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.

Metro Parks gem
Had the chance to play sleepy hollow recently. The course remains one of the gems of public golf courses in the Cleveland area. Always well maintained and just a great layout.
Great Course
Course was challenging and was in great shape! Would definitely play here again
Cleveland’s best courses
I am a single digit handicap who was once scratch, now about an 8-9.
Sleepy Hollow - Fantastic - greens were somewhat slow and bumpy though….. The whole course was a touch soft in general . Good shot values with a variety of resistance to scoring….. just a solid design in average condition.
I played, what I thought were cleveland’s best on a short golf trip and
Ranking them I’d say
1) Manakiki
2) sleepy hollow
Distant 3rd
3) fowlers mill
Manakiki and sleepy Hollow - both fantastic….. very comparable- I would simply give the edge to Manakiki, because their greens were in much better shape ( firm- fast / true )
Fowlers mill was AWFUL - a swamp - not sure how this course gets its high praise - hated it.
Course was great
Played yesterday shot a 71 the greens had been aerated but rolled pretty good but not as fast as usual at this course. Course was wide open I think due to this it was very nominal in my opinion. Come play here it is fun but hard.
Great course. Awful staff.
Booked a tee time through GN on short notice. Had a misunderstanding of the number of players, and was unable to cancel through GN prior to the tee time. I Informed the club house we had one less player, and I was told they would take care of canceling. A week later GN informs me the course charged a no-show fee. Called the course, they insisted it was GolfNow’s decision to charge the no-show fee. GN insisted it was the course’s decision to implement the no-show policy, and thus they had to charge me because the course charged them. All in all, the staff was very unprofessional about the whole situation, and this was also stated by a GN representative who was part of a conference call in an attempt to sort the whole thing out.
Amazing track!
Drove an hour to play here and worth every minute. Pulled in and immediately felt welcome. Staff was excellent. Each hole has a uniqueness to it and you’re going to play just about every club in your bag. Stay out of the rough, it’s thick and penalizing. Fairways are kept in great shape so use them. Greens rolled great and I highly recommend staying below the hole as these greens will roll out well beyond a comfortable length if not careful. Overall this was one of the most enjoyable rounds I’ve played and would highly recommend this course as it is absolutely one of the best courses I’ve played.
COURSE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
Played with my boys for Fathers Day - great time had by all. Course in excellent condition - greens held and are fast and true.
My only complaint - yardage markers. I'm not a gps guy and sticks are cheap.
Tough but fair.
Like all Metro Park courses it’s in great shape. Greens are fast and pin placement can make for a bad score even if you’re hitting it well. Very enjoyable course, but it will be slow because it is a tough public course. Be patient and have fun.
