"Great course"

10/20/26: Review by B-Man

Olde Sycamore is now one of the more dependable public courses for conditions and rates. It is a fun layout where you don't need driver off the tee very often and I've played it for over 2 decades. So it feels like an old friend when I get back here to play. The greens...

3/15/13 - Edgewater Golf Club "Best of the best" This was my first time playing Edgewater and I was very impressed. This is a very good tract, well designed and in great shape for this time of the year. The layout was really enjoyable, giving the golfer opportunities of risk and reward. The greens were in absolutely perfect condition, rolling true and quick. The tee boxes (though dormant) had plenty of grass so it wasn't like you were hitting out of sand. A few fairways did have some drainage areas but we had just had about a week of rain. We didn't see a single other group all day and was able to play in about 3 hours. Overall this place was fantastic. Read The Review
4/10/13 - Rocky River Golf Club "Great course" Played Rocky River on 4/10/13. The bermuda was beginning to green up with the 80 degree weather but most of the grass is still dormant. The fairways gave you some tight lies but that goes with the time of the year. The greens (re-done about a year ago) are still very hard. The grass is growing well and there are very few bare spots. However, the firmness makes approach shots very difficult and a times unfair. I got a online rate for $17, which is a steal for this course. I'd be hard pressed to pay the full rate though. On a side note, the starter (or master of the tee) really loves giving instructions. Read The Review
