About
Sleepy Hollow Golf Course is the top municipal course in the state and it is also ranked as one of the top 20 in the nation. Overlooking the Cuyahoga River Valley, the course is known for its scenery almost as much as its challenging layout. It has a traditional design with a classic "out-and-in" routing, with the incoming holes playing uphill into the wind, making them seem much longer than the indicated yardage. Golfers might be taken aback by the punishing nature of the golf course. There are 58 bunkers strategically placed around the tough greens, which comprise the main challenges of the course. Get ready to be quickly introduced to the Sleepy Hollow Golf Course's formidability with the lengthy second hole, a par 3 that will test even the longest hitters.

This course is great, I am not
Totally got ate up today. I couldn’t find the fairway, i was like that golden retriever in the 90’s cult classic homeward bound. Just completely lost. 2 putted just about everything, topped at least 5 different approach shots. Not gonna lie wanted to throw a couple clubs but kept it composed and finished my round. When I got home I took a nice nap so all in all I would say it was a good day. Oh yea completely forgot to mention the course. It’s one of the best in northeast Ohio.
Great Course
Greens still fast as ever even this early in the season. Bunkers very playable, many with new soft sand that you can play out of, only a few that had hard sand. Fertilizer sprinkles still visible on a few greens, other than that, course in great shape as usual...
One of the best in CLE
Great November day for golf. Greens were slower than usual and made for a good score today.
Great Course on Weekdays!
Sleepy is a great public course, and it is in great condition these days. It is a challenging track that I enjoy playing but I'd just suggest to play it during the weekdays or very early on the weekends because the pace on most weekends is less then ideal.
Tough Greens
Course was in great shape and and greens were tough with pin placement almost unfair to score well. Pace of play was slow(5+ hr. Round) as frost delayed play. Love the course and it was a beautiful fall day. I’ll be back.
Like a Cleveland Metroparks courses, Sleepy Hollow Golf Course is scenic and well maintained. The course is rolling with a few very challenging holes. The fall foliage made a picturesque back drop for a beautiful course. The pace of play was about average. I play fast so had to wait a little but not terrible. Several of the holes greens were very close to the next tee box which made for an interesting situation. The greed are fast and challenging. On a couple occasions I watched as my ball rolled 20-30 feet back down the slope. Overall, a nice course I would play again
Sleepy Hollow ---Awesome Course
This day was just awesome @ Sleepy Hollow: great Hot Deal from GN, 2nd group out & 3hr round. Greens had been plugged, but still didn't slow down putts from above the cup. Tree foillage is colorful & course has spectacular views. I only play Sleepy Hollow once a year, and it sure plays a lot longer (than when I was in 29s & 30s), but always a treat to play. The main tip I can offer is keep the ball below the cup. I can't wait for my rematch against Sleepy Hollow.
Perfect day
Headed out early, and It was about 45 degrees when teeing off, finished at about 70.
While the place is notorious for not-so-friendly starters, I was greeted nicely.
The pace was nice, got done in 3:40.
The greens were, despite being wet with dew, still very fast. Sleepy has some of the most baffling greens in NE Ohio I’m a decent putter, and was grateful to escape with a 2 putt on most holes.
I do recommend the course, and I hope you get a friendly starter!
