Washington Golf Course Tee Times

I have been a newer golfer as of this year. My friend was home for school and we decided to try this course; she has been golfing for a while. There was a stack up of people immediately at the first hole (about 5 carts). We hesitated on hitting right away as we would be hitting up on the group of three in front of us, and possibly injure them as the distance was only about 170. One of your workers, named David, was extremely rude and started explaining we needed to start hitting because we “couldn’t hit to the green.” We had some hits that went towards wooding areas and he started explaining to us how to play golf and what to do (as if we did not know how to play.) He said that we needed to drop in that case and I explained that we know how golf works and do not need his input. He then said “he was trying to teach us how to golf. He was extremely rude and very sexist. He singled us out and did not mention anything to the groups of men behind us about getting ready to tee up. Later on in the course we were met with him again. Once again he gave us more trouble and told us to hurry up even though there was a group in front of us still. Extremely terrible experience. I’d love to speak to a manager except there was not one present when I called later. There are a few more details, but we will most definitely not be returning. Very rude workers, and for this course being labeled as a beginners course and supposed to be for learning, they were very inconsiderate of our time and money. We pay to have a good experience and fun golf round, not to be bossed around by an older man treating us as if we do not deserve to be playing golf. Once again, this was only experienced by us, and he did not stop by any of the men. I’d love to explain in greater detail what happened. I wouldn’t suggest this course, there are much better places worth your time and money. You will gain better experience and greater support by individuals not treating you as if just because you are a woman, you cannot golf.

It is a nice beginners course.. problem is.. we had just teed off after waiting for other group to clear, on our second shot and already got told we needed to keep up the pace.. we spent about 70 bucks including a golf glove for my daughter. I feel like it being a learning course, let’s not send out people every 5 minutes. Course has just been aerated as of sept 12th 25. No mention of it. Probably will not return.. I love the metro parks courses.. usually a great time.

Washington Park is a quaint Cleveland Metroparks par 29, 9 hole golf course (most holes are par 3 ostensibly) located in Newburgh Heights and Cleveland. The course is generally well-maintained, though some features do highlight that it is a fairly marginal course. The course is super short and the design of the holes is largely repetitive and thus somewhat boring. Additionally, the tee boxes often have artificial turf instead of real grass. The greens are also almost bald and run really fast. Unfortunately, the greens fees are not super inexpensive either, if they were it'd be a decent deal. There is also a driving range on site.

The starter is extremely rude and gave us a bunch of attitude for driving our carts to our cars yet he didn’t say not too when we started nor did we see any signs that say not to. Don’t come here with your kids or if you are a new golfer…they will not treat you well. Won’t be coming back nor will I recommend to anyone.

Love the course! 200 yards is the longest hole. There are two par 4's. Great for kids as they are affiliated with First Tee! Nicely kept and great being in a park, next to the steel factories! Our favorite "small" course in the Cleveland area!
