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.

Hard, hard, hard. A real test of your skill level. It's in great shape and doesn't have any tricks, it's all right in front of you. It could use a risk/reward hole or two, but all in all, a great course.
Spectacular
Sleepy hollow is probably one of the best courses & value. If you are a first time golfer be prepared to have a difficult day. The greens are extremely difficult & not usually a flat lie in the fairway. The course is always in excellent condition.
somewhat challenging somewhat moderate.
I really wanted to play golf at sleepy hollow golf course because of its location.
but field condition is worse than I expected and green fee is expensive than its value.
Great Course- One of the best
Clearly one of the best public access courses in midwest. Competitive with the upper tier of private clubs. Too bad its such a long drive from home or it would be in my regular rota.
Best Condition Ever
I have been playing this course consistently for almost 3 years now and right now it is in the best condition it has ever been. The pace of play is subjective to when you tee off but if you can ever snag a HotDeal here for under $30 or so, defenitely take advantage of it and play here.
Challenging Greens
Course was in great shape...always a great challenge because of the uneven lies and difficult greens...don't ever get above the hole here or you will pay! I so much enjoy the beauty and challenge of Sleepy Hollow!
I'll be back
This was the first time we had played this course. Extreme storms the night before, so it was wet (cart path only) but the course drained pretty well. Long par 4s from the Gold tees (one in front of the Black "tips") and one par 3 over 200 yards. If you are hitting where you want to be, this is a long, playable course. It penalizes you when hitting outside the fairways. The rough is deep enough to matter. We will definitely be back to this course.
SLEEPY HOLLOW
Course was wet but drainage good. Fairways some what forgiving but greens were tough. Nice views great layout well worth the money. Next visit to Cleveland want to play again when the course firms up.
ah, okay
I have always loved this course, but it was in poor condition for Sleepy. Average condition if you base it off a standard public course. Lot of bare spots around the greens which surprised me, bunkers were sloppy not edged, ton of dandelions which I have never seen at Sleepy. I did notice that they have removed a lot of the cart path only ropes, bad idea on a course that receives this kind of play. Looks like they have tightened up their budget and that is a shame
I know its early in the year, but I was disappointed. Still a must play golf course, but they need to get it back to where it's supposed to be
can't beat it
Greens recovering from aeration but still fast and sloping . Pristine fairways and no one on course . Fast electric carts . Played in 3.5 hours as a twosome. Excellent layout. Definitely worth playing again.
First time
I had heard a lot of good things about this course so I decided to give it a try. Great layout. A couple of funky holes on the back 9. Welcoming staff. Grrens had recently been aerated and top dressed with sand so putting was difficult. Rough is gnarly and a challenge.
The course is still beautiful in the winter
Sleepy hollow is my favorite Metro Golf Course in Cleveland. It is in the valley and woods. I like to play the course in the fall when the leaves turns the color. Actually I wonder if I go to Sleep Hollow to enjoy the beauty of nature or golf. The most challenging hole is the number 3 from black tee (460 yard) and it is like a bonus when you make a par.
I took the pictures when I played on November 29. The course is still beautiful.
Very good course
Course is in very good shape .Greens were soft but very fast and undulating .Very challenging. Play was a little slow due to long rough and leaves in some areas. All a very good course
Very nice course
Course is in great shape and the greens are quick and true. Would play here again this year, if the weather permits it. Make sure you stay below the hole, greens are fast and sloped.
Great Shape
Always enjoy playing there. One of the best public courses in Ohio.
Fairway and tee conditions slipping- Not what it used to be
Lots of fairway with diseased bare patches
Worse than last year, and no where near as nice condition as 3-4 years ago, when it was a really nice course
Tees are in really rough shape on some holes
Play was slow on a weds late morning-
First 9 2 hours, second nine very slow, close to 3 hours
Backed up with 3 groups all waiting on 10th hole.
