About this course
Little Mountain in Concord Township, Ohio, remains a compelling testament to classic golf course design despite its more recent past as a public offering. Designed by Dick Wilson during the mid-century modern era, the course winds through rolling, wooded terrain just east of Cleveland, a landscape that dictates a blend of strategic play and aesthetic appreciation. Its tree-lined fairways offer a stark contrast to the open fields surrounding the area. Wilson's routing presents a balanced challenge, favoring neither power nor finesse, but rewarding thoughtful course management. The greens, subtly contoured, demand a deft touch. While not hosting major championships, Little Mountain has long been a proving ground for aspiring professionals and a valued test for accomplished amateurs in Northern Ohio. The club evolved from its private beginnings to public access, offering golf to a wider audience. Although it may not command national headlines, it enjoys a local following rooted in its accessibility and solid design, fostering a dedicated community of golfers who appreciate the classic layout.

Getting there
Most visitors to Little Mountain Country Club arrive via Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), roughly forty-five minutes west along Interstate 90 as it traces the southern shore of Lake Erie. The drive northeast through suburban Cleveland gradually gives way to quieter stretches of farmland and wooded ridges as you approach Lake County, where the club sits perched above the surrounding terrain. The final turn off the highway leads upward through a canopy of mature hardwoods, a brief but distinct climb that delivers you to the understated gates of this elevated retreat overlooking the flatlands below.
