Golf season for the Dewsweepers ended suddenly this fall. We play Sunday mornings of course, and chronicle our rounds and local courses here weekly.
This fall the weather was not good on many of our fall Sundays, and then the cold came in for good. But, we still played a ton of great local courses and it's only fitting we dish out some deserved kudos here. These are our Five Favorite Courses we played this season. This is not a "best of" list. These are the courses we enjoyed the most for many reasons. We play courses all over from Sandusky to
Willoughy, to Canton, to Eastern Portage County.
Should be noted all courses we played, and there were a ton, were all in great shape and all local superintendents should be proud of their courses, during another challenging weather year for them.
I will also link you back to our original review so you can learn about the courses in case you have never played there. So from the Dewsweepers Joe Red. Tex, Beef and Wynn....
The Dewsweepers Top Five Favorite Courses for 2014
1/ Sugar Bush - What a great track we played for the first time this season in Portage County. We
played this early in the year and on this day it was a bit wet, but we loved this
course. Very challenging, great character. We will play this at least twice this year.
2/ Manikiki - Simply a great course in the MetroParks in Willoughby. This is an old school course
with a rich history, and a great rate to boot for the quality of course it is. Simply a
gorgeous place to play, worth the drive. Second year on this list.
3/ Shale Creek - In Medina. This was right up there with the great places we played. And this could
have been the toughest course we played all year. And the day we played it was
early in the season and windy. Fabulous place. Play it.
4/ Thunderbird Hills South - In Huron. One of the best kept secrets in the area. Second year on this
list. Young course part of a 36 hole complex that is fabulous and getting better every
year. Worth the drive. Play the North and the South, would make a great trip.
5/ Maplecrest - Near Kent is one of the fun places we play. It is not a long course, but a shotmakers
course. Fun to play and you can score if you are hitting the ball straight. Old and
mature. Wonderful and quaint place to play.
5/ (Tie) Brookledge - Cuyahoga Falls. For a city owned course, this place is terrific! Amazing
shape and a great staff. If you have never played this place, you should. Challenging and
wonderful. Country club quality for a public course.
Courses to keep an eye on in 2015
Cossett Creek - (Formerly Brunswick Hills) Brunswick. New attitude and major improvements
there. Exciting to see, and this could be a great place to play soon. Still work to do
but they are on their way.
Hickory Nut - Columbia Station. The improvements to this course over the past couple years are
amazing. This is really coming along, and is improving all the time in every way.
In few more seasons, this place could be incredible.
Springvale - North Olmsted. This place is in the middle of a major renovation from top to bottom.
The course, though simply designed was in AMAZING shape this summer. This was
the surprise of the season for us. Great place!
There the are! Look for the Dewsweepers Sunday Morning Golf Course Reviews this spring right here! Hopefully starting in March!
