Played at Hemlock Springs the other day. Very fine shape. Greens were great. For $20-$25 during the week you can't go wrong. A true, legitimate par 72 course. Enjoyable day.

Played Little Mountain about two weeks ago and the conditions were also horrible. It was like playing on a rock pile. The bunkers were terrible, the greens would not hold and the ground was so hard that the course was playing about 5000 yards long. Meanwhile Gleneagles, which is practically in my backyard, is in great condition and is a joy to play. Same weather in Twinsburg as in Concord...I guess one course just cares about the golfers and the other does not.

I also played Little Mountain CC yesterday and was surprised/disappoint ed in the conditions. The tees had recently been aerated leaving quarter-sized holes that weren't very far apart, often making teeing the ball awkward. The bunkers were in awful shape, full of rocks and dirt. The fairways and tees had clearly not been mowed in over a week. It may be early in the season for them--I don't understand how May 10th is early with this spring--but I thought the conditions were inexcusable based on that course's reputation

Played at Little Mountain yesterday and was disappointed with the overall condition of the course. The bunkers were filled with golf ball size rocks, we took free lifts so we did not damage our clubs. The score card was white tees only and was printed on a photo copy - nice!
The carts were in rough shape. There was one person working the pro shop and the kitchen - why? This course is second highest ranked in this web site with a score of 92, I would lower this ranking to 80 max.

I asked the super about the greens this weekend and he said their irrigation system cant be used as long as there is a freeze threat. When I was waiting to tee off it was 26 degrees.

Played at Powderhorn today. Somewhat disappointed in the condition of the course. I know it's been dry but the greens are like concrete and brownish looking. Ball rolled good and fast but forget getting any approach shot to hold the green. Played Hemlock Springs yesterday and conditions were much better.

Read the post concering Hemlock Springs; played that course every week back in the seventies. Went last year and played it for the first time in 25 years. Very disappointed. Seems like nothing has changed for the better.

Great site for any golfer in NE Ohio.Also, Aurora C.C. is rated far too low in the top 20 in my humble opinion. :!cool:

We have worked on a system of java and flash photo display systems. However, with so many courses, and so many photos, we have yet to find one that works easily within our system. If you have one to suggest, let us know. Sooner or later, we will have one such system that preloads the photos with thumbnails and then you can scroll through them.

Great Site! Is there a way to scroll through the individual pictures for any given golf course? This would make it much more user friendly. Thanks!
