About this course

Pine Hills Golf Club sits in Hinckley, Ohio, a small community in Medina County roughly midway between Cleveland and Akron. The course was designed by Pappy Paddock, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century who contributed several layouts to northeastern Ohio's golf landscape. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the glaciated Allegheny Plateau, where modest elevation changes and mature tree corridors define the playing corridors. The routing moves through wooded and semi-open ground, with hardwoods framing many holes and creating a parkland character common to courses built in this era across the region. Paddock's design reflects the practical sensibilities of its time, offering straightforward golf that rewards accuracy over distance and requires thoughtful club selection on approach shots. The layout serves a membership drawn largely from surrounding communities in Medina and Cuyahoga counties. Pine Hills functions as a traditional private club, providing a home course for recreational golfers and hosting member competitions and social events throughout the season. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports the club's year-round activities. The course remains a steady presence in Hinckley's landscape, maintaining its role as a neighborhood club where generations of local families have played the game.

Getting there

Pine Hills Golf Club sits in the quiet farmland south of Cleveland, accessible most directly via Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), roughly forty-five minutes north by car through the rolling terrain of Summit County. The drive south from the airport traces a gentle descent from urban sprawl into rural Ohio, where the landscape softens into open fields and tree-lined country roads that signal arrival in Hinckley's pastoral preserve. For those with access to private aviation, Akron-Canton Regional Airport (CAK) offers a closer alternative, positioned just twenty minutes east of the club and favored by discerning travelers seeking to bypass commercial terminals entirely. The final miles unfold along quiet local roads that wind through the club's secluded grounds, where mature trees and manicured fairways emerge as a serene counterpoint to the Midwest's working landscape.
