One of the first courses I played. Over the years a great place to play. The first 9 holes offer tons of variety and woods holes can be fun with the trees and small elevation. Back holes are longer and open but with enough trees and bushes to make it tough. Great club and players. Wonderful scenery and bathroom most of the time. Holes are all signed, and concrete tees are great! The course has a wonderful flow and is a great round of Golf. Holes 1 and 2 are tough and a great kick off for a challenging round!

Can be muddy, and sometimes other park dwellers can be in the way. Would like to see next tee signs for new players.

I rate it a 4 as its a great fun place to play! The use of the land is perfect! This and Osborne are the first two parks I played. It will always be my 18 hole home course.

Right by Lake Erie
Beautiful setting
Full 18 holes
Concrete tees
Pleasant people
Friendly animals

Most of the interesting holes are at the beginning.
No maps, not even a course map.
Hidden baskets.

I had a lovely time on a Sunday here. There was a fairly steady set of players coming through and I ended up playing the course with a group of three that came after me. They were very pleasant - a couple from Florida and their friend from Pittsburgh, now Ohio transplants. It was really cool to meet such nice people on the course.

There is a set of holes in a small wooded section that had deer ambling around -- not quite wild, not quite tame. There were animals everywhere at this course, which is pretty fun, if you like animals.

The holes themselves were fairly straightforward shots, except for a couple at the beginning. Lots of wide open space on the back half, wooded on the front.

This is the first course I've been to that didn't have any maps. We spent the entire course trying to find the next tee and basket. Sort of fun, sort of frustrating.

As a beginner, it was fun to have moderate challenges, but still have room for error. More skilled players will still enjoy the front half for some of the challenging lines and protected baskets.

I'll definitely be going again!

Very technical on the first few holes, with a few blind throws and elevation changes with plenty of trees.
The second half was mostly long distance with wide approaches. A bit repetitive, but good for a beginner to figure out how to properly throw their discs straight.

Some of the baskets, especially in the trees could have a little bit brighter markers/flags. Hard to find them.
Some of the Tees had the map/hole layout while others did not. I threw to the wrong hole once.
The map at the Practice Hole shows 18 in one place, but the actual tee box and basket are labeled differently.

Since this was late December, I expected it to be a little soggy. I was right. Be prepared for some mud and standing water in places if it has rained (or there was snowmelt) in the past few days. As a beginner this was not too difficult.

Great mix of short technical/wooded holes and open/long-ish holes.
Beautiful views of Lake Erie.
Rest rooms.
Good course for disc golfers of almost any level.
Nice play ground for kids.
Concrete tee pads on almost every hole.

Course gets super muddy after a good bit of rain.
Winds coming off the lake can wreak havoc on your game. (note:wind is not always an issue)
The apartment complex that runs along holes 9, 10, and 11 is unsightly, and can be rather loud at times.

I really like the way the first 11 holes play.The first 4 holes have great views of the lake. Holes 5, 6, and 7 go through a wooded area, and reward players that can hit the lines with ace runs and birdies. While holes 8 through 11 are great low celing shots. After that, the holes open up more and get longer for players that like to grip and rip. This is one of the better courses in the Cleveland area, and is a must play if you are near by.

-Great variety of holes
-Woods shots are clear, yet still have enough tree obstacles
-A few great "grip it and rip it" holes
-Various Par 4's mixed in.
-Well maintained

-Navigating from hole to hole is difficult
-No general hole layout
-The newly added Hole 19 is unrealistic.
-Pedestrians will sometimes get in the way
-Easy to lose disc on Hole 2 if you choose to go around to the right near the beach.

Overall, I felt that this course is very nicely designed and maintained. The only true con I have is that if you're playing this course for the first time and don't have someone with you who has played it before, some hole to hole navigation can get irksome. In addition, finding the baskets from the tee box can be a little annoying as well.
Overall though, if you can get through the course at least once, it is more than worth playing again.
I would drive at least an hour and a half to two hours to play this course!

-Location - This course is located right off the lake. The first 4 holes allow you to see the lake. Even secret hole #19.
-Layout - Now some people have complained but I like it. Challenging and technical front 9 with long, still slightly challenging, back 11.
-People - Everyone that plays there is very nice. I've only seen one instance with a group of *insert nasty name here* who where acting out of hand.
-Mondays - Scramble tourneys at 6. I've only played it once but it was a great time. And they put "A" players with "B" players to make it competitive.
-Crowd - This deals with non-golfers. Park is usually decently busy but it seems like they all know where the holes are and they pay attention while in the areas. Kids still tend to ride their bikes through 5, 6, and 7. Hell, I used to when I was a kid, but that was 16 years ago and there was no course.

