Sleepy Hollow Golf Course

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 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.

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.

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

unfortunately cart path only slowed the p.o.p.about a half hour course a little wet but still played

Great course. Very wet. It is ok for this time of year.

First, I love this course, and this particular Saturday afternoon was wonderful with nice pace-of-play (which can sometimes be an adverse issue). People just don't realize or appreciate what a great course this is, and to be part of Cleveland MetroParks, to be maintained to great conditions, to be affordable (especially when lucky enough to get the Hot Deals <$35) ............it will test your game. Don't be fooled by the 1st hole par5, because it is downhill .........you'll be making your way uphill sooner or later, and be sure to hit extra club for the carry shots (not much bounce in front or bunny-hops forward). The Starter gives a few helpful hints to the 1st-time player, usually warning to stay beneath pin-positions. The greens & their undulations are hard to perceive during first experience, and I'll bet you'll want to reschedule a visit to Sleepy Hollow again. Even if you hit it poorly, at least enjoy the layout & the views are outstanding. Have fun on this great Public track.

The most challenging greens I have played. Course in great shape. As others have said, must put from below hole. A truly enjoyable, sometimes frustrating round. I'd play it again in a minute.

Always one of the most fun and challenging courses in the Cleveland. Greens are quick so you'd better be below the hole. Fairways were in great shape except 17 had a few bare spots but overall a wonderful track!

This course is everything and more that golfers post. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful, fairways plush, greens true. I have no complaints...oh ya I got a bargain price

Even though it started to rain on the second hole I was prepared with my rain suite and continued playing.

At the turn, weather broke and I had a great time.

Will certainly purchase "HOT T" times again from Golf Now.

Course is in good shape but the same old problem with Sleepy slow play. It was brought to staff attention that the group in front of us was way behind as we waited again for them to get their hotdogs at the turn. They continued there slow pace the whole back nine. Never once saw a ranger. Sad when you have to wait every shot because of inconsiderate golfers.

This course has been heralded as a go-to for municipal courses everywhere, and for good reason. Conditions were good, a few summer-type burned out spots, but nothing out of the ordinary. Pace left something to be desired, heading over the four and a half hour mark. Otherwise, I will be back again eventually, especially after gaining some of the local knowledge needed to play better

If you are a mid high handicap golfer, this course can ruin your day. Very hilly terrain, side hill, downhill, uphill lies on nearly every hole. Greens are difficult ( putt speed determined by grain more than elevations... uphill with grain is very quick, downhill against us painfully slow) Rough is thick, long, and often obscures balls less than 2 yards from fairway. Fairways are often soft and sloppy. Bring your "A" game or plenty of beer

Great layout and staff tries hard. Layout forces slow play with 200+ yard,, par 3 2nd hole. Course sent off three twosomes in a road..They need to manage first tee better and pin placements were putt putt clown style
