Course has rebounded nicely over the last few years.

When Little Mountain first opened in the early 2000’s it was arguably one of the nicest courses not only in this region but in Ohio. At the turn of the decade the course really suffered with awful bunkers, poor greens, and very little effort to improve either. It will never be what it was when it opened but it’s good to see that they have result of many of those issues. Many of the bunkers are now in really good shape, the greens were a little bumpy but that’s expected late in the day after it will never be what it was when it opened but it’s good to see that they have resolved many of those issues. Many of the bunkers are now in really good shape, the greens were a little bumpy but that’s expected late in the day after heavy rain all week. It’s definitely worth playing again after years where it wasn’t worth getting near Little Mountain.

Challenging, yet fair

Easily the fastest greens we've played on all year. Par 70 course, with a great mix of holes. Ive heard that course conditions were great, and they met, if not exceeded, my expectations. Purchased a 4 some HOT DEAL for 854 tee time. Before we teed off (on time), we were let know that there was a full outing at 1PM. This meant that we had to play the round in 4 hours. We finished approached 18 green before 115PM. The course took our carts on the 18th hole to give to outing. I was extremely upset since we had to completely rush to empty our carts before even finishing putting on 18. Our bags were then left by the 18th green with no assistance after. One of our group member's phone was left in the cart. It's a good thing we finished on the green quickly and caught the groups cart who was headed out to their tee box. Course conditions were excellent, however, feeling rushed to finish did not suit me well.

Maybe next time

Always have enjoyed this course. However this was the first time out here this year. Extremely poor course time management. Glad you crammed in a bunch of times you weren’t able to accommodate during an outing. Then letting off people who were late to their tee time ahead of me. In addition to the greens being in poor shape my 5.5 hour round was so enjoyable. Will think twice before booking again.

Embarrassing

I have been playing golf for 50 years and these were the worst greens I have ever seen. Instead of normal aeration, they use a machine that puts deep grooves in the greens in two directions over the entire green. Also, covered with snow mold. Impossible to putt. The fairways were okay except for standing water everywhere and the roughs were way too thick and full of dandelions and weeds. The course was empty and I understand why. I have not played this course in five years because of poor condition, and now it is worse! For your own peace of mind, do not ever play Little Mountain even for free.

Challenging course

We've played here many times over the years and still enjoy the challenge! The course still seems to have some water issues on certain holes but overall, it was in good condition.

Becoming one of my favs

The course has great character and really nice views..played as a 2some and got done with the front in 1.5 hrs ran into a 4some on the back which slowed us down a bit but still got done in good time..the bunkers were in great shape the greens were rolling nice fast and true! The tee boxes could use a little work the fairways were in good shape..a great course over all and the staff is very friendly

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review our course, Little Mountain Country Club, and for the 3-stars. We are glad to hear that you had a friendly experience with our staff and that you enjoyed the scenic course layout. We are sorry to hear that the pace of play was a little slower on the back 9 holes, but It sounds you had a great overall customer experience. Thank you for choosing our course, in the Cleveland area, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Bad experience

I used to love Little Mountain. I considered it one of the top courses in the area and I hadn't played there in a couple of years. After my experience yesterday I most likely will not be back.
We were a twosome who arrived early to use the range. We were informed at the pro shop that the range was closed due to heavy rain the night before. Understandable. After chipping and putting for 20 mins we were ready to tee off, 30 minutes ahead of schedule. The starter informed us that there was a threesome ahead of us. I said that we're only 2 so we'll be faster. At that point one of the threesome said we could go ahead. The starter then said that we were paired up with another twosome. Of course they weren't there yet but he insisted on sending the threesome ahead of us. We were waiting on every shot... 5 hours for a round. The threesome never acknowledged us to play through and there wasn't a ranger to be found.
I've worked at a golf course so I understand tee times. But use a little common sense. A twosome will ALWAYS play faster than a threesome. And to not have a ranger is inexcusable.

Very friendly staff and great course conditions

I had not played the course since last year. I must say the maintenance of the sand traps has vastly improved. The greens and fairways were in great shape. The pace was very slow but at least there was a ranger out trying to speed up the play.

The mountain is in great shape

Sand is the bunkers! They are getting rid of some of the cavernous bunkers and making them grass - great idea. Greens in great shape! Value on golf now awesome - $39...Would love them to consider making number 10 a par 5.....would just make par 72. Number 7 is 489 yards and a par 5....10 is 470 from tips and a par four??

Great course

Always heard good things about this course and finally got out to play....one of the best courses that I've played. Really nice layout, bunkers with real fluffy sand...
Group ahead of us played really slow, would of been nice to have a marshal out to move them along a little fast.
This is a must play course for all level of golfer's.

Don't play here if you want less than 5 hours

They punished those that play early by making us wait so they could put out groups on the back before us. There wasn't a ranger on the course, and pace of play suffered for it. Worst of all is the clubhouse told us to just deal with it being slow. You have to just realize it will be 5+ hours given the mismanagement. Too bad since the course layout is so good.

First Time Playing

disappointing

First off, the course was great golf wise other areas not so much. We get to course about 20 min before tee time. Starter tells us two groups in front of us will tee off before us neither of those groups were ready to go. One was on putting green, the other at the bar. We sat in our cart ready to go but weren't allowed to play until our schedule tee time. That's wrong if your early and ready to go groups ahead of you aren't you should be granted the time its called ready golf. Second, the back 9 we had to sit every hole 15-20 minutes why because 3 groups in front of us were doing best ball for money. Anybody who cares about golf knows rhythm means a lot and when you sit when your playing well it sucks. Third a group of teenagers /high school age were playing, it was obvious they didn't care about golf at all, maybe hit it 10 yds at a time. They are driving around in carts noisy, going by tee boxes, greens in the cart jumping in/out of the cart on the back of the cart not caring about other golfers. Very disappointed in my experience of this course from these perspectives as I drove over an hour to play here. Only way I'll be back is if they guarantee me this type of nonsense wont happen again and actually enforce etiquette. Knowing Jimmy Hanlin is the lead guy here I'm surprised this kind of stuff is allowed here its a shame a beautiful course allows this type of stuff to ruin it for people like me who enjoy golf for the sport it is and not for the its all about making money nonsense.

Pace of play

I love the golf course. But the pace of play on a Saturday is pretty ridiculous three groups on most holes had to wait on every shot.

SLOW Pace.

I do not do reviews but this was ridiculous. Course was so overbooked! There were 3 to 4 groups on each hole for all 18 holes. Had to wait 10-15 min per shot, sometimes even longer. Round took forever. Will not go back

Good course, getting better.

Tough layout for seniors as the back nine has three par fours of 400 plus yards from the senior tees! They are improving course conditions this year by filling in or reducing the size of some of the large and many sand traps. Course conditions are good . Would say excellent but the rough has bare patches in several places. Friendly staff. Patio dining is nice, but limited menu.
