Rating 73.3

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, great staff

First time playing this course and I did not expect much from a Metroparks course. I was blown away at how nice it was--the greens were beautiful and it was run like a well-oiled machine! The staff was extremely friendly and the starter took the time to explain the course and give tips on each whole. We didn't have people riding us and the pace was perfect. Beautiful course, great staff-we WILL be back!

sleepy hollow

This was my first time playing the course. I found the $50.00 green fee way over priced for the quality of the course. Greens were slow and bumpy. Construction was going on on a couple of the holes with equipment coming into play around the green on one hole in particular. If the course is going to charge full fair, the course should be in best condition. Boulder Creek and Swamill are much better values.

“New Favorite Course"

Two of my foursome declared Sleepy Hollow their “New Favorite Course.” I can’t argue. Great course in very good shape. (They’re doing some work on it but that’s not a bother.) Greens are challenging.

Only downside is the carts are gas powered and not very good.

Good "Go To" Course but Employee's are not Friendly.

This is about the 5th or 6th time that I have played this course. Course was in great shape despite all of the rain we have had lately.

All 5 or 6 times we have played this course we were greeted and exited by "Grumpy Old Men". I don't know where the course hires their employees, however each time we play there we are made to feel that we should be lucky to play there versus they should be lucky to have us golfers.

Please work on your customer service.

Beautiful metropark course

Excellent layout, course was in good condition even though the back nine was undergoing some construction. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in excellent condition. I would recommended this course to any mid handicap or better golfer because this track can be fairly difficult for beginners.

Who knew Ohio could look like this...

Our group of 8 all said great things about Sleepy Hollow.

Pros: awesome layout of different types of holes, really a good mix and played a lot of different shots, never bored when standing on the tee. Conditions were perfect, rained night before so fairways were nice and not hard pan at all. Looked and played as it should. Beer was cold and staff was friendly.

Cons: telephone number on 9 tee had the wrong phone number on it and the lady that answered seemed upset. No mobile website to provide course flyovers and GPS but lasers worked well on line of sight shots.

FWIW: pin positions were set up like they had a toughman tournament that day, on top of ridges and steps from edge of green. Made for a bad putting day for this guy but still enjoyed the round. Pace of play was fine for a packed Saturday and even though it took awhile we rarely waited and with 8 guys when we did have to wait we'd watch group behind us till we were able to tee off. Ranger did infom us group ahead of us was behind which was nice to report they were aware and on it.

We'd go back and you should go too. Thanks GolfNow!

Stunning

This course really suits my tastes. The layout is stunning and has an artful quality from start to finish. Very solid track. Super fast greens with lots of undulations. Nearly perfect conditions very early in the season.

Fast Greens

Basics: I golfed in a 4-some. Length of round was 4 hours. Weather was sunny and low 50's, STRONG wind. Match was 2 man scramble match play (thankfully).

Observations: Greens were super-fast, especially downhill putts. Windy day made some holes difficult to decide on correct club. Course played very challenging but fair. Not for beginning golfers. Greens and fairways in good shape. Staff was very friendly. Overall a very good experience and the hot deal made the round outstanding.

Cigar Notes: Small patio facing #18/#9 greens and #1/#9 tees with a few tables/chairs good for smoking a stogie and enjoying a beverage. Nice vista beyond #1 fairway. Cigars are sold inside at the food/beverage counter.

Still the best public course in the greater Cleveland area.

Even in the steady drizzle, I wanted to finish all 18 holes.
