Golfing in Cleveland on a Charter Bus


While many know of Cleveland as the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, its sports and outdoor attractions also draw many charter bus visitors each year. Cleveland's location on the shores of the Lake Erie offers many opportunities to swim, boat and fish. It also has 16 major city parks that provide outdoor activities. In addition to these attractions, the greater Cleveland area has more than 100 public golf courses in its metropolitan area for charter bus visitors to play. Visit Cleveland for a golf tour with a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus chartered from Bus Charter Cleveland.
As Ohio’s most popular course, the Big Met Golf Course offers play along the Rocky River just outside of Cleveland. Rolling hills and a river winding through the course make it challenging, even for experienced Cleveland charter bus players. Because the course is part of the Rocky River Reservation, charter bus golfers regularly see deer wandering through the course. Big Met features the designs of Stanley Thompson, with bent grass greens and bluegrass fairways. It measures 6,524 yards and has a par of 72 and a slope of 114 from the back tees. Cleveland Metroparks offers tee times up to five days in advance, and reservations are recommended.
Cleveland Metroparks hired Harry Burkhardt to build the Mastick Woods Golf Course in 1964 to ease the crowded conditions at Big Met and Little Met. The executive length, nine-hole golf course measures just 1,900 yards with a par of 31, offering a short length that works well for juniors and new players. The course requires tee times for charter bus golfers playing on weekend mornings, and the tee times must be made five days in advance.
The Ridgewood Golf Course, just 8 miles by charter bus from Cleveland, offers 18 holes of golf designed by Sandy Alves. The course has a slope of 115 and a par of 70 over its 6,049-yard layout, with bent grass greens and bluegrass fairways. Six of the holes feature water hazards from creeks that wind through the course. The 615-yard par-5 13th hole provides charter bus golfers with a challenge on its sharp dogleg right and downhill approach to the green.
The Little Met Golf Course is a nine-hole municipal golf course designed by Stanley Thompson in the early 1900s. Cleveland Metroparks originally built Little Met to spark interest in a public golf course prior to building Big Met. The course was so popular that it remained open after the larger course was complete. The course measures 2,599 yards with a par of 35. The golf course features bent grass greens and has no water hazards. Because of its simple layout, Little Met works well for inexperienced charter bus golfers.

Visiting Cleveland Ohio

Cleveland, Ohio, has been taking intensive steps to move away from its beginnings as an industrial city, and has been undergoing a transformation in recent years. A great way of seeing Cleveland is with a a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus chartered from Bus Charter Cleveland. The once polluted Cuyahoga River, for example, has been cleaned up and now sports a thriving nightclub district along the Flats and the city's spirit has also been rejuvenated with the return of the beloved Browns to Memorial Stadium, and sports fans cheering on the Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena and the Indians at Progressive Field.
Charter bus visitors to Cleveland will quickly notice that he central feature of Cleveland is Public Square, which in 1879 became the first public square in the United States to be lit by electricity. Around it are the Tower City Center, a shopping center converted from an old railroad station, with the 52-storey Terminal Tower, featuring a viewing platform on 42nd floor, and the 46-storey BP America Building. North-east of Public Square is the Mall, the largest square in the city center, which is decorated with fountains and sculpture and dominated by the Society Center, Cleveland's tallest building at 890 feet. The Public Square in Cleveland is right in the heart of the city at the intersection of Superior and Ontario streets, and easily accessible by charter bus. 
Charter bus visitors might be interested in touring the USS Cod Submarine Memorial, a World War II fleet sub docked on Lake Erie in downtown Cleveland. Listed as as National Historic Landmark, the USS COD is a World War II submarine with an interesting history of battles and rescues. The submarine was responsible for the first submarine-to-submarine rescue, which occurred in 1945. She was commissioned on June 21, 1943 and was on patrol during the war, then decommissioned in 1954. The USS Cod has not been modified from her original wartime configuration, and entrance is through the original hatchways and ladders in the submarine.
Charter bus visitors who love animals should head to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, a short charter bus ride away on Cleveland's west side near the neighborhood of Old Brooklyn. Here you can explore the Zoo's RainForest, home to a 25 foot waterfall as well as plants and animals from the jungles of Africa, Asia and the Americas. Next, take a walk through the park or hop on a Zoo Tram and visit the African Savannah, where you can experience the Safari Ride motion simulator or just say hello to the lions, zebras, giraffes, zebras, rhinos and birds. Keep exploring the zoo and you'll also find everything from polar bears to kangaroos, not to mention one of North America's largest collections of primate species.

