Mallard Creek Golf Club - The Lakes Course

First time playing at Mallard Creek. Loved playing “The Lakes” course (holes 19-36). Had plenty of open fairways, but not without challenges. Bring a few extra balls if your tee shots tend to go swimming like mine do. Hit a bit of a log jam on the back nine as a couple groups in front of us spent five minutes looking for every ball. Group behind us was nice about it, though. Greens were some of the best I’ve seen near Cleveland as far as public courses go—I just wish people would learn to fix their ball marks! Would definitely play here again.

First time playing here. Course layout was great and pretty challenging with all the water (we played the Lakes course). Greens were fast but there were large dead spots on some of the greens and the tee boxes. Expected the course to be in better shape so early in the season. Good overall though. Would play here again.

Not worth the money.
Found a hot deal on this course, figured we'd give it a try. When we arrived we were told the cart wasn't included and that it shouldn't have been listed as such on Golfnow. Ended up paying $28 for a cart. This left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the round.
After our round I went in to ask for my cart to be refunded.
The young kid behind the counter did nothing, but magically knew we'd have our money back in 14 days.
At this point I asked him if he'd like some basic information such as my name, phone number, anything really. It's been almost 3 weeks and still no refund.

I reserved a round at 7:47am on golfnow. I got there at 7:40 and the gate was closed. I waited 30 minutes and the gate remained closed. So I didn’t even get my round.

The course conditions were very poor. I had a difficult time getting a tee into any of the tee boxes. They were hard as a rock and littered with tees. The fairways were all crab grass and dirt. You were lucky to be hitting off grass at all... We were only able to finish 9 holes in 3 hours. The pace was horrendous... I have never seen a course so overcrowded in my life. The staff was polite and gave me a rain check for the other 9 holes, but honestly I just wanted a refund. I have no intention of going back to play on that course...

Nice course- well taken care of. The staff was friendly and helpful. The beer girls came around three times during our round - much appreciated. This was our Fourth time playing the course - We'll be back.

Fairways play like concrete and your ball will roll an extra 100 + yds. You might need to bring a hammer to set a tee on most holes.
