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.

end of season

the course was in good shape for the time of year you can still see some of the dead spots from a couple of years ago the course was out of a couple of things such as diet sodas and beer varieties as they are winding down.

excellent golf course for the price

I have played Grey Hawk 5 times over the last two years. It takes close to an hour to get to the golf course, but the trip is well worth the time. Very few trees, huge greens, links-like feel. You can spray it a little off the tee, and areas near the green arent too challenging. When the wind is up, this course is brutal, with very little protection. Conditions are not as good as some top NE Ohio courses, but well above average. Greens are medium fast, which makes it a scorable golf course.

nice track fun to play

First of all got a great deal thru golfnow to play. Worth a lot more. Had a lot of fun beating my brother. Only white tees open, late in the year so suppose we couldn't expect traps to ideal. That's really the only things we can complain about. Loved the course. Staff there very friendly. Will definitely be back next year.

aeriated bumpy greens

nice layout.played on a very windy day that made the course even tougher than it already was.greens were bumpy from aeriation.if had known would not have played the course.would give it another shot in the summer time when I think the greens would roll nicely par threes were very challenging with length and water and sand hazards..

Great course but needs some work

This was an amazing course, very challenging. My only complaint is that the sand traps were like concrete. Other than that there were a lot of water hazards that made it fun to play. The greens were decently maintained and the facility looked beautiful.

By far the best hole on the course would be the island green. It felt like I was playing on a PGA tour style course!

The course keeps you on your toes

Grey Hawk is a fine course, spread out with houses thru-out but not on top of you. There are plenty of hazards that derail your game if your not focused on your shot.It was hot and humid when I played and was disappointed that they had no water jugs. Overall enjoyed my golf and would recommend it to all.

Fun Course, great setting

Great course for the West side of Cleveland. Easy to get to, friendly staff and fair rates. Some burnout in spots but sand has been improved. Island holes are still great to play. Links style course unlike anything I've played in Ohio. Recommend for novice to advanced.

Excellent value

Over all course conditions were good, greens we soft but fast. Very challenging layout, just the type of course I like to play. Pace a play was a little slow, but it was a holiday weekend which always seems to attract players with a skill level below the course difficulty. A bit off the beaten path but well worth the trip!

Not as good as I expected

The course has great features and diverse play.
The condition of the tees, rough, and some areas on the fairways were not good. The condition of the cart paths and their transitions into the fairways were very rough, rutted and unappealing
The green play was very good. There were many little spots of moss growing in the green (1/2 dollar size) that didn't affect play. The most annoying thing was that the ball washers had smelly foul water. The best thing was the diversity and play.

Very good course, good price.

The layout is great, the brought the fairways back and the greens roll very nice. We'll maintained except for some bare spots I'm the rough here and there. The greens had some ballmark issues but that's more of a player issue. Come on fellas. Overall I enjoy my round there all the time. Staff is very friendly and I've never played a real sluggish round. Recommended for a good round of public golf at a good value for a very good course.

Good layout, needs a little TLC

The course seems to have a great layout and requires shot making skills. You can easily get in trouble if you are spraying the ball. It is evident that the course needs a little money as the greens are suffering and their are a few areas that need repair. It could be a really good course with a little work and a few tweaks. I will return.

Unique beauty

Very different from traditional NE Ohio golf - lots of water & sand, very few trees, very few flat lies... Great lay-out! Fast greens, well kept. Only one hole was in need of attention... This course is truely one of my favorites!

challenging course

overall course conditions good for an Ohio course in August. Winds were gusting so made a challenging course even more so. Wouldn't want it any other way.
Pace of play was good for a Saturday morning. refreshment cart came by 3x. Would play again.
