Grey Hawk Golf Club
About
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.

Going way downhill
We have played this course many times over the years and this time by far was the worst I've seen it. Fairways were burned out in multiple locations to the point it was hard cracked dirt in places. Rough around the greens and fairways was burned out and bare in many places. Most of the bunkers would be compared to little league infield dirt. Greens hand many pitch marks unfixed or dried out and not grown back in. Overall this course has gone way downhill from where I have seen it in previous years and they still feel they can charge a premium price. Will not be back unless significant changes are made by the ownership.
Love the challenge
I love the difficulty / challenge of this layout. You need to bring your best game to score well at Grey Hawk. While the greens were very smooth and fast, they had a number of pit marks and burned out spots. Tees and fairways were excellent. Unfortunately, the bunkers were rock hard and very difficult to hit the appropriate shot from.
Nice course
Bring your A game. Very challenging. Wind is in face almost every hole.
Bill Akron
The course is one of the nicest in Lorain County. Unfortunately it was in poor condition the fairways had clumps of weeds, the bunkers were 80% dirt and 20% sand. The course was dried out and poorly maintained. We probably won't go back, Summit County has nice well maintained courses. Too bad Grey Hawk could be a premier course.
In great shape
The course has always had a great layout. Very challenging at times. Fairways and greens in good shape and Now they are starting to get the hunkers back into playable shape.
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.
Great Course
I loved the course. It was in great shape. I would highly recommend this course. Lots of interesting shots.
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..
nice rolling fairways and spacious greens
Great value with golfnow discount. Worth the travel time. Course was in pretty good shape despite the lack of rain lately.
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!
pleasantly surprised
heard about bad course conditions, got a great rate and decided too go, course was in really nice shape, there were a few rough areas but nothing you would not see at any other course
Challenging, friendly staff, fun day
All was very nice with the exception of both carts running out of juice. Course changed both out quickly for us.
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.
Great golf course Great Price
Course was in great shape although the bunkers could use some sand in them, other then that the greens were excellent putting true fairways are in good shape.
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.
