Big Met Golf Course in Fairview Park is owned and managed by Cleveland Metroparks and is a ‘pay-as-you-play’ course that opened in 1926.

Play golf and enjoy the stunning scenic views of Big Creek Reservation and the Rocky River.
The course was originally named Course #1 and was the idea of the sports director of the Cleveland Press, Rodney C. Sutton. He proposed that a ‘pay-as-you-play’ course should be built by the Cleveland Metropolitan Park Board to enable more people to be involved in the up-and-coming game of golf.
Big Met is believed to be Ohio’s most played golf course and has hosted more than six million rounds of golf since it opened in 1926.
Golf club rentals and power and hand cart rentals are available. There are also putting greens. Check for discount days and junior rates.
Visit the website for rental information and to book your tee time online.
The Big Met Grille serves burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, fries, and more.
The Terrace is available for private rentals. See more information on the website.
Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are available in winter, with equipment rental available at the golf course.
