Great course, slow play on back

Tanglewood has a great layout but was not in as good shape as usual today because of the rain earlier in the week. The course is normally in above average condition. The play on the front nine was okay - we got around in a little over 2 hours as a threesome with a threesome in front of us. When we got to the back nine, we saw that more than two holes had opened up between the group in front of the group in front of us and the next group. Play had slowed down considerably on the back nine and we were waiting on almost every shot. We skipped ahead two holes so that we could finish the round in a reasonable time frame. After we finished, had loaded the car and driven out of Tanglewood, we saw the group in front of us was just teeing off on the 17th hole and the other group was still on the hole. The rangers need to do a better job of speeding up play when large gaps appear or requiring the slow group to skip a hole or let other groups through.

A Repeated 9

The staff was very friendly upon arrival. Unfortunately, there was a tournament going on and we had to go off on the back 9. When we were ready to make the turn the front 9 was backed up as they were letting folks off on the front 9. As a result we ended up playing the back 9 a second time. The course itself had a mediocre layout and was not too difficult. We were able to play in under 3 hours and that wasn't bad. I doubt I would go back again.

Great course

Fowlers Mill remains one of the best public courses in northeast Ohio where there are plenty of good courses to choose from. The layout is challenging with lots of trees, elevation changes, plenty of strategic sand traps and water. The course has tees to challenge every level of golfer and give each level of golfer a chance to enjoy the course. The course was in excellent shape. The greens are fast, but not slippery fast, and true. Played mid-week and the pace of play was not great - it took 4 1/4 hours for our threesome to complete the round.

Very Good Course, Weekday morning round in 3 hours

Hawthorne has a fairly challenging layout with some quirky holes (#11 immediately comes to mind). Three of the four par 3's are very challenging and the last five holes are very challenging as well. Davey has kept the course in very good conditions, but the amenities have suffered. On a Thursday morning, two weeks in a row, we played as a twosome in about 3 hours. With the special this week on Golf Now - it was a great deal at $22.
