Excellent course. Many public courses are just up an back of varying lengths. Brookledge has interesting and different holes., more like a designed country club. I strongly recommend it for elder or beginning golfers. For the more experienced and better golfers, the play from the tips will challenge you. The greens putt well and hold well as the weather will allow.. Try Brookledge and you will be back.

Fox Den is a great municipal course with an attached driving range for warm up/lessons. The staff is super friendly. Remember that this is a municipal course and most the marshals and cart people are volunteers. It is minimally staffed but has good lessons and a pro shop that stocks necessities. I strongly recommend that you try this course which is among the best of the reasonably priced northern Ohio golf courses.

Brookledge is a great public course with a variety of holes. It is not the usual up and back public golf course. Short holes, long holes, but mainly interesting holes. Greens are in great condition and putt well. I would recommend this course to the average and senior golfer. Do yourself a favor and try Brookledge. You will return.

Brookledge is a great public course for the money. The staff could not be friendlier. I am, and play with seniors (75-85 yo) and from the front tees the course is challenging, yet doable. I like the relief differences and the variety of holes on the course. It is NOT a boring course, while still being playable. I would strongly recommend anyone to try playing it. Good greens and an interesting layout.

Brookledge is a great course for the average golfer. It is challenging enough to be interesting but a not excellent golfer can score a bogey on most of its holes. They do have senior tees that take some of the distance requirement out of the initial drive.
The conditions were cold with a moist fairway due to recent rains (cart path only for carts). Fairways were in good shape, but the greens were outstanding for January play. A big "Well done" to the grounds crew.

We will certainly be back. You owe it to yourself to try Brookledge.

Grantwood looks like a flat course wehn you drive up. It isn't. Not hilly, but there is some terrain that comes into play. It has some nice long holes. Good hazards (#3 water makes it very interesting - approach HAS to carry the pond). This is a great course for the average or intermediate golfer. The greens are well maintained and very puttable. There are some marvelous holes for senior golfers that are challenging but do not require monster shots.
Well done to the grounds crew for the condition of the course. I have played it often in all seasons and it has always been well maintained. I strongly recommend that you try it. If you do, you will be back.

Do not fail to miss playing Hawthorne Valley.. It is challenging, yet playable by seniors or average golfers. There is lots of relief in its topography and there are challenging hazards, but they are masterabvle. The course has always been if marvelous shape when we have played it (at least once a month - usuall more often) I think that it is the most course for the money in the Cleveland area. If you try it you will be back. Great putting greens.

Grantwood is one of my favorite NE Ohio courses. It has a variety of holes and approaches and is never boring. The course is very well kept. The greens have just enough relief to be interesting to put on. Most are not huge greens, so accurate approaches are needed.
The price is always reasonable, but was less due to winter conditions after Thanksgiving. I recommend that you try this course

Windmill Lakes is a long course for an older golfer. I consider it somewhat boring as most of the holes are straight away. The greens, on the other hand, are some of the most fun and challenging I have ever putted on.
I absolutely would recommend you pay Windmill Lakes at least once, and if you like it and are a long hitter return often. The price we paid was a winter rate special after Thanksgiving . The course is ALWAYS in great shape and kept up well. I do not recommend it when the weather is wet though.

Hawthorne Valley is one of the prettiest and best kept courses in the Cleveland/Akron area. It has a good variety of holes with interesting fairways and approaches. It does not require vast length to play well. It is more of an accuracy course. Greens are good and interesting. Hard to read on some, but the condition is well kept. The whole course is well maintained and a joy to play.
