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.

Great design, horrible condition
This is one of the saddest stories in all of golf. What was once a proud, up-and-coming championship caliber course has become the punchline of bad jokes. Its a fabulous layout - one of the most fun in the entire state. To be fair, the greens are above average. If ball marks were repaired, the greens would be excellent. The tees are decent, although the repair sand needs some seed in it. The fairways, rough and sand traps are all terrible. The fairways are completely burnt up and void of grass, and although they were aerated this fall, the course did not apply new seed or fertilizer. You have to move your ball just to find some grass to hit from. The rough is simply unplayable without 'rolling' your ball. Where there is grass, its choppy and clumpy. You could easily hurt yourself trying to play the ball down. The sand in the traps is low quality dirt. Its crusty and inconsistent. Overall, the course looks bad and plays awful. The ownership does not care about course conditions or quality service. The course staff does the best they can with what they have. The clubhouse staff is friendly, given what they have to deal with. The restaurant has gone completely downhill. And, although the food is generally above average, the service is pitiful. It is now basically a cafeteria with a bar. So, unless you want to play an unrelentingly disappointing course with poor service, I suggest you go elsewhere. Wait until the course and service improves, then go back.
One of my favorite courses in the area
The course conditions are rebounding from a tough summer. The greens and the areas around the greens are in great shape. Each hole is uniquely designed to make the overall experience challenging and rewarding. It is not a course for the beginner. It is a hidden gem that does not get overplayed. It is the the course I play most often outside of my league.
disappointed
For $17 it was a decent value if you have to pay anymore it would be overpriced course is somewhat challenging and set up nicely and in past years $35 would have been ok now fairways are in very poor condition and greens are fast but full of old ball marks lots of little holes everywhere, to many other very nice courses around with more reasonable regular rates!
Not what it use to be.....
Course is not what it use to be. Alot of dead grass and bare spots on fairways, hills look scalped, and staff was watering areas that were already mudpits. Very Greatful I didn't pay full price!!!!!
Fantastic Golf Experience
I have had the pleasure of playing close to a dozen golf courses in my life and Grey Hawk is by far the best course I have played. I had wanted to play here for a long time and it did not disappoint. It is a very challenging course but also a very beautiful course. The facilities are first class and when I showed up I was immediately greeted and taken care of. I had a short conversation with the gentleman who checked me in and he gave me all the information I needed. This is a course I would recommend to everybody out there. If i played on a more consistent basis, I would make this my home course. Highly recommended, I find it hard to believe that there could be a better golf course and facility than Grey Hawk!
Great course, just not in great shape
It's been a rough summer everywhere adn Grey Hawk is included. There are brown spots everywhere but the greens and tee boxes. It wasn't so bad you couldn't play but we had to take liberty here adn there. For the price, it was still well worth it. The lay out is superb and the pace was remarkable for a Saturday.
Was a great course that is in poor condition
When the course first opened, it was a premier course. The condition of the course now is poor except he greens, which are excellent. The fairways are terrible. It is way over priced because of the overall course condition.
Course used to be great
Fairways were completely burned out and not taken care of at all. The greens were OK but incredibly obvious that they have stopped spending the time/money it takes to keep them in great shape.
The most beat up course I've ever seen.
A very challenging course. It is way over priced for the condition of the course.
Course Architects did a nice job on this one, but grounds management hasn't
Nice course layout, but never scene a course so ravaged by the heat of the summer. Some of this turf will not recover and will need to be re-seeded. They say the greens are nice here, i say they are decent. This course needs some tlc and how about watering more. What a waste of a pretty cool design.
Course is in very poor condition
I was so disappointed to see the poor condition of this course. This used to be one of my favorite Cleveland courses to play. It appears that the course has had minimal watering this season. I had several shots where my ball was on dead grass with a patch of live grass behind it - unhittable lies. Thank goodness I only paid $26 through GolfNow! I definitely will not be going back.
Pitiful condition
Fairways are in atrocious shape, they appear diseased with at least 60%-70% of the grass missing or dead. It is a fantastic layout, but not worth playing in its present condition unless you get a substantial discount.
Fun course to play with challenging greens.
Always one of my favorites in the Cleveland area, but the Summer drought took its toll on the fairways this year. Still a fun course to play, but it wasn't in the condition I'm accustomed to.
