Sleepy Hollow Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Sleepy
Great course. Very tough. Need to space groups out better and more enhance pace of play.
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.
Pre season
Excellent value for your money
It still pre season and cart path only today due to wet conditions
Sleepy hollow
Course was in good condition, cart path only. Will definitely be back in 2019 in dryer conditions.
metro park course
really nice golf course the green fees are ridiculous for a metro course this is the only time of year to play it with a golf now discount t time
Overrated
Not a bad course but definitely not worth the price or the slow pace that is usually there. Fairways were what I call baldheaded. Way too tight. Bunkers were not well taken care of. Layout is just ok. Prices are way to high for this course. Senior rate in October was almost $40. I personally wont be back unless theres a hot deal.
Still a challenging GC
Some sand traps removed, but still a difficult course.
A Great Course at a Great Price
I was in Cleveland for a few days visiting friends and I found out that we could play Metroparks courses designed by my two favorite course designers, Donald Ross and Stanley Thompson. I was ecstatic.
Sleepy Hollow, designed by Thompson, was excellent. The course rolls through the river valley and there really isn't a hole without some sort of elevation change. It was beautiful. It was hard. It was fair. Good shots were rewarded, bad shots punished, and if you tried a risk-reward and missed, you were punished severely.
This is an awesome course that is very well maintained and is a great value for the dollar. I will play here every time I visit Cleveland.
staff
The staff at here was mean and always yelling at the golfer. When the staff yells at golfer its about everything and everything. Plus when i book a round of golf i like to play by my self. I hate it when they pair me up with someone.
Bring your A game
A great course, especially liked the beer girl. This course will challenge most but such great conditions, large greens and interesting elevation changes. Whenever I want to be humbled for my golf I come here helps me move my game up.
Fantastic Metro-Course!
Came to Cleveland for a weekend getaway and found a gem of a course to play 18. Wide open fairways, beautiful scenery, but tough greens. Listen to the Starter! Course was in great shape!
Nice layout
Challenging Course. Elevation changes tricky. Lot of slope to greens. Speed a tad slow.great layout, not a lot of room for error.
