If the general manager of Little Mountain Country Club looks familiar, you may not be fooling yourself. Jimmy Hanlin is more famous for his “18 Holes” program, co-hosted with the LPGA’s Natalie Gulbis and golf reporter Holly Sonders. When not traveling the country revealing quality courses, he frequents the Cleveland club that he owns and manages.
Celebrities aren’t the only thing to be seen at Little Mountain, however: Although the mountains in Ohio are even smaller than the name suggests, on a clear day one can see Lake Erie from the fairways. White sand bunkers are also eye-catching, and the design of Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry ensures that plenty of balls will become ensnared in them as well.
Although this is not “mountain golf,” players can also get a gauge on the hills of northern Ohio by glancing left of the fairway at holes Nos. 10-14. The steep fall down to Ellison Creek may give you all the more reason to stick to the right side on the split fairway at No. 11!
Although billed as a “country club,” Little Mountain is very much a public facility.