-Drainage - If it rains heavily, and it has in 2011, holes 1, 2, 5, 7, and 19 can become almost unplayable.
-Safety - Alternate hole "B", that's what I call it. It's the hole from the entrance off of Lakeshore to the basket by the playground. And that's my concern, a very good throw can hit a kid who is running around over there. The bike trail by 12 and 13 don't really come into play in my opinion as you need to throw way to the right of it. That, and I never see anyone use the path anyway.
-Poison Oak - This is just basically a warning for anyone playing the course. The pine looking trees by the 4th tee have poison oak in them. A bad drive from #3 can put you in them. Buddy of mine had a bad experience and that's how we found out.
-Next tee signs - from #2 to #3 and #4 to #5 can cause people some confusion.

UPDATE 8-30-12: They are changing hole locations for the following holes: 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, and 18. Should be done in the next week or two. If you play before the move, you can see where the new holes will be. They are marked by pink squares.

This is my local course and I do play it all the time. It is the best in the area in my opinion. I'm not a great golfer by any means. My personal best score is +1. I would recommend this course for beginners up to seasoned veterans. I also find it's perfect to go early in the morning as it is very quiet and peaceful.

this course is set up right along the banks of beautiful Lake Erie. i love the lay out of the course and the course is very nicely marked

being next to the lake there is alot of wind. it sometimes makes it fun. the course is also in a very bad neighborhood

Good use of elevation changes and topography through the front nine. Hole 1 starts with an elevated tee that doglegs right into a valley that leads to the lake. Heck of a way to start a course (beware the fairway at 1 though, as it's often a mud trap). The back 9 tend to allow the player to really put something on their drives while still posing a challenge with several natural obstructions lurking along fairways and approaches. "Secret" extra hole is a fun one (near practice cage). Reminiscent of something you would find in a Tiger Woods game as the "impossible fantasy hole" or something of the sort. Strongly recommend trying it out, but definitely use bright discs, or you may lose one.

Course could use pin flags or some sort of bright indicator as to where cages are as some of them are still within sight, but camouflaged within tree clumps or bushes, especially on the back 9. Even in later summer, the first hole's fairway is muddy. I can only imagine what the course must be like as far as dampness in the Spring.

Great variety on one of the better Cleveland area courses! Strongly recommend this course.

Great mix of technical and bomber holes
Beautiful scenery
Practice tee
Well thought out course and hole design
Concrete pads
Full 19 hole course in the process of becoming a 21 hole course

On a hot day this course will test your conditioning (ok, not a con on the course, but one on me!)

Sims Park in Euclid is so far my favorite Disc Golf course near Cleveland. The scenery is beautiful, (hole 3 is right on Lake Erie) and the front nine are great technical holes, while the back nine are all bombers. It appears that they are in the process of adding a couple of new holes.

I love this course, great variety of holes and distances. The scenery is wonderful along the lake and there is quite a bit of wildlife to see as well. (Last time out on hole #1 we had to play through about 5 deer who didn't seem to care at all.)

As has been said, the front 9 are challenging holes with lots of woods and elevation changes. The back 11 are mostly open, longer holes that let you air out your drives but still have some well placed trees to make them interesting.

Hole #21 (or old #19) is fun to play and a good tie breaker for sure.

We play mostly on weekdays so the course is virtually empty, but it can get a little crowded on the weekends.

The new #18 and #19 holes have dirt tees still but that will hopefully change soon.

The first tee can be a little difficult to find on your first time out. And a little better signage between holes pointing to the next tees would help as well.

I may be a little bias as this is my home course, but in comparison to other courses I've played, it is one of the best that NE Ohio has to offer.

A great view of the lake starting with the first hole. Then you go through the park and even have a bonus hole if you need any tie breakers. I see the pics do not show the really nice tee pads they have in now. Nice and wide to throw from. I would rate these tee pads as the best I have played from so far.

There is a bike trail right through one of the holes. Its a throw and hope you do not hit some one. As long as you have another person to watch out for the kids you should be ok.

This is a great course for every kind of golfer it will greatly test your skills.

