GREAT CONDITION

Course is in great condition, and greens are lightening fast on difficult slopes, so choose your tee box carefully...you will need all your extra strokes for all your 3 putts...lol

Great course, highly recommended to play before seasons end. Extremely friendly staff too...

Nice Course but slippery, tough greens

The greens will keep me from coming back. I know people like a challenge but these greens are extremely challenging and fast. Three putts (and worse) for a decent putter make for an unpleasant round even on a beautiful day.

If you like slow play, you will love this course.

We were a two-some behind a two-some that was, we learned later, behind 8 four-somes

The two-some quit after 9 because when we got to #10 there were 5 four-somes on the hole. I assume they all stopped at the turn to slowly feed their faces. Never did the four-some offer to let us play through. In addition to being slow, the four-somes we observed were also horrible golfers.

And, as one might expect, not a single ranger was present on the course. $39.50 for a hot deal and a round of golf that took more than 5 hours. The next time I drive 70 minutes to play golf, it will be at one of the other "GOOD" course in the Chardon Area.

Whomever owns this course should be ashamed.

Perfect Round

A good day golfing is better than a perfect day doing anything else. Just a gorgeous day to get out on the links.
This is one of the premier courses in Northeast Ohio.
Always in great shape and just a picture perfect layout. Friendly staff and I finished 18 in just over 3 hours. Wowza.

Responding to Comment

I am responding to question from the course: I have played this course many times over a few years, however my last trip was disappointing because the tee boxes were placed in really strange angles and the greens were unusually VERY fast with pin placements on crests in at least 5 holes. I have played this course many times, but it was not like this previosuly

Why pay a ranger?

Course was beautiful as always, but the pace of play was awful. I understand it's Sunday morning, but when you literally have 14 people on one hole that is just poor management. There was a ranger that passed a few times. Maybe he doesn't realize a 6-some is not a normal group or that he should ask a poorly, slowly playing group to pick up the pace. 5 hour and 30 minute round is not enjoyable. I'll never some back here on a Sunday again.

A beautiful and well conditioned golf course!

Unfortunately, it is extremely narrow with tree lines galore. But, the thing that separates this course from all others are the ultra-sloping greens on every hole. This course had the most difficult greens I have ever played.

Also, do not be intimidated by the name. Chardon Lakes had one small lake on hole #17. It should have been named Chardon Woods.
