Lakeview Church

Long tee positions are newly established, taking the challenge of this course up a couple notches. Currently most of the tee pads are natural and uneven. Concrete tees would automatically up the rating. As a LHBH player an understable mid and fairway driver always kept me near the fairways on the right handed favored holes. There is a nice balance to the layout catering to both righties & lefties alike. There is some variety to distances as well, but the majority of holes are playable with mids ...

This course has been in for a while now, but you still feel it's slowly getting broken in and comfortable. With Tri-C & Veterans both nearby, Parma has a tantalizing trifecta in it's backyard.

This is my first review here. I made this account because I felt it a shame that some people migh t never play this course, or wait to play it. Look at the dates on the reviews. There is a huge upswing after course redesign. I have never played the old layout, but I love the course as it is now. Some nice tunnel shots, a 400 foot throw across a lake (Don't worry. There is a short tee.), and one of the prettiest walk ups to. Hole that I have seen (heading from hole 8 to 9). If you are from out ...

If you are from out of town, and have the energy, there are three solid courses within 10 minutes of eachother. Veteran's Memorial, another wooded course and one of my favorites, and Tri-C campus, big open course with only a handful of woodsy holes (great for airing out, and trying either new discs or new throws, as most holes will have less interference and you can really see what your disc is doing) Also, within 15 minutes of these three is a short course at Baldwin Wallace College, but try to get a map from the recent center.
I know. This should have been a review for one course, but the three Parma courses are so close, that I felt I should get the word out for any out of towners.

The course is now a full 18 holes; the property is much more utilized than in the past. Obviously some thought went into the new layout. Holes through the woods were tight and required various types of shots. Holes that were not long required technical shot making. There was one map available on hole one which my group used; we put it back since it was the only copy. There were signs with arrows on the baskets but some were pointing in the wrong direction. Some signs were on the tees which he ...

There was one map available on hole one which my group used; we put it back since it was the only copy. There were signs with arrows on the baskets but some were pointing in the wrong direction. Some signs were on the tees which helped a lot...signs or markers should be included on all of the holes. The tee areas were a little soft and the footing slippery at times (proving problematic at times for this ol' grandmaster) but a little TLC should correct that pretty quickly.

A great deal of work, time and energy have been put into the new layout. This will pay off big before too long. As we were leaving I did notice there was a number of players on the course. Once completed and word gets out this course will be a good alternative to Tri C and Vets Memorial. Each is different; having three good courses so close together is definitely worth a road trip to those living further away.