Beautiful view of the lake. Front is mostly short and technical. Back is mostly grip and rip. It has a practice hole with distance markers surrounding it. Tee pads are concrete , but tee signage.

No amenities. Has a pavilion but no grilles. Bathrooms are gross

Decent size, good condition concrete tee pads. Highly visible tee signs. Double chain baskets in good shape. Course flows well. Excellent balance of shorter, technical holes and longer, bomber holes... going so far as to put all the short stuff on the first nine allowing you to get your arm warmed up before cranking those 360' drives. Even the long holes make good use of the existing trees to keep them from being wide open shots. Great pin positions. Also a good balance of leftie vs. rightie holes. Course flows well for the traditional 18 holes starting and ending at the parking lot. Restrooms on site.

The 19th hole is a bit out of place in the normal flow of the course in that it plays mostly parallel to hole #1 again. A couple holes have some minor elevation changes, but generally the course is flat.

The course does not drain well after rain and pools of water collect in many of the fairways and most of the baskets are surrounded by mud. The cons are hard to come by on this course; if I'd played on a dry day this course <span class="italic">might</span> have rated 4.5.

Most of the photos currently uploaded to DGCR are from before the concrete tee pads were installed.

Collect your birdies on the front nine because most of the last nine will require some 350+ ft accurate drives to put you in position to putt for those 2's. I think the back nine has gotten somewhat of a bad rap: if you're playing them for 3's they might not be that interesting, but if you're driving to put yourself in position for a 2 they're a good challenge.

Note that per the map at the info board holes #2 and #14 have mandos that require you to throw left of the first tree off the tee box, i.e. anyhzers for RHBH throwers. The concrete tee for hole #1 is marked with red paint on the service road behind the tee sign.

The map on the info board shows 21 holes. But based on other reviews and postings I've read it looks like two baskets for "new #18 & #19" are sometimes pulled. Their tee boxes are marked by a 4x4" flat in the ground, not vertical posts like the other holes. When those baskets are installed they occur between "old #17 & #18", which then turns "old #18 & #19" into "new #20 & #21". The tee sign for old-18/new-20 says "#18", but the basket says "#20". If all this sounds confusing... it is. But bottom line is look for the baskets between old #17 and #18, if they're installed you can play 21 holes, otherwise you get 19 holes.

#19 is an interesting hole in that it invites you to throw your upshot first to lay up before the ravine, then throw a "drive" across the ravine to the basket.

Worth mentioning again: great pin positions. Many of the holes will have you thinking: "wow, that's cool". Hole #4 is a particularly treacherous basket with slopes on two sides that will cost you rolls on missed putts. #2 is a cool 90 degree turn from the fairway in a valley. Actually all of the first nine, except #3, are pretty cool pin locations.

If this course were in your back yard you would develop almost all the skills you need to be a well rounded disc golfer! I'd come back to this course again anytime I'm in the area.

Beautiful setting in a nice park right on lake Erie. Some cool holes right off the bat with a 90 degree dogleg right down a narrow alley on # 2 # 4 plays across the field and into the woods. Tee Pads were well marked with wooden posts (most with pegs to hang your bag) that gave distance and par (all 18 are par 3s)
You get to try out your accuracy and technical prowress on the front 9 and then let 'er rip on the back 9, so bring all your game or prepared to be crushed on one or the other. I came out at 1 over on the front 9 but lost it on the back with a dismal 6 over.

Goose poop......... There was a beautiful map of the course at the first tee but the map on the online scorecard is about as dismal as they come. The first basket was missing and my initial thought was Uh-oh but the rest panned out just fine. Get the posted map online in a pdf so we can down load and bring along. A mando marked on the nice map was not evident when playing the hole (on # 2) There may have been other mandos later but if they were on that map I missed them. The transition from # 4 to # 5 was rough but otherwise it flowed pretty well.

Played this early in the morning (6 AM) so I got no sense of wether the park is normally busy or not. That might be an issue as it is not a huge space. This course is relatively short, but don't mistake short for easy. I had a great time playing this course and even feel I could par it on a good day.

Fantastic setting on Lake Erie Most every type of shot: Short, long, left, right, downhill, uphill (if you miss the fairway on #4).

Tthe most interesting and senic holes are all in the first 10. A couple faiways, by the lake, take all summer to dry out.

The back nine let you work on distance, but you still need to be accurate. Holes one & two become wind tunnels in the winter. Part of the challenge.
