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.

Fun and challenging

Great course for a great price. The course is very well kept. Not an easy course to play but definitely a fun one. The slope of the course makes for some interesting putts

Issue with Golf Now

We reserved and paid for 18 holes at a very good price with Golf Now. We got to the course and there was a league scheduled during the time we reserved and paid for. The course attendant said that happened “everyday” and it was Golf Now’s problem. She gave us a later tee time and had us pay full price which was double the price for just 9 holes. We did get a refund from Golf Now later. But the folks at Sleepy Hollow insist it’s not their problem even though they advertise and promote Golf Now on their website. Common sense says you at least honor the price. The attendant showed no empathy or common sense. The person who runs the course knows this is an issue and does not fix it and doesn’t train the people who work there to at least just honor the price. It’s not just bad customer service, I am pretty sore it is illegal. And it happens “everyday” to someone during league time. Nice course. Incompetent people.

Sir,

I read through your comments and can't find anything to verify this account. In fact all my records show exactly the opposite of your claims.

You paid $32.00 which was your on-line discount of $16.00 off of our rack rate. Your time was 3:00 pm which is not a league time and was your on-line tee time reservation. No one moved your time and your cashier was a man, not a woman. Starter records showed you played 18 holes in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Perhaps this incident was at another course.

Great conditions tough layout

From the tee boxes to fairways to the greens everything was in great shape. Tons of bunks and very few flat holes. Every hole has obstacles

. I highly reccomend this course. I couldnt believe how good it was

Falling Gem

Metro Parks typically do a nice job but are letting this gem slip away..... Greens seemed like they haven't been cut nor rolled in about a week. Rough is poorly maintained and severely neglected. The excuses are out weighing the effort.

Typical Metro Parks Golf Experience

The course should have been closed. But for the greens, the course was mush. Had we known it was "cart path only" we would have cancelled. So, while the hot deal price would have been good on a normal day, the conditions were so bad the course should have further reduced the rate or offered something to lessen the pain of deep, uncut rough, plugged balls and cart path only.

One of Cleveland’s Best

Sleepy Hollow is simply one of Cleveland’s best public golf courses. Always well maintained. Good mix of holes. Very scenic. Lined by trees and gullies, not houses. You won’t be disappointed.
