We surveyed over 100 courses to find the very best public golf Cleveland and North East Ohio have to offer. Thoughtful design and fine conditioning will challenge your game and thrill your golf intellect. Several in the Top 20 have received national recognition and are worthy of consideration as destination courses.

Aurora Golf Club bring top-20 game from the private sector to the public. Even though Ellsworth Meadows wasn't downgraded, it was the victim of Top-20 crowding. Manakiki keeps getting better moving up a a few points.
