Rubbish

Yes it’s early in the season, but this track is horrible. The stories from buddy’s about disrepair from tee to green are true. I only played here cuz it was cheap and my first time out this year. It proved to be a waste of $15.

Sadly Slipping away

Once beautiful course that is slowly fading away. Chewed up tee boxes devoid of grass, weeds in bunkers, browned out fairways. Poor overall condition, very disappointing . Greens were decent in all fairness. Usually play here 4-5 times a year as I travel around NE Ohio and kind of sad to say that today was probably my last. Good bye Rawiga...

It’s sad. Last week my friend and I endured a three hour 20 minute front nine. Tonight, we were denied playing at 6:33 pm. The cutoff was 6:30. The back nine had the first four holes open, the front nine had a foursome on #1 fairway. Somehow, the guy behind the counter didn’t seem to understand that we would play faster than the foursome on the front. That’s it for me. I was a member there for 15 years when it was private and love the course, however, it’s not worth the hassles. By the way, we drove to my club, Medina CC, and teed off at 7:05 pm. We finished well before dark! You’d think Rawiga would have wanted our $36.

Sliding downhill

Disappointed in the significant decline at Rawiga. Burnt out fairways, t boxes devoid of turf and littered with debris, unkept bunkers and general poor conditions. And SLOW. REAL SLOW. Greens were playable, but nowhere they used to be. Very Sad. Cannot recommend this once proud facility and cannot see myself returning, even for free!

Tired and neglected

It’s been a few years since my last visit, but Disappointed overall at Valleiaire. Never a spectacular track, but very tired and worn out. Chewed up t boxes and bald spots all over the fairway. Late in the season, to be sure, but it appears that maintenance on the course has not been a priority this year. Unlikely to be returning at any price.

Green and lush

Highly recommend this track. Been playing PV for many years, and it just gets better. Fabulous conditions, greens were true and faster than usual. A bit rough riding the cart paths as they are in need of repairs, but considering the choice of investing in the maintenance of the course or the asphalt, they made the right choice. As nice or nicer than more expensive courses like Pine Hills or Shale Creek. Back 9 is the real deal, every hole has its challenges- especially the final three. You won’t be disappointed.

A Must Play!

Can't say enough about this track! Great assortment of holes and in excellent condition considering the horrible lack of rain. Well manicured and green enough. Greens were fast and true, and I was lucky enough to make a few putts that helped the scorecard. Staff was very friendly. Drove 75 minutes to get here, and I can't wait to get back! A must play for the avid player. Highly recommend Sawmill Creek!

Any way the wind blows...

Well kept course, very green in spite of the lack of rain. I play here a few times a month when the "hot deal" is good enough. Only gripes - inconsiderate players that don't repair divots or fix ball marks, and the darned wind that always seems to be gusting in my face no matter which way I am hitting the ball! Oh well. Highly recommended course.

Pleasant Sunday afternoon

Very playable course, a few interesting holes. Course played slow, fairways and greens could use a tighter cut...perhaps weather related. New clubhouse under construction should be nice when completed later this year. Nothing extraordinary good or bad

Very nice track. Played lousy, but course is beautiful with rolling hills and very receptive greens. Should be even nicer as the trees and flowers boom. Looking forward to playing Ridge Top again.

Fading away

Fabulous track in need of a cash infusion. Bunkers becoming overgrown weeds sprouting up every where, greens declining. The darn trains rolling through are pretty annoying. This grande concept of a golf course in the middle of no where is dying a slow death.

My new favorite course!

Fantastic course in excellent condition. Beautiful rolling hills , challenging scenic holes loaded with mature trees. super slick greens with subtle nuances made things tricky. Not incredibly long, which made it more fun for me. I look forward to playing again

Work in Progress

Excellent, well maintained greens. It is clear that management has prioritized the water allocation on the greens. The rest of the course can best be described as a work in progress. A great value and a pleasant course to whack the ball around on a Sunday afternoon.

Deplorable, almost unplayable shape.

Weeds galore, horrible t boxes, uncut, unfertilized, overgrown, greens of mud dirt and sand. Cart paths impassable in places, some areas unsafe. A once spectacular course in need of major care and attention. Surely there is a buyer out there who cares to return this once grand course to its deserved glory.

Pleasantly Surprised!

Very nice layout with some challenging holes. Impressive mature trees and plenty of water. Not in Country Club condition, but not horrible. Very playable considering recent rains. Will play again!

Very very nice

Enjoyed my day at one of the more under appreciated courses around. Greens are excellent, and course is in top shape over all, though the cart paths are showing their age. Back is more challenging, with the final 3 holes being amongst the challenging trio ANYWHERE. LOVE THIS TRACK!
