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 Condition

Course is already in great condition this early in the season. Fast greens, challenging layout, good quality of sand in the bunkers (not dirt), and freshly cut grass. The driving range won't open until sometime next week, that was the only bummer. It would have been nice to warm up before playing a tough course like this. Overall, it's still one on the best maintained courses around especially when you can catch a great deal on Golfnow.

Excellent course

I played an afternoon round. The pace of play was terrible. Be prepared to play a 4.5-5.5 hour round on a busy day(18 holes).

In my opinion, they need a ranger out there enforcing pace of play.

Love the course it was just super slow.

Staff needs work

Played yesterday in the wind and rain was blowing sideways for the first 3 holes. I showed up to receive my slip and keys from the pro shop and the kid would not give me a cart. He told me to find another guy(who I didn’t know) and ride with him. This person he asked me to ride with was a good 10 minute walk over to the first tee which is situated over a road and I have bad knees which I told the staff. I asked for a refund said he couldn’t get it for me and never provided a solution. So I got my shoes and wet weather clothes on and some young kid from the cart barn gave me a ride over to the first tee. They said couldn’t give me cart due to t sheet when I finished the 18 the cart barn was half full totally unprofessional and rude. Luckily played with two great guys and even they said they would have been mad if treated that way.

This course is closed for the year.

I want my money back. This course is closed. I drove 45 miles to go play there this morning and it’s closed for the season til April. Yet y’all are scheduling tee times and taking peoples money to do so. I want my money refunded and a credit for the 90 miles I had to drive because of golfnow false advertising

Good course if you have 5 hours.

The course is challenging but a fair test of golf for low—to mid-handicap golfers. My only complaint is the pace of play. It will take you the better part of five hours to play a round of golf. That may be due to how popular the course is, the lack of Rangers speeding up play, or your typical golfer waiting to hit a par five in two from 250 yards 😂. If you have the time, it is one of the best courses in Northeast Ohio.

Great country club style public course

Course was in great shape and the greens were good like they always are. It is a little tough to read slopes due to lighter and darker shades of grass but were rolling around a 10 even after a bunch of rain a couple days before my round. I would definitely recommend this course to someone who hasn’t played it before.

Good course if you have 5 hours to play.

It is an excellent course with a challenging layout and good course conditions. My only issue is the pace of play. It will take you the better part of 5 hours to play eighteen. I guess that is a compliment to the course and conditions.
