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.

wel maintained course
Very scenic and hilly . some hole are very challenging and interesting
GREAT CONDITIONS - bunkers and greens in great shape
never seen sleepy in better shape - just make sure you book your tee time in the early morning due to pace of play challenges mid day
Nice Metro Parks course
great course - pace was extremely slow
Perhaps it was due to tough pin placements and fast greens - had to rolling at least 11 or 12 after a heavy rain, could only imagine what they would be on a dry week.
A real treat
What a great layout and challenging course. The greens were not that fast but putted very true. The practice green was way faster.We drove an hour to play here and was well worth the drive. The back 9 has to be one of the nicest I have ever played in Ohio. Just awesome. You have to try this Ohio matured Donald Ross golf Course.
Good greens, nice layout
A few crazy holes where 1st time players will struggle to understand, but all in all a nice test of golf. Staff was very friendly and cordial.
Bring Your "A" Game
A great course tucked into the Cleveland Park system. You have to keep the ball below the hole on the greens or you face almost impossible putts. Some will stop off the greens. Layout is fair and challenging. It is a course that should be high on your list to play in Northeast Ohio. A nice classic tree-lined gem!
A wonderful course
The course is in an excellent shape. The greens are tough.
This course is very challenging
Excellent shape, the greens were very challenging, better bring your "A Game"
fast greens tough pin placements
dry conditions greens not holding but still worth golfnow deal
great condition
Lightning fast true greens. Course was playing tough with great fairways and thick rough.
Nice public course.
Course was in great shape. Only negative of the day was the 4 some in front of us. Horrible golfers. They took approx 25 minutes per hole. Thank goodness they only played 9.
It was cold and wet, but course was in B+ condition, credit to greens crew
Love Sleepy Hollow. But Cashier could not figure out how to get my Metropark points included in the system ??
The cours itself is usually a pleasure to play with exceptions
The day we played they had signs out for cart path only. Our tee time was 12:18 sunny in the high 70's pushing into the 80's.
I drove the cart two feet off the cart path about half way down to the green (on the first tee), never reaching the fairway. Wouldn't you know when I got to the first green a ranger came up and scolded me for not staying on the cart path. By the time we played 7 holes the fairways were in no longer spongy and seemed to be able to accommodate golf carts which people pay good money to rent. It really slowed play having to walk from the cart path to your ball on every shot. The rangers made themselves present throughout the round waiting to pounce on anyone that failed to stay on the cart path. Needless to say that did not apply to them as they drove wherever they wished. I feel it would be a service to their money paying golfers to advise them before they pay for a cart that it can or can not be used on the fairways. This day a 90 degree crossing seemed in our eyes to be more than fair. Better watch yourself if you play this course BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!!!!
A great public course.
A Country Club type course that is public. Challenging, but the different tee boxes compliment the course. Don't play on "cart path only days" if you have trouble walking.
Great Course, Bunkers need sand!
Course is in overall good condition. Greens are fast and extremely challenging. In some instances there is to much back to front slope on the greens. The bunkers were mostly filled with dirt and rocks, very little soft sand. Overall good course.
only issue was they tried to charge me more than the golfnow rate
nice course
cant be above the hole
some green speeds bordered on unplayable
may be better after aeration
Great course of the Public
I enjoyed this course.
Green was tough for me and not easy.
So I like it a lot !
I would like to come back again.
Thank you to all of this course!!!
Best course in Cleveland
This is a sensational golf course. A little wet this time of the year but should be in great shape come May 1.
great conditioning
the course is in great condition especially for the begging of the season. Greens were super fast and hilly so bring your putting game with you.
Best Around
Sleepy is one of Northeast Ohio's best public course layouts. Very Challenging!
With the current Maintenance Superintendent, it will only get better.
