Grey Hawk Golf Club is a challenging but playable course that is a Cleveland area favorite. It brings resort-quality golf to a remote location in LaGrange that is seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The rolling landscape is the ideal terrain for links-style golf. The course demands accuracy with lightning fast greens surrounded by bunkers and be sure not to stray from the fairways or you'll almost definitely be left with an uneven lie. Unlike a typical links golf course, there are water hazards coming into play on several holes on this layout. The 11th hole features a tricky island green while the third hole has an equally challenging "island green" that is surrounded by sand. Grey Hawk Golf Club is a formidable but fair test with interesting and diverse hole designs.

Perfect

Grey Hawk has become one of my favorites. Course conditions ranks at the top in the NE Ohio. Staff is very friendly and I actually had the pleasure of playing with one of the course designers.

My only gripe (minimal) was the handling of the frost delay.

Highly Recommended

Nice Greens @ The Hawk

If it were for a couple of DbleBogies, I would have had a good scoring round. Greens rolling nicely, fairways actually soft to the point not much roll-out. Sand is thick & inconsistent, although I did have Sandy #3. We started out as 2some, thinking another Member would join us mid-round, so we were sandwiched in between a lot of mid-morning play. It was a pretty slow round, but still did not take away from a wonderful day in the October sunshine @ GreyHawk.

Good Day @ The Hawk

Greens are still great, not plugged yet. Course is firm, and fairways are rolling out; even after a thunderstorm during the night dumped some rain, no cart restrictions. Course was extremely crowded, and we waited about every hole from #7 on; but we still finished in little over 4hrs. The afternoon was so nice, and the course can be very challenging for us elders, so things can slow down on various holes. Played A-men corner in even (3putt Bogie #7, Birdie #9), but still splashed a ball #11 (Island Green). I'll be back on the Hawk soon.

WOW

The lady in the pro shop was very friendly and customer obsessed. The amenities were top notch, they had a great “club house dog!!”

The course layout was one of my favorites I’ve ever been around. Challenging as heck at times and just had a great feel all the way through. Greens rolled nice and you can just tell that it is well taken care of year round. Huge fan. Thanks guys!!

The Hawk is Challenging for Us Old Hacks

Crowded golf course on this Thursday morning --great weather, course in great condition, and no excuse ......... except for poor swings & poor putting. This is just such a fun course to play, but this day it was more like work for me. The restaurant is good, the ProShop very accommodating, and grounds crew visibly working hard to maintain course. The bunkers need a little work, although I can't complain with a couple of sand-saves, but some are more dirt than sand. Keep the ball outta water hazards & you'll do fine. I'll be back!

Beautiful!!

Played here on a Wednesday Morning and the lady inside was very nice and walked me through the layout of the course because it was my first time playing. The course was in great shape and there are some easier holes but several challenging ones. I will definitely be back to play this gem!

Let it Fly at The Hawk

First, I like how this review asks you to rate "Challenge of course" -- any course with water & sand will be challenging if you can't keep the ball out of those hazards. I can always take a bloodbath on #7 or 8 or 9 or 11 or 15 ........and this particular day was more about watching my buddies hit good shots & score in the 70's. The course is in great shape, the staff is friendly, and the beverages on the patio/deck are cold & necessary to forget a poor round of golf. I'll be back next week to redeem some confidence & hopefully score closer to my capabilities.

Hot Day @ The Hawk

GreyHawk still in nice shape, all things considered .....the weather has been tough on courses this Spring/Summer, as it goes from too much rain to a squelching hot 95* sun-baked day on this Friday. The challenges of the Course Super never ends ........but always have a good time at the Hawk. Certainly not necessarily a good score, but a bomb of a putt #18 for Birdie keeps the avid golfer coming back to the scene. This day should have been good for scoring --greens holding shots & putting smoothly (although they are freckled), no wind/breeze (unless you count sun-rays), cart-girl roaming the paths to quench a thirst, and a cool Hawk's Nest beverage to relax & continue the day.

Best value in NEO

Greens are PERFECT. Fairways are FLAWLESS. Tee boxes are PRISTINE. Course is a fabulous track. Island par 3 green. Gettable par 5s. And at the price this is by far the best value in NEO. If it wasn’t for a few bad years this course would be $70 a round on weekend and worth every penny. Take advantage of the pricing while you can- they definitely won’t be this low for long!
