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.

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.
Early morning
We played early and the course was in great shape and the play was very fast. Our foursome played 18 in just under 4 hrs.
Very good public course
This course offers a good test of your golfing skills. It was in good condition and the scenic setting just adds to the experience. Very good value.
Elevation Changes Consistently
Lots of different terrains here. Beautiful course on the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Make sure you are ready for the variable lie angles!
Gorgeous Butt Kicker
This is one of my favorite courses. The layout is beautiful, conditions - impecable, and challenge - ridiculous. I am a mid to low 90s golfer and find breaking 100 to be difficult. It can be a frustrating course but I always find myself excited to return.
Course worthy of a replay
I had never played this course, but my friend insisted that we go. It was really a great round of golf. We never caught anyone in front of us and also never had the annoying jerks playing down on us. We were able to play a nice paced solid round of golf. The course is well maintained and has a beverage cart that makes timely rounds also. This was not the cheapest course to play by any stretch, but it was worth every penny. I cannot wait to play it again.
Great course--rains wouldn't stay away!
We live in Buffalo and come back to Cleveland to visit family & friends often. Being Father's Day, my husband wanted to play his favorite Metro course! Course was in excellent shape--too bad weather couldn't hold off--made it to #9 when the rains came down. Staff readily gave us a raincheck--we'll be back!~
Beautiful Facility
A beautiful course and it was a pleasure to play. Great food, friendly staff. Bring your 'A' game as it's a tough course.
One of the best courses!
Played the course after rain the day before and rain in the morning. The course was very dry for as much rain as we got. Staff very friendly, greens in excellent shape and just a very pleasant round of golf.
dries quickly
After a long rain the course was surprisingly dry. no standing water. Beautiful course.
Pace of Play
They pride themselves on keeping pace of play at 4:35/18 holes. The starter at both 1 & 10 remind you about this as you play through.
County Club golf on a budget
I have played this course at least 20-25 times over the years. Not been there recently, had a friend in town to play and he had never been there. He was amazed at the layout and conditions and $35.00 on a weekday is a nice surprize, as well. A joy to play.
play on the 10th
waited every hole; the twosome in front of the threesome we followed were the bottleneck. ranger was advised but play continued to lag. shouldn't take 5-plus hours for a round of golf!
Long and Challenging
Not your everyday municipal course and certainly not for beginners. This course is not a driver/wedge course. Challenges you to use all your clubs. The course is situated such that ball tee shot placement is important. The greens are consistently tough on every hole. A 3-putt is common based on the tough reads. Expect a minimum of 10 strokes to be added to your typical scorecard, potentially much more.
Not a fun day like we hoped it would be.
We teed off 25 minutes late because it was backed up. We waited on every hole to tee off, and waited on every hole on second shots. Course of play was extremely slow, pin placements were extremely hard, and probably had something to do with slowing course down. Disappointed.
Good and getting better
Love the fact that they've been working on the sprinkler system, based on all the new grass seed and straw we encountered. Now, I wish they'd turn it on! Once the watering schedule is figured out, the course will be truly great. The scenery and layout are great and the practice range is pretty good as well. Worth the 30 min drive. I will return.
Great as Always
Best course is Cleveland. Early in the year, so in few weeks this course will be back to its usual shape. Rough needed trimmed and fertilized, greens much slower than usual. I will be back!!!
