CLEVELAND, OHIO
THE HOME OF SUPERINTENDENTS By Eric Hanisko Superintendent at Pine Lakes Golf Club As a Golf Course Superintendent, I have been blessed in my thirty years to be able to work in multiple states and at different levels of the golf maintenance hierarchy. From working
at high-end country clubs in California and New Jersey to
America’s first municipal golf course in the Bronx, I have experienced all facets of greenskeeping. I finally landed back home at Pine Lakes Golf Club where I played in my first golf league as a junior golfer. My love for the game and the aesthetically pleasing views of the golf course are what drew me to my profession as a superintendent. This is what the Trail offers each day with over sixty different courses. To be able to play courses with some of the best conditions you’ll find anywhere in the country that were designed by some of golf’s great architects is truly unique. Agronomically speaking, this is not surprising as the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America was founded in Youngstown by Youngstown Country Club greenskeeper John Herley. Whether you play our lush conditions in the spring, the hard and fast conditions of the summer, or take in the beauty of the changing leaves of the fall, The Penn Ohio golf trail has a unique experience for every golfer.
Cleveland is known as being the home of Rock and Roll, but the golf is just as fantastic as the music scene. With top courses like Sleepy Hollow, Boulder Creek and Fowler’s Mill, it’s a great golf destination with big city nightlife. Take in a Guardians Game, visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, or make it Christmas in July at the “A Christmas Story House”. With a number of different areas and courses to explore, Cleveland is the total golf vacation.
