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.

Great course

Always a great layout, and like most local courses now, a little rough around the edges, but well worth the drive to the country

Keeps getting Better

This course is challenging and I love the layout. Wide fairways and the greens were beautiful. This course is in great shape and is well worth the cost to play. Each year they just keep improving and we really enjoy playing this course.

Shot makers course.

The course was good condition. It is a challenging course. It is imperative to keep the ball in the fairway as on most holes any wayward shots usually puts you on a uphill or down hill lie.

Huge Improvements

The course is in the best condition since it opened. The owners have done a great job correcting the bare spots that plagued the fairways and their adjacent mounds in the past.

One negative: Halfway food/beverage window was closed making it slightly inconvenient to purchase food and beverage at the turn.

Great staff

We had an early start and got behind a ground playing a behind a group of 7 that’s right 7. We called the club house and before we were on the next tee box the group was split up and over picked up tremendously.

Improvements

Over the last 10 years this course has seen better days. However within the last 2 to 3 years significant improvements have occurred. While they still have a ways to go to bring it back to where it was in 2007 or 2008 the tea boxes Fairways and greens are very playable. We played it today in very wet conditions. The ball did not travel far so it played very long. I believe that players would enjoy playing this course under better weather conditions.

GreyHawk + Wind = Difficulty

Nice warm afternoon, but brutally windy, and holes like Island Green #11 is not easy into the wind. For so early in the season, the greens are running well, and fairways are good. Course is surprisingly dry, only a few mud-puddles on the sides. As a single off GN, I joined a Member, and we both enjoyed the day -- except for getting hammered by the wind (which affected our putting). At any rate, enjoy the challenges at GreyHawk, and the improvements (especially if you haven't played here in a while).

I like playing this challenging course. It was in great shape and there was no wait. It seems like they have been taking better care of the course the last few years.

Good shape

Overall good course. Although, there was roughly 20 people out on the course with the 1st group starting 4 holes ahead of us, we caught up to them by the turn and called it quits as the play was turtle pace slow.

Grey Hawk

What a really nice & challenging course! Especially from the white or blue tees! We played it the first time last week & we loved it so much we came back this week! The signature 11th is just amazing! We drive over an hour to play Grey Hawk! It is well worth the drive! Also their restaurant has very good food! Thanks
