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.

unprofessional ranger

Starter had no idea what was going on. Ranger was very rude and disrespectful. Clubhouse staff was friendly. I golf here several times every year but will not golf here again due to unfavorable experience. Was criticized by staff for playing a solo round and being put between groups (starter's idea).

Great shape for the time of year!

Course is in great shape for this time of year! The greens were in very good shape. The staff has always been outstanding at this course.

Hold on to your hat when you get to no. 7,8 and 9! tough holes, bring your "A" game for those three!

Great course

got an excellent deal on Golfnow.com for a course of this caliber. the course was in great shape but very wet due to the rain that came overnight and made it a little tougher to play. only complaint was the 20 minutes it took to get a hot dog and then the bun was burnt. other than that it was a great experience.

Great layout; course needs improvement

The layout of this course is challenging and each hole has its own character. For the winter we've had, the greens were in decent shape. But over the years, the maintenance of the overall course has steadily declined. I will return because I enjoy the challenge, but wish the maintenance crew would get it up to the 5 star rating a great layout deserves.

One of the best in west of Cleveland

It's flat, cuz it in west of Cleveland, but one of the tough one. a lots of water. 7th 8th 9th are always tough, if you play good on these holes, your score will be pretty good on most case. Then you have to be good on 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th - every hole involve Water. It could be easy par or easy double par,

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.

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.
