Rude grounds crew!

The rude grounds crew following my group mowing from tee box to green for 3 consecutive holes was inexcusable. Extremely unprofessional!!!! Whatever I liked about the course was overshadowed by my experience with the 2 gentleman mowing the grass. Thanks for ruining my round of golf.

Great course for all

This course was so much fun to play. Truly a hidden gem! It’s a course that is fun for all types of golfers because how each golfer chooses to approach the hole. The skilled golfer has a good chance to achieve a great score by playing with some risk whereas the beginner or weekend golfer can have fun playing the hole the simplest and most straightforward way. Personally I shot one of my best scores here the first time I played it with a 79!

You’ll love it… Great layout, a must play

Always a pleasure to play, love the layout, and staff are always great. Course is always in great shape and one of the few places that actually has character with many different views and a ton of risk reward options.
In my opinion it’s one of the best courses in this area and is always a blast to play.
Give this course a shot, I guarantee you’ll return.

Fun Course + Nice Layout

Course layout and condition were very good. Greens were fast but not impossible. Pace of play was a little slow. Group of four in front of us did not keep up with the group in front. They also didn't let us play through (2 in our group). The golf carts also gave us some problems as they struggled to get up some of the hills and were slow and did ultimately run out of gas on 18. Overall a fun course.

Great value, friendliest asst superintendent, fast green MOST TEE BOXES BAD

The wife and I were in Amish country by Millersburg and I saw the ratings on the scores so for $25 and she was a great value a lot of undulations and elevation changes. It was very slow played with no ranger. Most of the boxes were in really rough shape but the fairways and greens were pretty good considering how dry it’s been in Ohio as well as Michigan where we live.

The lady in the gentleman in the small Doublewide clubhouse were very friendly and let us out about an hour early would definitely play again.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Played this course as part of a golf trip to/around the Cleveland area in late May 2023. This course was included on our itinerary based on its listing as a Top Course by Golf Advisor.

PACE: Played twilight after an outing. Once the 4some ahead of us let us thru (Thank you!) we never had anyone ahead or behind us.

CONDITIONS: Excellent... all of it! Greens were fast and true. Tees were in good shape. Fairways were good, and bunkers splashed well.

STAFF: The club house is like a double-wide trailer. The gentleman working in there was incredibly helpful and friendly. Answered our questions and seemed genuinely interested in our experience.

VALUE: A fairly priced course.

LAYOUT: Played the Blue tees (6,300). This course is pretty incredible. It winds thru, over, and around the hills of the property. Some of the tee shots are awesome (#6, #10, #13). There is plenty of water on this course to keep you honest, but it never felt overwhelming. The variety of holes allowed me to use every club in my bag. I wouldn't walk this course, but I did see others using their push carts.

Of our trip, this was easily our favorite course.
