Mallard Creek Golf Club - The Lakes Course

We got stuck behind a group that was stuck behind another ground. This created 3 groups waiting on the same hole. This happened for all 18 holes. Making 18 holes take 5 hours for 2 people.

Over all round wasn’t terrible but the starter was just such a d-bag even when we made the turn the man was just upset with his life. Then every tee box was dead and full of massive cuts out the grass then thinking you’d end up in the fairway nope just more dead grass hit into the ruff goodbye golf ball with all the leaves and sticks and dead grass clumps everywhere no way you’d find your ball the layout of the course can be good if someone cared for it.

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.

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.

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.
