Only if the money is right

What once used to be a phenomenal course is now all but gone. Maintenance is a huge issue here with a lot of overgrown weeds, uneven tee boxes, weeds over growing in bunkers, no other tee markers except the black tees, and green disease. I’m fortunate to play 18 here with a cart for only 20 dollars, which I think is a good deal if you get the same. I wouldn’t pay over $30 to play this course for being “a top 10 public course in Ohio”. Someone is being payed off to have this course in that caliber of lists. It’s a travesty that they are charging 85 dollars on weekends and 60 dollars on weekdays to play here. If you get a 20 dollar rate like I did, try it out. Other than that I would stay away.

Fantastic golf course, lousy ownership, cheapskates living on past history. If you cant afford to maintain the course, then sell & do us all a favor. Shame because in the past it was top 10 public in Ohio. Pete Dye course going down the tubes. Way over priced for conditions. CHEAP MILLIONARE OWNER.SAD

Course conditions

Course layout is absolutely beautiful.. I’ve heard so many on and off things about this course and had to try it out

Fairways mostly perfect

Greens.. all but a few are junk mostly dead patchy greens seems like that course has really let go of about half the features that most people look at while going to a golf course..very hard to believe this course is a top 10 course in Ohio especially over boulder creek/ sleepy hollow….. tell your greenskeeper he’s gotta get it together

Not what I expected from "A top rated course in Ohio"

We've recently been trying different courses in the area and had read multiple places that this was a top course in NE Ohio but it's apparent they don't keep up with it. The greens were patchy and probably one of the worst set of greens I've played on.

We got a good deal from Golfnow for 18 but I wouldn't drive 50 minutes again to play here and would recommend other courses in the area.

Usually one of my favorite courses to play in area. Greens and bunkers were in awful condition. Bunkers hadn’t been touched this year, and the greens were bumpy and dead/diseased on the majority of holes.

Fallen Off

Fowlers Mill has traditionally been the number 1 or 2 public course
in the area. Excellent Don Ross design, fantastic conditioning, good pace of play, solid range and practice greens.

No way around it, the course has really fallen off. The conditioning of the course was really disappointing to see. The greens were in sad shape, with a few touching on unplayable. The course was full of fallen, dead trees and brush. Missing signage and markers. Rotted out retaining walls and steps. Bunkers more dirt than sand. Carts were used from some other course and clunked and clanged through the round. Really disappointing for such a traditionally great course.

Windy weather
Used cart

Definitely not worth the money

There was no ranger, so we were held up by a twosome for nine holes. (We were a foursome.) The greens were quick but very spotty. The rough was too long for fall play. They apparently don’t have blowers for leaves, or decided not to use them. This is WEEKEND PLAY guys! To play this course for $85.00 was outrageous! I’ll remember this on my the next trip from South Carolina to play with my offsprings.

Greens on the verge of dying

Great layout but unfortunately way overpriced for greens that in multiple locations appear to be dying/infected with some kinda fungus. Very disappointing as it was one of the better courses in the area. If they don’t address this soon you might as well just blow up the greens because they won’t be puttable. . Fairways, tee boxes were good. Cart paths have vastly improved. But the greens are very concerning.
