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.

Course In Much Better Shape In 2013
I normally play Grey Hawk a few times a year. Last year the fairways were in rough shape. But everything was pretty good this year. The course is very challenging and has alot of different holes. I recommend to everyone to play this course at least once.
Needs a bit of TLC
Nice greens but fairways need attention in many areas. Could really be something with another $1mm invested in fairways.
very challageing
don't like this course it not for my game yet but some day it will and the pro shop service needs some help they are not in it for the golfer they are in it for the money standing behind the counter
we enjoy the course lay out
this course design has what my son and I find challenging
and we can play to what we feel are handicaps are.
course conditions
greens in good condition true rolls some fairways and roughs on certain holes in need of attention had to play winter rules rolling the ball
Love it, but...
The design of Grey Hawk reminds me somewhat of Pete Dye's Heron Point, but without a $160 green fee! And that is its major flaw...Grey Hawk is not a resort course, but one in a rural community. The track is visually appealing and a joy to play. Yet, it must be a financial challenge to maintain; as evidenced by the continuing, overall condition of the fairways and the deplorable condition of the bunkers (There must be a 150 of them). Notwithstanding the present deficiencies, you should play this course. The clubhouse, food and staff are great. You will have an enjoyable experience.
This is such a great golf course
This is such a great golf course layout. Yes the course needs some maintenance (like about 100 tons of sand) but the layout and greens were great. I have golfed Pebble Beach (3 times), TPC Sawgrass, and about 20 of the top 100 US courses. This layout is one of the best in the area. If you want to experience a course which is like what the pros play here it is. I can't believe people spend 4 hours on "muni" tracks.
There are holes here also that you can't experience anywhere locally. For instance:
#11 - is an island green (yes boulder creek has one) but this one is longer and the cross wind makes it tough.
#7 - this long par 5 - has a tee shot that makes your knees twitch.
Overall - there are almost no holes that a yawner. It has a nice range and great clubhouse also.
Very challanging layout
This is one of my favorate courses. Lots of variety in holes and when you shoot low here you know you had a gret round, I did not give it 5 stars because the fairways are still in only fair condition. They were lousy last year and I can see where they have overseeded but the gass has not come in well. Looks to me like they just don't water the fairways enough. Rest of the grounds are in acceptable condition.
One of My Favorites
I usually try to play Grey Hawk 1-2 times per year when I have guests in from out of town and it is always a treat. The course is challenging but the length is very manageable. The variety of holes forces you to play every club in your bag and every type of shot that you possess. I made it through this round with 2 lost balls and considered myself lucky.
Tough yet beautiful course.
Phenomenal course layout. The grass in the rough and some other areas on the par 3's need a little but more attention but for 14 dollars the course was easily worth the money. Overall a very positive experience on a challenging course for the average golfer.
great course to play
very good course around the area of Cleveland Ohio a must play. The course is set up for all skills fairways a little rough due to no rain but still better that most I have played. greens were great.
Not as bad as it was made out to be
I booked this course without reading any reviews, and then was worried when I did. There were some spots on the course that needed some work, but overall I thought the course was in pretty good shape. I would definitly like to play hear again later in the year to see if the staff continues to improve the spots that need work. Overall I really liked the course layout.
Good links style track. One of few in area.
This course has a great links style challenging layout. I love the trains that run along side the course. Holes 7,8,9 are the best 3 holes back to back to back around. The newer Club house has good amenities and friendly staff. It is a bit of a drive for me but well worth if for the price. The fairway could use a little more attention but overall a great bargain.
A Little Rough
This course still needs some time to grow in. The rough was very patchy and you need to bump the ball around to find some grass to hit off of. The fairways are short, tight, and very firm, and the greens are fast but hold very well (even 4 and 5 irons sat down). Overall it is a good layout and with five sets of tees it can be a good test for any level of golfer. Water comes into play on a majority of holes, but if you have good course management and avoid poor shots you will not lose many balls to the hazads. The yardage markers are accurate and wind is a factor on most shots.
Nice layout but course needs work
ice layout and very long and difficult from the back tees but the course is still very barren in spots, the multitude of sand traps have very little sand in them. Fairways have holes where grass used to be. THe greens were fast and nice. The staff was tremendously friendly and we got a deal where it was $19 for 18 and a cart which was phenominal however I would never pay full price. Hopefully they will continue their efforts at getting it back
a decent deal for 27$ , but not a penny more...
having grown up in the area, Grey Hawk was always considered an elite course. I dont know what happened, but the course needs help. The clubhouse is beautiful, lockerroom is immaculate, and course design and layout are nice. Unfortunately, I was there for the golf, not the ammenities. Its only may, and the course wasnt really green, had lots of patchy grass, traps were horrinle and in need of more sand.... Just really disappointing. On golf now it was 27$ bucks when i played, and i guess for the money it was a championship course with a run down public course maintenance feel.
Yes it needs work but is still worth playing.
Lets get it out of the way....the fairways need work. There are lots and lots of bare patches. With that being said its still a course I would play again. The layout is fantastic! The greens are pretty fast and better than most. The staff I interacted with were all very professional and pleasant. Its a course you should play just because of the layout. I suggest keeping an open mind and be forewarned about the condition of the fairways. Other than that you should enjoy your round at The Hawk.
The design is very good, greens are in good shape for this time of the year but the fairway are in bad shape with patches. traps had no sand

needs work !!
faiways & greens needs alot of attention !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be fair, the greens are better than average. They've recently been verticut, so in a week or so they'll be pretty good. If the course management would ever encourage players to fix their own balls marks (+ and 1 more), the greens could be excellent. The fairways, rough and traps are horrific.
