Sleepy Hollow Golf Course

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.

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.

Found this course to be a hidden gem. Not like any municiple course, Very challenging and in good shape for this time of year.. Staff friendly and helpful. Will play many more time s.

This course is full of beautiful views as well as challenging holes!!! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the grounds crew worked continuously to keep the fairways clear. Great course!!

The course was in great shape!! Usually takes 4, 5 hrs to play but got off esrly and played in under 4.

Nice clean greens and very well maintened my first time there and it was super fun and also had a birdie on the par3 on the back nine. The food was great and also the staff. It's great when you can go to a gokf course and actually enjoy being at a top notch establishment.

well maintained for this time of year, too bad for us it rained the whole round

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

Sleepy Hollow, Brecksville, OH is one of my favorite golf courses for the challenge and the condition of the course. But on Saturday, October 12, 2013 my playing partner and I were very disappointed. An 11:42 tee time became a start at 12 noon. OK - it's mid day on a beautiful Fall Saturday. Not a big problem. Three (3) hours later we finished the 9th hole. A ranger was on the course but was totally ineffective at improving the pace of play. A particularly slow group that was two groups ahead became very verbal with the ranger and yet was allowed to continue playing at their snail's pace. We opted for a rain check at the turn rather than risking a 6 hour round.

This has become one of my favorite courses!!! Metro Parks does an excellent job with its courses.

The greens are not terribly fast in and of themselves, but the undulating and often steep slope on most greens make it a challenge. Easily the hardest worst putting I've seen this year.

Very nice course. Pace was so slow for a weekday. 5 + hrs!

We bought a hot fare to play this course I have never been to, and immediately got sent to the back 9 to start since there was an outing going on. We were paired with another twosome which included a very angry guy who threw a club about 70 yards at one point that hit his golf cart after hitting a bad shot, but overall I enjoyed the challenge here with well placed sand and some blind looks to the green.

The only negative is that we bought a hot fare for 72% off for 18, and I knew this time of year we would probably play 13-14 before dark. The course wanted us back in after 9, and when I asked about our reservation being for 18 they informed me that there is a glitch and the reservation should have been for 9 and that any times after 4 pm are 9 holes. The employee was still friendly and provided a voucher to return to play the other 9, so overall I got a great value.

This course gives you a feel of a country club. It requires shot making both to the fairway and especially to the green. It rewards risk but it also punishes you as well. It's a fairly long course but can be managed even if you're not a longer hitter.

Could have played in less time, however, there were a senior foursome that admitted they had a few prior to teeing off...

Make a tee time because its not a secret that this course is a great public course

Let's start with the greens. Sleepy Hollow does not have quick greens. If they did, I would still be putting on the 18th hole. The greens were actually quite slow, yet the putt I tapped going down the hill on 18 still managed to roll off the front of the green. The course is nicely maintained and has made a great turn around from years ago when it had fallen by the wayside. Although Sleepy Hollow is a well manicured course with some very tough holes, and severely sloped greens, I don't think it is worth of the high rankings it has been receiving in major golf publications. The fairways are well maintained, but could be cut much lower, and the rough is very patchy. Tee boxed are maintained, but yet again could be mowed lower, especially the par 3's. Not a bad course, be cautious as to how much you spend. Don't let high rankings fool you into paying more than it's worth.

Got deal on golf now. need find a deal if you can, regular price too high
