Saturday outing

The people inside was so nice. The course was in very good shape. The greens were a little slow but they have to be this time of the year or you burn the greens up little grainy but fun. Great course and layout Can’t wait to see the rest of the courses first of the year. Great time was had by all

It's a swamp

In my humble opinion, the course should have been closed. It was cart path only (obviously) but really was not playable. Walking from the cart path to the ball required walking through ankle deep water at times. I admire the course management for trying to accommodate the golfers, but frankly, it just didn't make much sense. Of course, if they had closed the course, some people would have slammed them for that, so I guess it was a "no win" situation. I am anxious to return when the course dries out.

Thanks for the feedback. You are correct that we are very wet, 10 inches of rain since July 1st. We give folks the option of playing and staying on the cart paths as they understand. It has been nice the past 2 days with no rain. Hope to see you back soon at CHGC. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Wet and poor conditions

The course got a lot of rain the day before didn't know till we got there and it was cart path only play c and b course it was very BAD, c was not even playable water and puddles everywhere, b was a little better but not much got no roll when hitting the fairway just lots of water and muddy conditions but even if it wasn't wet the greens were horrible dead and brown spots on all of them they keep it looking good for the snowbirds but for us they don't care if I had a free round wouldn't play it, I'm done with this course to many others that r better it's a shame

Thanks for the feedback. Green aerifications are a maintenance practice that affects playability, but are much needed at least 3 times a year. We have been pretty wet since the middle of May. We hope to see you back soon at CHGC. Brock Witmyer (GM)

This was my second time play this course. While the starter did let me go out earlier this my scheduled tee time, I did have to ask him where the first tee box was(because I could remember.) A good starter would told me where both tee boxes were but when I made the turn I had to ask again.

Conditions this time were pretty bad due to a high amount of rain that we have had recently and there isn’t anything maintenance can do about that. But the greens on the “C” course were very bad. Dead spot on a good portion of many greens.

All in all, it’s an average course. It not a long course. I picked this course because it was cheap and close to where I live.

The Heights

Due to wet weather, it was cart path only and the course was very wet. Greens are getting a little thin, overall the course is fun to play. Will definitely play again.

Great course

The course is excellent shape with super fast greens. I played the C and B courses. The course was fun and challenging.

The only problem I had was to negotiate from the green to the next tee box, as this was the first time that played Cleveland Heights. Definitely will play here again.
