The Euclid Club was hindered by another development, Cedar Heights.
Concurrent with the development of Euclid Heights, William and Edmund Walton, Jr. purchased a pasture adjacent to the western boundary of Forest Hill.
They built two roads, Grandview Avenue and Bellfield Avenue.
They began developing the lots on the east side of Grandview Avenue, the west side of Bellfield Avenue, and between Grandview and Bellfield Avenues, and constructed middle-class homes similar to their previous development in Little Italy.
Cedar Heights was marketed only sparingly and developed slowly.
But the development sat squarely and inconveniently between the front nine and back nine of the Euclid Club.

The creation of the Shaker Heights development largely doomed the golf club.
A community of Shakers founded a 1,400-acre (5.7 km²) commune and farm in the area in 1822, but their numbers had dwindled to just 27 by 1888.
In a series of transactions, the Shakers sold the land to a group of Cleveland investors in 1891 who called themselves the Shaker Heights Land Company.
The company then donated 279 acres (1.13 km²) of land along Doan Brook, Horseshoe Lake (aka Upper Shaker Lake), and Lower Shaker Lake in December 1895 to the city of Cleveland as a park, with the proviso that the city build a road along the park (which effectively connected the Shaker Heights development to Cleveland).
Rockefeller donated another 276 acres (1.12 km²) as well, to connect this park to Lake Erie (creating Rockefeller Park).
Sales remained meager, however, and the company sold its land holdings in 1896 to a syndicate of Buffalo investors led by William Henry Gratwick, Sr. (
owner of the Gratwick Steamship Company) and John J. Albright (president of the Ontario Power Company).
Once more, sales were minimal.
Eight years later, the land was overgrown and its value was 25 percent below its $316,000 ($9,711,312 in 2019 dollars) purchase price.
In 1904, the Van Sweringen brothers, Oris Paxton and Mantis James, took over as land agents for the company, formed a syndicate of local investors, and began purchasing lots for development from the Shaker Heights Land Company.
As with Calhoun's Euclid Heights, the Van Sweringens used deed restrictions to significantly constrain development to residential housing, and to require that all housing be of the highest quality in terms of design, siting, and construction.

The development of Shaker Heights adjoined the Rockefeller estate.
Rockefeller was intrigued by the possibility of developing Forest Hill, and allowed the Van Sweringens to produce a brochure showing how a possible development of the eastern half of his "back nine" could be developed into yet another planned community.
But nothing came of this venture.
In 1906, Rockefeller agreed to allow the Van Sweringens to build a streetcar line across the Forest Hills estate.
The line followed Cedar Road, and then traveled in the center of Fairmount Boulevard to Lee Road.
Although a part of Fairmount Boulevard had existed since 1858, the portion from Cedar Road southeast to Lee Road was only developed at this time—cutting right across the Euclid Club's back nine.
