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.

Fairways looked like rough.

This course is really over hyped. Clumps of grass all throughout the fairways made the course an eye sore. From the tee boxes that are by far the worst I've played this year you could not tell where the fairways were. The layout is not good 485 yard par 4s and 267 yard par 4s why? Greens were great, they were the only redeeming feature of this course. For the money that this course charges for greens fees you could play 50 better courses in NE Ohio. Don't think I will be back.

This golf course is EXCELLENT

Bring your “A” because this course requires it, from the first hole to last one, if you expect to score!

Sleepy is one of my favorites and always will be. However the greens this day were poor and aerated and wasn't mentioned at check in either..They should have noted that with their posting on Golf Now. I would not have played there.

Nice course.

A nice course with really nice fast greens. Gets crowded. And it's the priciest of the metro parks.

Course was in great shape!

Rough punitive. Greens fast, but slope of several greens made putts uphill oftentimes roll back past the point you putted from if it didn’t go in. A few pin placements were just over sand traps with fast greens sloping away. Nearly impossible to get close. Beautiful course scenery wise though. Gorgeous day to play in late October.

Best Muni in Ohio

Best municipal course in Ohio, probably one of the best munis in the country. Excellent course conditions. If playing as a single or twosome expect to be paired up with another twosome. Greens are very challenging...stay below the hole or you will pay.

Luv The Hollow

Sleepy Hollow is so much fun to play, and the course is in great shape; the greens are healed (from fall aeration) and just awesome. Nobody in our group went without a 3putt (although mine was only on the 1st hole); so even if you hit the ball great, you still have to concentrate & "commit" to your putting. The par5s (only 3 on course) are rather easy (#14 being very short dogleg right), but all the holes demand good iron-shots ...............and then let the game (of scoring) begin.

Fantastic

Perfect weather, greens healed from aerification and rolling superbly. Rough was lush and difficult, but staff had done a great job with leaf removal.
