Legacy In desperate need of repair

Fairways wrought with divots. Greens wrought with ball marks. 18 holes of neglect. Wouldn’t mind at half the price. In past course has been great. Could still be great. Not sure what the problem is. Probably supply chain issues.

Slow Round

Extremely slow round. 4 group back up on the 3rd hold. A few groups in front of us were scrambling and it still took over 4:30hrs for 18 holes. Waited on every tee shot on every hole. Will not be back for some time. 7 minutes apart on tee times is lunacy. I realize everyone wants to maximize profits, but that's simply not enough time between groups. Rangers do nothing to improve pace of play. If you want to play in a reasonable amount of time, play elsewhere.

Fantastic Course!

I've never played this course before, my girlfriend told me about it so I figured I'd check it out. I ended up buying her dinner last night b/c her recommendation was perfect. Upon entering the pro shop, the staff was friendly and pointed me in the right direction. The driving range was nice, lots of target to choose from between lob wedge to driver. As for the course, I was amazed not only how great of condition it was in but the views, the layout, the challenges (bunker, hazards, rough and pin placement). Loved the course, can't wait to play again in 2024 when I come back to Ohio.

Very nice course

I play this course several times throughout the year, the pace of play typically is slow. The course itself is usually in really good condition, greens roll true and hold your approach shots. I think it’s one of the better public courses on the west side of Cleveland.

Slow greens

Played here many times over the years and the course is in great condition. My only complaint is that the greens are very shaggy and slow. Putting is the most important part if golf. Not a fan of shaggy greens
