Three shots to get to the corner of a tree-filled dogleg…almost the prototype for the parkland-style nightmare.Īny of these players-high or low handicap-may find themselves surprised when they go looking for a slight slice that only barely edged into the trees. Worse, the hole can become a nightmare for players who don’t get up the hill, and are forced to hit again. It is not the most popular hole at the course.Ĭlocked at 497 from the back tees, No 14 sounds reachable on paper-but the combination of an uphill tee shot, no real chance of clearing the creek at the end of the lay-up area (325 yards of carry), and forest filing the inside of a sharp dogleg right mean this green is only attainable for the biggest hitters, who can clear the tree line with a shot traveling more than 220. At the farthest corner of the property, adjoining the Brecksville Reservation, is the No. The first hole, a reachable Par 5, travels downhill, as does everything that follows it, eventually reaching the Cuyahoga River. national because it gained National status at the turn of the millennium, long after suburbia grew in. The course itself is a rarity in that it sits within the National Park, but Cuyahoga features more private businesses within its borders than any other U.S. It’s not quite a page in Ansel Adams’s greatest hits, but this view comes to you courtesy of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, a long network of acquired property and existing metro parks stretching along the title river for more than 20 miles. At the perfect Fall moment, a vista of autumn leaves stretches for upwards of 20 miles.
Looking past the first fairway and into the horizon at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course is among the best you’ll find. Ohio is not a state where views come in plenty. Our first entry is a worthwhile municipal offering in the Greater Cleveland / Akron areas, Sleepy Hollow Golf Course.
“ Ohio in 50 Features” aims to highlight the Top 50 courses in the Buckeye State and focus on one key element at the course that gives a greater representation of the the club’s style, its architect, its history, and-hopefully-some fodder for you to check it out when you’re in the region. Selecting a feature-a green, a bunker, a creek, even a dip in the fairway-that best defines those courses is an even more subjective exercise…which is of course why we’re doing it. Ranking the courses in any region-especially one as golf -rich as Ohio-is very much grasping at pins.
