Lake/River at Fowler's Mill Golf Course

FMs layout is one of the best anywhere, however 5 hr rounds, fairways cut way too close and damaged greens are your thing then go for it. I might recommend a friend play the course, then again I may not.

I really enjoy this course. The double dog leg par 5's are extremely challenging to par, especially since the trees in front of the greens are very mature and impossible to hit over.

Cleaning up the waste areas, improving traps course is in great shape

The cart paths and bridges used to be in very bad shape but have been very much improved and repaired which makes getting around the course more pleasant. Good that a lot of tall growth has been either removed or cut back to make getting to the green easier. Some greens still need repair in a few spots. Overall, a much improved experience on a good - and tough - golf course.

There was maybe 1 green that wasn’t laden with rot. Lots of bare patches.

This course has always been at the high end for area courses. The course and grounds are not as well kept especially for the prices.

This course has a lot of great aspects..like design, layout and most maintenance. They are losing the greens with several Silver Dollar spots on every single green that they have painted green to attempt to hide. The greens are concerning to me, as I am afraid they may have to kill them and start over if they cannot resolve the Silver Dollar problem. It’s such a great layout and is so frustrating to see the sand being of poor quality/quantity and the greens starting to go..ballsy of them to charge $85 for a morning ‘weekend’ round IMO.

The Greens have some kind of disease that effects the putting.

Decided to splurge and pay $85 to play a courses that has the reputation as being one of the premier courses in Northeastern OH. I was very disappointed. Most of the greens showed signs of severe disease (see image). Greens were also very slow; appeared not to have been cut the day before. Sand traps lacked sand, some had rocks and pebbles or standing water and had not been racked in days (see image). Rough was high and had more clover than you would expect at a premier course. Bathrooms were not clean.

The round was enjoyable - especially the wonderful threesome I got to play with. Course was in good shape, staff was friendly.
Pace of play was not brisk - not brutally slow, but still slower than I would prefer. 5+ hour round.

Wonderful conditions, and terrific routings. We will be back.

Used to play here a lot more often growing up. Decided to play for the memories and enjoyment of layout and course conditions. Greens were in pretty brutal shape, fairways were ok, just wasn’t anywhere close to the beauty I remember it being. Won’t play here again unless it’s a hot deal for less than $40.

Only thing good about the course was it’s fairways. Greens are in horrible shape for a course that charges a premium price of $85 per round on the weekend. Parts of the course are poorly maintained/overgrown. Hole 7 par 3, missing the green just to the left puts you in danger - the ground is infested with a TON hornets nests, which lead into the 8th tee as well. People have raved about this course in the past but it certainly isn’t worth it.
