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 Stanley Thompson Design

The crown jewel of the metropatks. Well maintained. Some greens were built with slopes that are really too extreme for todays agronomy advancements. Simpler said, always stay below the hole. Rounds can be tedious due to the stern test of golf, and golfers trying to play a course above their skill level

Slow at Sleepy

Nice weather & fall rates tends to bring out the less skilled player.
Our round took over 5 !/2 hours. No rangers to be found. I love this course and know it's public but the hackers are taking over Sleepy Hollow and this track is not for the novice.

Rough needed cutting. A couple of balls were lost, even though they should have been in play.

The course was in aerification

The course discounted green fee already due to aerification. By golfnow.com I pay the booking fee more than other regular customers who just walked in. Course was not a condition to play, specially green.. But course view was great!!

Enjoyed playing Sleepy Hollow! Would play it again anytime!

I brought a foursome from Columbus to Cleveland for golf at Sleepy Hollow and an Indians game. The discount through Golf Now made our choice of courses very easy! Everyone in our group was impressed with the course and would return again in the future.

Sleepy Hollow - A top metropark course

One of the most scenic and challenging metro courses in the Cleveland area. No housing developments, just beautiful natural elevation changes and woods. Tees times books fast on weekends, thanks to the reasonable rates. Lots of challenging holes with tough (fast, slopes, and hard to read) greens. The challenges of the course unfortunately sometime leads to slow play, especially for newcomers. Overall, a must play course in the Cleveland area.
