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.

Golfer Reviews
Lake Erie
The course was is great shape, especially the greens.
Saw a Bald Eagle on hole #12! One of my favorite courses for the $$.
Greens were poorly airated and the mower followed us till we lost him after 7 holes. He did not stop while we're on the boxes or the greens.
Fun but packed
I love the metropark courses however they are typically very busy. Our tee time was 10:56 and we didn't tee off untill 11:15. The course was jammed up with a several minute wait at every hole. It was extremely wet aswell so I wouldn't recommend playing here after a day or nights rain but the greens were great, the fairways were great and the staff was very friendly. Overall a great course but very busy on a sunday
very nice course
the course was in great condition and a bit of a challenge but a lot of fun
Fantastic! Great Conditions and Course Layout
My friend and I bought a hot deal offline for $16 each for 18 and a cart on a Tuesday late morning. We had a friend who ended up joining us and paid full price at $32 which is still not bad.
Course was in excellent shape! There was no one on the course so pace of play was excellent. Fairways were cut nice and in great shape.
Pros: Course was green, fairways were cut fantastic and grown in nice. Greens were in awesome shape! Course layout was nice with tree lined fairways and some challenging holes such as #11
Cons: Greens were tough to read, seemed like every putt was straight even if there was a break. My friends said the same. Were not very true greens, could use some rolling. No beverage cart, but could be because it was a Tuesday late morning and also there is a lack in the off course amenities mainly because it is a metropark and did not expect a full blown bar or after round hangout like other courses.
Overall: Excellent course and will play again and also recommend to others. Very fun course to play.
Mid-july review
Tee's,fairways and green's were in good shape however the rest of the course not given much attention. Staff seems a little lax when it comes to customer service and the Rangers are not very sharp.
Good layout
This course is on the shorter side but has the tight fairways to keep you honest off the tee. The layout is pretty awesome because of the doglegs and elevation changes. The fairways are not wide and lined with tall grass that may eat your golf ball. Pace of play is on the slower side due to the amount of people looking for their now lost ball and the large volume of golfers. It is a great course and worth the 1 hr. drive.
Hidden Gem
Played the course on October 26 th 2015. The course was in excellent shape with quick freshly cut greens. Staff had cleared most all leaves from this heavily treed course making it easy to find your ball in the late fall conditions. Clearly the superintendent takes great pride in his work as the course was very well taken care of. Although this is my first round at Lake Erie Metropark , I will return again. .
Lake erie Metropark
First time playing the course. For late October the course was in very good condition. If you spray the ball, stay away from the natural areas and tall grasses. Easy to lose a ball. Keep the ball in the fairway and a low score should result.
Worth the drive
Great course. Layout is picturesque. Greens and fairways in excellent conditions. Well worth the hour it took us to get to course!
Great Value!
I love Lake Erie Metropark golf course! The course was in great condition and the staff is fantastic!
Great course for the money
I can't say anything bad about this course. For a metro course, it was beyond what I expected. For $25, I had a nice cart and the entire course was in great condition. I'll be back next time in the area.
It is a golf course
I don't understand Metro Parks golf. Every time I book through GolfNow, they have some issue with the booking. I don't want to know that they have a problem.
This course was just ok today. I played 2 days after a rainfall and the course was still very wet with large puddles in most bunkers.
All in all, it was okay. It wasn't a great experience. Go Play
Fairly difficult course
My buddy and I had never played this course before yesterday. I was expecting something similar to Wesburn in South Rockwood. Not the case. It's one of the more challenging courses I've played in the area. Good amount of turns, water, and sand, mixed in with some narrow fairways surrounded by woods and high grass. We lost a lot of balls. The upkeep of the course was decent. The fairways and roughs were dry, which was nice when the ball was hit well because it rolled pretty far, adding to distance. The greens were damp and slow, as it had rained the night before, but that's an advantage for my personal putting game. The one thing I didn't like most was that the course was absolutely packed ahead of and behind us. We were playing ready golf so the twosome behind us could tee off, but then we'd run into the twosome in front of us as they were at the tee, or on the fairway. The whole day we felt like we were either rushing our play, or at a complete stand still. Overall, it's a course I'd definitely play again when they're not as busy.
The Best
Best course along Lake Erie... and along with it, the best weather you could ask for... :)
