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.

Great Course

One of the better values in Cuyahoga County.

But, bring your "A" game. Not a course for high handicappers.

Very well run golf course.

Love playing this course. Staff very friendly & the course was in great condition. Greens are very challenging so you need to putt good to score good. Booked as a single & was paired up with three very nice gentlemen. One was an ex Indians baseball player, one was an ex Cleveland firefighter. Not sure what the other gentleman did for a living but was nice enough to take this picture of us after the round. They were pushing me down during the picture. Had one of the best times ever golfing. Love this course & these gentlemen were great to play with.

Wow, what a test!!

Course was in great shape, fairways mowed tight, rough was thick, green were rolling smooth. Course has one tip stay below the hole if not be prepared for a lengthy comeback putt. Pace of play was good. Only complaint was not enough drinking water on course, coolers had ice but no water. Beverage cart for both sides would be nice on busy days. End of round young man cleaned clubs. Country Club conditions and service.

Always great and challenging!

The greens were maintained perfect but fast and challenging as normal Sleepy Hollow. Fairways were also in great shape except some of the bunkers were too wet or had some water. Overall, the rounding was perfect as always at Sleepy Hollow.

A must play

The quality of the course is outstanding, the grass's in the fairways, rough & the greens are comparable to those private courses. The layout of the course with every kind of topography makes it a challenge compared to those flat courses. This is the way golf was meant to be played.

Awesome

This is one of the top 5 courses in Northeast OH, always in great shape. Greens are challenging, long enough for all player levels. You will not be disappointed.

This is a challenging course.

The fall colors are picturesque. The greens are undulated and not slow. One of the nicest public courses in the area.

Spectacular!!!!!!!!

Let me set the scene. First time playing here. Drove 2 hours 15 minutes to play here today. Tee time at 11:45 AM. Sunny, 52, light winds. Played front nine with 2 locals who have played there before. Tees were very good except for 2 par 3 tees that were chewed up, but OK. Fairways were firm and tight, so had to strike ball very solidly. Greens were in excellent condition, but very penal if you were above the hole, but on this day greens were smooth but not that fast on this day. Great variety of holes. Past reviews indicate slow rounds. I can honestly see why since 3 of the toughest hole are within first 5 holes on course, so I can understand why it takes so long to play there when busy. Also if greens were any drier or faster, this would be a bear to putt on. They deserve a five star rating since the layout is great and it should be appreciated by golfers who understand. Will definitely be back next year. Also, we were told Metroparks is getting rid of their catering service next year obviously due to money. On this day, they had clam chowder that was leftover from a clambake they had the day before and it was great and should be kept at course during chilly days. Service at course by staff was great. Hope to get back soon.

Beautiful course

This public course is beautiful and well maintained. However this course defends itself with hills and hazards. Fun!
One thing they need to improve is that the customer service skill an attitude. Go n play n have fun!

Beautiful course for the money

A buddy and I decided to play this course after reading some reviews. We were paired up with a doctor and one of the employees of the course. Had a wonderful day. Pace of play was perfect, even on a holiday weekend. Very friendly staff and the cold towels they provide on hole one were a nice gesture.

Local favorite but in TERRIBLE CONDITION

Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite courses. Played it yesterday and it was in terrible condition. Fairways burnt out, tee boxes were tore up, and greens were fuzzy. Very disappointed.

Beautiful coarse, kinda unfair greens

Fun golf coarse to play, not happy when you hit the green and the ball jumps off like if it were a trampoline! Love the layout. The burgers were delicious, and the people we paired up with were great. Great day of golf. I thought I played one of my better rounds of golf all year.

Greens not so fast

First time playing this cleveland area legend,it is a very hilly and challenging course,we are in the middle of a hot dry spell so it played fast and firm like any area course would now.
I had heard about the lighting quick 4-putt greens but they were not that quick but very green and well manicured.Maybe a good thing they weren,t fast or the slow group in front of us that nobody said anything to would have taken 6 hours instead of 5 to play.Also 230 yard nb.2 hole needs shortened to speed up play.
Overall a very scenic and OK Course.
