my ball or picked them up multiple times during the round. As we were coming in, we see local residents coming out of the woods with irons playing for free while we’re trying to hurry and get through our round. This was one of the most beautiful courses I’ve ever played but I’ve never witnessed more deliberate breeches of etiquette on a golf course in my entire life. I wouldn’t suggest people not attend, but I definitely won’t be back and it’s a shame.
I showed up and played with my father, I am now being charged for missing my tee time. I have never had this occur after using Golf now dozens of times. I will never use this service again. I showed up and played and now being charged full price for a no showing up. Shame on your business.
Wow
The course is an absolute tremendous shape. The new superintendent should be given a hefty pay raise for what he has done!
Great Greens
Overall terrific layout with the best Greens I’ve played on a municipal course.
Well done
Play here.
Shorter course but plays longer with the hills. Well maintained. Greens firm but fair.
Dope logo!
Play it for the logo alone and get yourself a hoodie in the pro shop. Great layout with pretty good conditions considering its a muni and highly rated. Worth your time.
Premium Prices For Not-So-Good Conditions
Golfed here yesterday. The place is charging full rates(58.00) for October golf while course is in poor condition and is undergoing maintenance. Patchy fairways, they had a hard time growing grass on some tee boxes, fairways aerated(which is ok), and greens were cut to aerate and were not smooth, had a lot of bounce. Pace of play was horrible, the two groups that had tee times before us were late and we had to suffer and wait when we could have been sent out and had at least three holes in before they got their act together. There was a point where nobody teed off for a half hr. and we were sitting waiting. Then when we did get out we waited on EVERY single shot for the rest of the day. Pace of play was terrible, course in poor condition, outrageous price for such a poor condition. I dont mind paying a 100.00 if it is worth it. If your course sucks at least lower the price, overpaying for poor conditions is insulting. Wont be back
Love that course...
I grew up playing Manakiki. It was in terrific shape, the greens were fast and true. It's one of my all time favorite courses to play. It's not overly long ot tricked up. It's just a great track. I try to play it whenever I'm in Cleveland. Go browns!
