Challenging, Apr 25, 2007

reviewer: DIck Butkiss from Hoover, AL

When I played the course was still a little brown, but it has probably started growing again. Fairways are wide and you can play your ball from almost anywhere. Dont be behind the hole on 1 and 10!

Great Golf In Birmingham, Mar 09, 2004

reviewer: Martin from AL

Great course... challanging from the tips. Clearly one of the best "walk-able" courses in the Birmingham Area. Greens on 1, 10 and 15 can make or break your game.

Leawood South Country Club
"The place to be!"
Leawood is one of the finest courses I have played in years. The greens are smooth and the fairways are quick. Play this course if you have the chance.

Sylvania Country Club
"Great Golf Course"
A golf course that Mike Barton did wonders with. It is fairly straight and short, but the greens are fantastic. Set in a beautiful location and has plenty of trees, hit it straight though because if you get into the rough you get into trouble because of the trees.
---Anonymous, Toledo, Ohio
Mount Hood Golf Course
"Nice layout"
We actually got lost going to an outing and got directions to this course. Our first time in the Boston area. Nice views on some of the tees. At our age it is too hilly to walk. Overall the conditions were good for a public course.
---Al Smith, Pittsburgh, PA
Sharon Golf Club, The
"The Sharon Golf Club - a real treat"
The Sharon Golf Club is located in beautiful Sharon, Ohio. The various trees lining the fairways frame a challenging championship course that is relaxing and fun to play. The pro, Dwight Axtell is a wonderful teacher, and utilizes video analysis into his lessons. Mr. Axtell's lessons are available to non-members, and will help players of any ability level.
