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. Play the white tees in the wind.

Would have gave 5 stars but greens need a haircut and pins need changing. Awesome course, and nobody in our 4 some lost a ball in the leaves. Very few leaves to deal with this time of year at grey hawk!!!

Very windy there, dress warm!!!!

Grey Hawk is becoming my favorite course on the west side of Cleveland

I kept hearing about Grey Hawk from random people I've played with over the past year. I finally decided to give it a shot, and the course is awesome! I've only been playing for about a year, so it was very challenging, but not enough that I wanted to leave my clubs in one of the hazards. It is a gorgeous course. Don't let the fact it is pretty open fool you, there is still plenty of places to lose a ball ha. advice: on the island green, whatever club you usually use to hit the distance, drop at least 1 club if not 2. The wind will catch it once it is in the air.

Very well maintained.

Great shape for this time of year. No leaves on greens or fairways. Pace of play was slow because of group in front that did not care.

GREAT DEAL!!!

This is a fantastic, beautiful, challenging golf course. It can really eat you up and spit you out. It is everything you would expect from a big modern course. Great links style. Plus the Island green on the 11th hole. And the green surrounding by bunker on the 3rd, really give unique, fun holes. Worth the drive from Cleveland, closer and easier to get there than you think.

A REAL GEM

This was my first time playing here. A beautiful course that reminds me of Fox Meadow CC but a bit shorter and tighter. Accuracy more important than distance. Course is a nice value on Golf Now. Only negatives were no drinking water on course and food at the turn overpriced. I was charged $12 for mediocre turkey wrap.

A great couse

This is a great couse but in using you website I was unaware that the geens were aerated and to do 18 holes, I had to do the front 9 twice.

Great Deal for a Great course

We played as a twosome early Friday morning. The GolfNow deal was great. The course was in great shape after a Summer of play and the dry spell we had. The greens were soft but fast and the course was challenging without being impossible.

GH is back!

Grey Hawk is back. Fairways / rough are in very good condition and the greens were fast and true. I have nothing to report to deter anybody who wants to play this course but was reluctant due to the negative comments from last year.
Absolutely enjoyed this course.

Great beautiful course

I love to play at Gray Hawk. The scenery is so pretty. Challenging but lots of fun. Always take the opportunity to play there, great deals, good food, pristine condition. One of my top choices and I've played many courses not just in Ohio but Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, several Florida cities too.

First Time Playing

long, modern, and difficult

I played the back nine first alone and was encouraged to take my time and play multiple balls by the starter, because there was foursomes that had just gone off the front. Needless to say, I played fast on the first nine (backside). I joined up with another single going off the front and immediately ran into a slow foursome. This went much slower, but still got the whole round in around 4 and a half (I would have been upset if I had to stay behind that group the whole time).

The course is a great course, not only to play, but to look at as well. It was very challenging and fun. Some holes are ridiculously difficult and require nerves to hit good shots. I will play again for sure.

Overall a very good experience

Nice course with interesting design and layout.
Friendly staff and good value for the money.
Pace of play was excellent
Course maintainence in the bunkers ( many hardpan areas) needs some attention.
Suggest more promotion such as GOLFERS REPAIR YOUR DIVOTS AND BALL MARKS.

Great value for the cost

This course looks and plays like a country club. The fairways are smooth, the greens are true and the layout is challenging. It's definitely the nicest course in Lorain County (including Legacy). Can't wait to play it again only this time from the white tees!

Awesome track!

This place is a step above average courses. The layout is unique as well. A links style course with big, lightning fast, undulating greens. Plenty of water definitely keeps you thinking throughout the day. Be prepared to lose some golf balls if you're not striking it well. An island green, and a green entirely surrounded by sand, will be two of the memorable holes, among many others. Great clubhouse/restaurant also tie together the experience.
