Lake Erie Metropark Golf Course
About
Lake Erie Metropark in Brownstown sits along the shoreline of its namesake lake. The location is a popular bird-watching spot with more than 300 species recorded. Golfers might catch a glimpse of a bald eagle and broad-wing hawk sightings are almost definite since the area is one of the best hawk-watching sites in North America. The golf course sprawls across gently rolling terrain and is routed through natural wetlands and forests. Towering trees line the fairways and water comes into play on a few holes. There are also strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. The golf course is a manageable 6,472 yards from the back tees. Lake Erie Metropark's challenges are mild enough for high handicappers but there are still some interesting holes that will keep the avid golfer entertained.

GREAT COURSE
ALWAYS ENJOY PLAYING LAKE ERIE!! IT DOES FORCE YOU TO HIT THE STRAIGHT BALL!! :))
beautiful course nice location
Every time I play ere you see wildlife. Great layout challenging but fair. Always in great shape. Pace of play always seems to be good. Never taken any longer than 4 hours to play. Well worth the money.
Solid course
The course is nice, lots of wetlands which come into play. The staff though seems to be irritated with people who use the discount. They are a bit too snooty for me, I'll probably find somewhere else to play next time.
Another Nice Round
Always enjoy playing Lake Erie Metropark. Play it about once a week. Even though it is relatively flat, it is always a challenge from the white tees. Recommend
Fun experience
This is a very playable course, although most greens are difficult to reach in regulation. The fairways are wide, the greens receptive. There has been a fair amount of rain lately and some spots were soggy, but overall, drained pretty well. The only drawback for us was the excessive number of Canada Geese and their droppings everywhere you walked. True, the course is built in what appears to be a conservation area, but golf and poop really don’t mix that well. It appears to have been a healthy breeding season and it seems, without measures, that it will only get worse.
Impressed
When i arrived, I was skeptical. Course was well manicured. Good time.
Nice track
Typically play 1st tee time of the day on weekends. Course was in great shape, rough was a bit longer than usual, but I'm assuming because of all the recent rain. Greens rolled great, Sunday pin placements are a bit ridiculous, nearly all the pins were directly on heavy slope or the apex of the greens. Hoping that was a one time thing, but overall, love the course
Needs a few weeks
Course very wet and greens as shaggy as a 1970's living room carpet.' Clearly they need to lower the mower blades. Great layout but needs a few weeks to dry out. Will return under the promise that greens run faster than a 4 on stimp meter.
Good course, not the best management
Booked an 8:40am tee time. Arrived and checked in at 8:30. Found out there were 7 groups still waiting to tee off due to frost. Temperatures are averaging 40 degrees early in the day but for some reason management decided 7:30am Would be a good time to start booking tee times. First group made it off at 9:30. It wasn't until after 10am before we were able to hit the course, an hour and 30 minutes after our scheduled time. Temperatures haven't been fluctuating, so not much of an excuse for this oversight. Overall good course and friendly staff, but they need to manage their times more responsibly. Won't go back to this course.
Besides the pace of play ALWAYS being SLOW, it was a very nice round.
awesome
man, playing in October with a friend, the course was like july, excellent condition, very impressed. will play again this year. greens were excellent.
Lake Erie Metropark golf course in September
Air was thick and muggy but we made it thru our 18 hole round in time before the rains came.
My neighbor and myself generally play 3 or 4 nearby courses each year and Lake Erie Metropark golf course is still our favorite.
Great value
Nice course in great shape. Great deal on golf now. $13.00.
multi-year visitor
play here 5 - 6 times/yr. always a pleasure. friendly staff. good course conditions. pace of play usually good. more challenging on windy days here on the shoreline of Lake Erie. very competitive rates make this course a very good value.
