It’s a good course for the casual golfer. Like one other reviewer said, it’s not full of hooligans or posh. It’s not a hard course minimal sand and water traps. Most holes are mostly straight and minimal hills. Fairways and greens are maintained pretty decently. My only complaint is every time I come here the course is overly crowded and there is always one group holding up several groups behind them. So much so that I skipped ahead because I was so tired of waiting.

I recently played a 9-hole walking round at Black Brook Golf Course in Mentor, Ohio with two others. While the course itself was in decent shape, the experience was ruined by the staff. They scheduled five-somes and four-somes back-to-back and then rushed us the entire time, claiming “members were complaining” and that we needed to pick up the pace — even though the slow play was clearly caused by how they stacked the tee times.
The starter, or the guy working the desk in the pro shop, had a terrible attitude from the start. Instead of creating a welcoming environment, he acted annoyed and unprofessional the whole time.
Overall, the customer service was extremely disappointing. The course might be good, but the staff made the round far less enjoyable than it should’ve been. I won’t be returning anytime soon.
I would also like to add that the tee boxes are basically mud and that it’s mentor not 7 hills or any of the good golf courses in the Cleveland area lol so relax on attitude next time folks decide to go to your course .

Golf course is in overall good shape. Some tee boxes could use some work. It was nice to see the sand traps well maintained though.
Good that the city of Mentor is putting money into the course overall. - range is also a plus for Black Brook
A small issue but not sure why none of the sand jugs were filled on the carts. I asked the gentleman inside and he said nobody has asked us that in years , I’m not sure what that means? If half the people used the sand jugs to repair divots , doesn’t that help out the maintenance staff and cut the workload down?
Anyways, I would come back to the course, not a real challenging course , but a fun course to play now and then.
Snack bar person a plus! very pleasant and welcoming . ✌️🏌️♂️

course is great for the average golfer. some of the greens need some attention. we had our golf league this year but we wont go back. they didn't have record of us signing up, then the tee times kept changing for the first few weeks then on the contract thatI signed we will go to October 15th but they turned us off end of September.

Was some of the worst maintained golf course I've ever played. I have been golfing at this location since I could swing a golf club and am appalled at the lack of effort that is being put into the course. $41 for 18 and a cart, no senior rates on the weekends, and no specials for veterans on memorial day weekend. I will not be returning to this course in the near future until they start realizing that moves like this where they stick it to the buyer will ultimately bring down their business. I say "Good day sir" and good luck with that piece of overgrown land that you call a golf course.