With the kids in Cleveland

Cleveland, Ohio, and its surrounding areas offers tons of fun for everyone in the family, and a good way of getting there and getting around is with a charter bus, party bus, rental bus, coach charter, minibus or van chartered from Bus Charter Cleveland. Winter or summer, there is something to suit every age and family member in Cleveland. Whether you're taking a long charter bus vacation, planning a weekend getaway for your group using a charter bus, or simply need to escape for a couple hours, taking a charter bus and visiting Cleveland is always worth the trip.
When you think of amusement parks in Cleveland, chances are the first thing that comes to your mind is Cedar Point. Located in Sandusky, Cedar Point is the premier theme park in Northern Ohio, and is home to the state's largest roller coaster. Cedar Point is a 2 hour drive from Cleveland, so it would be logical to use a charter bus to get there. But not many think of Geauga Lake, just 30 minutes from downtown Cleveland. Known as Geauga Lake for decades, it was purchased by Six Flags Worlds of Adventure a few years ago, but soon after was returned to local ownership and the much-loved name was returned to the park. Some of the world's fastest, most extreme roller coasters roar along the lake, which the new-again ownership is fast developing into an even larger waterpark.
It is always important to know where we come from, and a charter bus visit to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. One of America’s oldest museums, the centerpiece of its collection is Lucy, the world’s oldest and almost completely intact Australopithecus afarensis skeleton. Discovered by Dr Louis B. Leakey in Africa, Lucy is thought to be between 2.4 to 2.8 million years old. Visitors can also take in a show at the museum’s planetarium, or walk around the University Circle, where they will find a number of Cleveland’s greatest eateries, as well as a variety of other museums.
In the summer months, take your kids in a charter bus down to Lake Erie for a splash and a swim. There are several city beaches that are easily reached with a charter bus, for example, Downtown, Edgewater Park has a 600 plus foot swim beach, along with 3 miles of hiking trails. For some great swimming, try Mentor Highlands to the east of Cleveland, with natural sand beaches the kids are sure to love.

Severance Hall


Severance Hall is home to the Cleveland Orchestra and is also known for beautiful music and amazing acoustic. Some of our charter bus Phoenix rental customers have always lamented that they have been to the hall to enjoy the almost Zen-like performances more than twenty times in their lifetimes because it takes you away into another world where language, age, race, culture and work stress is no longer in existence. The music and the orchestra plays such magic that you would want to come back here every time the Cleveland Orchestra holds one of their amazing shows.
For those who are short for time can check out their shorter Matinee concerts which typically lasts for an hour and a half but it is still worth checking out. The Severance Hall, after undergoing a thirty six million restoration and expansion facelift is even more gorgeous now. It is now regarded by many people as the world's most beautiful concert halls and the restoration process' aim is to bring the concert hall's intricate designs and original details back to life.
What is great about this place is that you can spend more than half a day there, strolling around in the park with your loved ones after or before the concerts. There is also a nifty little restaurant that people usually dine in after their show's done. The botanical garden neighboring the Severance Hall serves as a romantic location for lovers who want to just relax and unwind and it is great that the garden is a mere five minutes walk away.
Of course, when there are no shows from the Cleveland Orchestra, the hall is rented out to other organizations to hold their private performances, events, dinners, gatherings, exhibitions and shows. The Landmarks Commission and the National Register of Historic Places recognizes the Severance Hall the honor of being a architecturally significant attraction for the locals and foreign visitors alike. The sheer magnificence of the hall cannot be denied; therefore, we often regard it as a must-see destination.

Playhouse Square Center


Cleveland’s Playhouse Square Center is second to New York’s Lincoln Center in terms of size for theater complex in the United States. The theater is located on several locations in the city. Some of the locations were closed down in the late 1960s due to vandalism and fire but were quickly reopened in the 70s after renovation.
Today the Square houses 10 theaters, a Wyndham Hotel, Cleveland’s WCPN radio and WVIZ/PBS television station. Bus Charter Cleveland will be able to transport you here.
The theaters hosts a number of shows directed to the public of all ages. Some of the shows that will be featured this year are winner of the 2011 Tony® Awards Anything Goes, The Imaginary Invalid (play), Shiva Vishnu Temple presents Trendzz (Indian dance inspired by Bollywood music), a showcase by Cleveland’s Jazz Orchestra, Nickelodeon’s The Fresh Beat Band Live in Concert and many more.
The theater also hosts several events unique to the Playhouse Center. One of these is the Cleveland Play House Play Date where adults are able to purchase a ticket to a Cleveland Play House production and turn it into a play date with their children. The children will be able to re-create the production the adults are watching in a “playhouse” where they will be taught by experienced teaching artists. At the end of the session, both adults and children will receive a kit to allow more fun playhouse activities at home.
Although there are parking spaces available nearby, it may be prudent to hire a limo bus to drive you and your guests to the theaters especially after its Fall Happy Hour specials.
