About this course
Sleepy Hollow Golf Course sits within Brecksville Reservation, part of the Cleveland Metroparks system along the Cuyahoga River valley south of Cleveland. It was designed by Stanley Thompson and opened in the 1920s as a private club before the Metroparks brought it into public play in 1963.
The layout runs as a classic out-and-in routing. Front-side holes play downhill and downwind, so they feel shorter than the card suggests, while the closing holes turn uphill and into the wind and play long. Several holes, including a demanding par 3 and a risk-reward short par 5 on the back nine, are frequently discussed among area golfers.
The course is open to the public year round, weather permitting, with carts and a driving range on site. It has hosted USGA qualifying rounds and regional amateur events, and collared shirts are required.

Broadview Heights, OH · 3.4 mi away
Seneca Golf Course occupies the highest point in Cuyahoga County in Broadview Heights, Ohio, on about 350 acres within Cleveland Metroparks' Brecksville Reservation. It is a public, park-style facility with 36 holes across multiple nines, known for lengthy par fours and fives and holes that play through wooded, hilly terrain. Cleveland Metroparks acquired the course from the city of Cleveland in 2011 and has since carried out phased renovations of the nines, including a new driving range completed in 2025. The course is open to public play with five sets of tees, GHIN handicap posting available, and standard practice amenities. Seasonal closures can affect individual nines during construction phases.

Valleaire Golf Club
Hinckley, OH · 6.0 mi away
Valleaire Golf Club is located in Hinckley, Ohio, southwest of Cleveland, on wooded hills that surround the course with mature trees. The club was founded in 1963 by the Knights of Columbus and has operated as a public course in the area for more than six decades. The 18-hole layout plays to roughly 6,400 yards from the back tees over hilly, forested terrain typical of Medina County. Bentgrass greens and rye fairways make up the playing surfaces, with modest length that suits recreational and league play. Valleaire remains open to public play, hosting men's and women's leagues and outside tournaments, and is a low-key, scenic option in the greater Cleveland golf market.
