Regulation Eighteen at Shawnee Hills Golf Course

Starter has a attitude every single time i play there. He should retire or find a new job.

It is great that the cart paths are now paved. Makes for a much more pleasant outing. Course is in great shape.

Not sure what happened this summer into fall but most of the fairways are have substantial burnt and dead grass with cracked and split ground. Makes hitting off the fairway worse than the rough sometimes or there's a sudden stoppage of ball roll due to getting stuck in a crevice. Greens were rock hard and landing a solid pitch even 20 yards before the pin risked running the ball off the green!! And to make matters worse, the pace of play was so slow we literally waited anywhere between 5-15 mins just to tee off at each hole, really killed the flow of the whole day.

Greens were recently punched, which is fine except the sand fill was done poorly and the green fees associated were the same price as usual. There should have been a big deduction. Playing in those greens made the round relatively bad. Other than greens the course was great. The starter had a terrible attitude towards the players though which was very off putting. I think that if the greens were not recently airated and the starter wasn’t an old grumpy good for nothing man, then the experience would have been 5 stars all around!! No doubt.

I couldn't enjoy the game because I had to mulch the entire course and sprinkle sand on the green. It was supposed to be 18 holes, but I played 9 holes twice.

The course was in a horrible condition. Fairways full of fresh airriated cores and the the greens sanded some as much as beaches. On top of that they had sprinklers going on 4, 5 and 7 so hard to play around it. Shoes has .5 " of clay/soil under them.
The cart guy complaining it takes him 25 minutes to clean a cart. Normally we like this course but for the next week to 10 days, stay away

Played this course with a group of 12 guys on a Saturday, first and foremost the staff was about as rude as rude can be. We showed up and asked which carts we could put our bags on and we were told “your carts aren’t ready yet, you’ll have to wait, and you can’t take the carts to the range so just wait”. So we had 12 guys, and 12 golf bags, and food, and beer, just chilling under a tree by the cart stand. One old guy on a power trip told 4 of us we could load up in a couple carts, old man on a power trip #2 then yelled at our guys and told them they couldn’t do that. We’re now 15 minutes from our first tee time. Finally, old man on a power trip #1 finally told us we could load up carts. So we all pull to the first tee and make fun of each other as the groups tee off, and old man on a power trip #2 yelled at us for being too loud and there were too many people on the tee. So there was that, off we go, course is pretty flat and boring on the front, has more character on the back, we finish up in a monsoon and pulled the carts up under cover. Young man on a power trip #1 proceeds to yell at our group to get the carts off the concrete. As we attempt to stay dry and get our bags off the carts under cover, he continues to berate us, and nearly becomes physical to get us to move the carts. So we move them, and get soaked, as he continues to berate other guests who had done the same thing as us. Overall an average course, wouldn’t visit again simply because of the rude staff.

Have played this course a few times every year and this is the worst I’ve ever seen the greens. Hopefully this is a passing condition but these greens are below the normal metro park quality. The course was fine other than that

Greens and fairways are in great shape! Layout of the Back 9 is nice!

Have to start by saying I always enjoy playing Shawnee Hills, but what's with the 17th Tee (Senior/Women) must have a 15-20 degree tilt! This is not a temporary tee, this has been this way for years. As a handicapped golfer this tee always poses a challenge for me to keep my balance. Have to question the logic of the head groundskeeper of this course, this does not seem to be a major project. Please, Please, Please level this tee already.

Shawnee is a nice course in the Cleveland Metroparks. It has a driving range, putting green, pro shop, dining facility and cart that sells drinks. Overall, I felt the course was pretty well maintained and cut. I had no issues with the staff friendliness and felt they were all nice. The 11th and 12th holes are really beautiful holes in my opinion. The only issue I had was the pace of play. Ahead of us was a 4-some that the staff allowed one of them to walk while the others rode. I generally have no issues with walkers but on a weekend or holiday, this should be limited to non-peak hours (after 2pm). This slowed everyone down and made our round go over 5 hours on a pretty easy course that should have taken 4 at most. I would play here again though,
