Sleepy Hollow Golf Course

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.

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!

A great course. If you live or are visiting Northern Ohio, this course is a must. Good driving range, chipping / putting green & some amazing holes. Well worth full price .. a steal at Golfnow.com

Challenging course but very fun to play. Don't get upset with 3- putts.

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.

Course was in great shape and further improvements were being made. I am amazed at the quality of Sleepy Holllow considering that it is a metrooparks course. Keep up the good work!

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.

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.

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.

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!

The conditions are top level at this Cleveland area landmark, a beautiful and challenging track cut through the Cuyahoga River Valley.

Haven't played here in a few years. Course was in great shape. Presented a great challenge.

I find it hard to believe that this is a metro park course? The course was in EXCELLENT shape for this time of the year. Major KUDOS for the staff at sleepy hollow. This is a MUST play course for advance golfers.... GOOO PLAY!!!!

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.
