Type Public/Municipal

Par 72

Length 6643 yards

Slope 129

Rating 71.8

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.

First Time Playing

Super fun…. Cept.

First time playing. (I live in Charlotte) . Figured I’d walk 18. Get that exercise! Everything was great. Staff was nice and the course was in great shape. Greens were faster then I’d expect a public course to be. 5 star on the course. Well, on a 90 degree day…. I get to the 3rd hole. Finished my water and no water on the entire course. I asked the Marshall on the 4th. He said their are water fountains. All off. So…. That’s my only gripe. Just tell people no water on course… so I can prepare and have some extra in the bag.

Best condition ever

The course played beautifully. The knock on Manakiki has always been it’s slow greens. The greens rolled perfectly and were fast.
