Nice course but short staffed

Course parking lot was full but was able to tee off 15 minutes early. That was a plus. The problem was golf carts were not fully charged and had to switch carts at the turn and then had to call for a new charged cart on the 16th hole. So needed three different carts to play 18 holes of golf. Also, pushing carts up hill is not my idea of an enjoyable Sunday of golf. I will say that when I mentioned this to the nice lady at the register she was sympathetic and so I got two golf vouchers to make up for the inconvenience. We will be back to play this course because I like the layout but I certainly hope they hire some dependable help.

Best kept secret in Northeastern Ohio

Jewel of a course. The price is right and the course plays awesome. The reception from the host is very professional. You will seem as if you're on your home course.

Fun course

The course was in very good shape for as dry as it is. The staff was extremely helpful. One of our foursome list a hundred dollar bill and when he called back they honestly said they found it and gave it back to him. Will definitely return. Nice layout with some challenging holes.

Poor etiquette

I enjoy this course and have played it several times this year even though it is a good hike for me to get to. The only problem is that foursomes do not ask me (as a single) to play through. I mean it is either they wait 5 minutes for me to play through or I wait 15 minutes at every hole for them.

Powderhorn fun

I always enjoy playing here. We hardly ever have to wait on other golfers ahead of us. It has a nice layout with easy to somewhat difficult holes. I`ll be back.

Too slow

I generally like this course but the pace of play on a Wednesday morning was unacceptable. There was no league and not even any foursomes but folks playing very slow talking on cell phones and appeared to be giving lessons all while not allowing faster groups to play through.

Great Price worth the trip

There are a few quirky holes and blind shots here but the course is much more enjoyable the more you play it. The greens were in great shape and the pace of play was fantastic. It is too far away unless the golf now price is pretty good.

Good for the money

The greens are nice and the fairways were decent. Stray off the fairways, though, and grass is patchy and the ground is hard. Added incentive to hit the fairway!
I'd recommend the course to someone looking for value but not necessarily a great track.
