Sleepy Hollow Golf Course

I took my father in law to play Sleepy Hollow yesterday and it was the first time either of us had played the course. Not only was the weather perfect, but with the fall colors and leaves changing, it was the most scenic course we have ever played. A rather difficult course, with sloping fairways and very fast greens this course kept us on our toes. We will definitely be playing this again before the season ends!

Always a favorite course of mine. Great layout, very challenging. Greens were fast but rolled well. Fairways in great shape. Only complaint was the bunkers needed more sand & the upkeep on them wasn't very good. Encountered traps not maintained & little sand.
Otherwise great experience.

Great track, greens are tough to read with a lot of false fronts.
Stanley put some great bunker placements to defend the greens and a lot of optical illusions for depth control. This should be a course you play.

Played two Saturdays in a row. Tee's off around noon both times. Pace of play was extremely slow. 5.5+ hours both times. The first time we played it was super slow on the front and then opened up on the back. The second time, some group jumped in before us at the turn, having apparently taken 20 minutes for lunch, since they were 2 groups ahead of us on the front 9. Extremely frustrating waiting for 10+ minutes at every hole, with the next group right behind. All staff is 60+ years old so don't expect them to really care about anything. Didn't see a ranger on the course either time.

Great course design and some very scenic and interesting holes. Value is excellent when using sites like golfnow. I played for $24 including fees both times, which is a great discount from their $46 normal rate. Clientele is ok. Given the price and fact it is a Metroparks course, you do see a good amount of people in jeans and t-shirts, as well as hacks who'd be better off at Seneca or Mastick Woods. Clubhouse isn't nearly as big or nice as Big Met or Manakiki.

Every green slopes from back to front. Always keep your ball below the pin to have a good chance at a 1 or 2 putt. Far above the pin almost always guarantees a 2 or 3 putt. Greens can be extremely fast depending on the conditions. Be mindful of the pin locations. Some of the greens are deceivingly deep or shallow, allowing for more/less room for error.

Friendly staff, course in good shape and a real challenge from the tips....pace of play was horrendous but what else would you expect from a public course at noon on a Sunday

This is one of the better courses in Ohio. It was a beautiful day; hot, sunny and a slight breeze. The course was in excellent shape. The fairways were rewarding; release with plenty of roll. Landing in the rough was not too penal, it was cut nicely. The greens were firm and fast and in excellent condition. As many times as I have played this course the pin placement always provides different reads on the greens. Truly one of the most challenging courses I've played, and I'll keep coming back for more!

Living in the area I play this course a lot and must say I have never had a bad time playing here. Excellent value and conditions always. For those who commented on the staff being unfriendly, please understand sleepy hollow isn't your typical public course... be ready for your tee time and keep pace. If you want to take your time and practice I would recommend Seneca which is right down the road

Interesting, scenic layout. Conditions seemed a little dry and greens overly firm.
Slightly overpriced. At price paid it should've included bag of balls.
See title.

no one seened to care a bout holding up the groups behind them. They continued to look for balls. fussed around on course etc. Would not go back

Challenging course in great condition that will test your skills. Sloped greens add to challenge.

We played as a foursome and it took 5 hours and 10 minutes to play. While not blaming the course, I have to say they could have informed the foursome in front of us to speed it up, you would have thought these guys were playing for a million dollars. The greens were quite fast going down hill and the opposite going up hill. It always seemed that you were putting against the grain every time going up hill. The ruff was heavy in spots and the sand traps were smooth and well maintained. The finishing holes were very tough to play as they were into the setting sun, bad design by the architect. Overall I would play there again with an earlier tee time.

What a view!! From the very first tee and though out the round, you'll find yourself (especially on a clear day) saying exactly that. Overlooking the valley and clear into Pennsylvania (seems like) this layout is simply breathtaking.
With the wide open fairways, keeping the ball in play is not necessarily a tough thing to do, but the sloped greens and the length makes up for that. If you are a long ball hitter, reaching the green in regulation will be easy, but for average length hitters, don't be disappointed to get to many of the par 4 holes in 3 shots.
Approaching the green, be certain to keep your ball below the hole. The greens are fast and putting down hill will definitely guarantee at least 3 putts. Fairways are plush and well maintained and most of the par 3's will punish you if you miss the green on one side or the other.
This is one of my favorites.

The course was in fantastic condition and the greens were fast and true. The pace of play was a bit slow as was the pro shop / snack bar staff. Over all this is a great course and good value! Nice practice facilities too!

I decided to try this course on recommendation from a fellow golfer. My tee time was for around 2 on a Saturday, so I was expecting slow play. I was not, however, expecting the absolutely abysmal customer service from the starters; specifically from an older man with a name tag reading "John J." After finishing the front 9 I went into the clubhouse for some refreshments... figuring that the back 9 starter had enough common sense to let other groups play through me while I was inside. To my, and many other golfer's dismay, this was not the case. After about 5 minutes, John came looking for me in the club house and began harassing me. He barked that golfer's have 5 minutes to make the turn and made some other comments that are inappropriate to post online. I calmly explained that I was unaware if this (unusual) convention at this course and that I would be ok with people playing through me and rejoining when there was an opening. John did not accept this and continued to make other groups wait for me. I hurried out to the tee as fast as I could... yet even while I was getting my driver and preparing to hit... John CONTINUED his harassment. This behavior was completely unacceptable in any situation; but is even worse when directed toward a paying customer. I filed a complaint with the course manager, yet have received no response. Though the actual course was challenging and moderately-well maintained, I strongly recommend that anyone looking for a pleasant experience take their business elsewhere.

Fairways and rough were near perfect conditions. We were surprised at the speed and amount of break from above the hole on many greens. We dropped a ball on one green and it rolled more than 30 feet down hill.

The courSe was in the best shape I've seen this year at any metro park course pace was moderate to slower this evening but great value would go agsin

This course is a great value. Classic old style course. Great condition. Tough tough greens. Highly recommended course. A must play if in the area.

Exceptional track, every hole is a statement of beauty and wonder. Outstanding condition over all. Beyond lighting quick greens, all kinds of slope and challenges. A true test of golf...a must play course!

Very challenging course with extremely DIFFICULT greens causing play to be extremely slow.

Was handled professionally in every way from arrival o departure would recommend to everyone.
