Hawthorne Valley Country Club, CLOSED 2016

Hawthorne Valley Country Club is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Solon, Ohio.

Hawthorne Valley Country Club first opened for play in 1926. The course was designed by Donald J. Ross.

The course has been rated by Golf Week as the #2 public course in Ohio.

The Hawthorne Valley Country Club plays to a maximum distance of 6,533 yards and a par-70. The course rating is 71.8 with a slope rating of 132.

This is  a hilly course with tree-lined fairways that are bordered by a standard cut of rough.  The postage stamp-sized greens are slightly sloped and fast.  Numerous very large sand bunkers protect the fairways and greens. Water hazards come into play on at least half the holes.  

It was a sad day on the January 31, 2016. On that date, the course owner announced that lack of play made it not viable to continue operations and that the course would not open in 2016.
