Shale creek is one of my favorite course in NE Ohio. The course is always in great shape and surprisingly the pace of play has been great the last couple times I have had a chance to play it.

Sleepy is a great public course, and it is in great condition these days. It is a challenging track that I enjoy playing but I'd just suggest to play it during the weekdays or very early on the weekends because the pace on most weekends is less then ideal.

I play about 35 to 40 rounds a year in various course in NE Ohio & fowler mill was in the best condition I've seen all year.

I played Pleasant Valley for the first & only time a couple weeks ago. I understand that course are struggling due to corona but unless this course gets it act together I doubt it'll be open in near future. I had to wait an hour after my tee time because they didn't have enough working carts, you can barely tell the difference between the fairways, greens & rough due to lack of general maintenance & upkeep. The greens were the worst I had seen in 25 years of golf and the fairways hadn't been cut in at least a week. I hate writing a poor review but this was the first round I've ever played were the course was in such bad shape I literally went home after whole 7.

Valley of the Eagle has great potential because the course layout is great & challenging but the course conditions on multiple wholes is less than desirable due to poor drainage. The staff is friendly and they have a great restaurant but they fact that their cart paths are made of dirt and are filled with ruts so at times I didn't know if I was in a golf cart or a bumper car. I have faith that as the course matures and they figure out the drainage & cart path this will be one of the Top public tracks in NE Ohio.
