Fowler's Mill Golf Course
Located about 30 minutes from downtown Cleveland, this 18 championship holes and 9 hole short course is a must-see in the area. Old-time golfing and pure natural environment is the standard. Those looking for advanced gimmicks or added obstacles won't find it here, as the owners pride themselves on the classic mature style of the course. Lakes, marshes and creeks intersect with slopes and rolls. The par 4 Cape fourth wraps around a lake and is the most popular (and intimidating) hole, while the par 4 Slide second presents players with a narrow fairway and a series of bunkers on the right. A well-stocked golf shop and a dining room make this a good place to spend an afternoon in.

A Cleveland institution since 1928, this all-wood eatery attracts local golf players as well as famous visitors who happen to be in the area.
