Great public course

Owned by the same people who run Firestone CC. Conditions are always great. Greens fast and true. Very open course, great for those with higher handicaps as not a lot of trouble you can get into. Love playing here and will be back again and again.

Great conditions and a lot of fun

From the red tees, at least, this is a pretty easy course. That said, after the first two holes, the changes in elevation, blind shots, and some sloping fairways still "allow" you to get into some trouble with errant shots.

Although this is a public course, I think it is maintained by Firestone CC. The conditions are excellent, with tight fairways (for a public course) and fast but true greens, a real joy to putt on.

There were a lot of golfers out on this lovely day, but we moved along, with some short waits on the tees. Since I was a single I played with two other Golf Now patrons (the course won't reserve a tee time for a single), who were friendly, easy going, and good golfers, so that was a plus.

Since I don't live in Akron, I'm happy to have found an enjoyable course where I can play nine holes when I visit.

I should add that having played here a few times, I have encountered both helpful and brusque staff. So it depends on who's on for the day.

Unfriendly staff

The staff here was very unfriendly, and in some cases downright rude. They also scheduled several parties during the same tee time, causing for a delayed game. My overall experience here was poor and I will definitely not be returning.

Course was in good shape

Greens were really nice. Although fairway was pretty long and really penalized you if you hit it there but I’m guessing it was from all the rain the previous week and they couldn’t get to mowing it.

Ranger danger

This is a nice course. We played nine and decided to play again. They gave us an immediate tee time after I run out. Going to be know that golf leagues had already started teeing off. One of the League members told us that we should skip ahead which we did the number three. Everything was moving smoothly. One of our party lost of all and was searching. One of the league foursomes caught up to us. As soon as they did our guy stop searching for his ball and played on. Because they had caught up to us momentarily one of the whiny League members calledl the clubhouse. They sent a ranger out .He showed up on hole number 7. He approached us and told us to pick up pace. I said to look behind us because they're was no one near us at the time. He got mouthy and kept pushing the "pick up the pace" issue when we were clearly ahead the foursome behind us. An argument ensued. I was told to not return to the course which I gladly will not do. Don't need this kind of harassment by the ranger or the staff inside the clubhouse.

Great course, great price, easy layout.

Always love playing this course. Easier layout for beginner/intermediate golfer, open layout. Course is always in great condition. The pace of play was very good. Finished nine holes in 1.5 hrs. If you’re looking for nine holes this is a great course and usually great price.

Wonderful course in fabulous shape

First time visiting-certainly won’t be our last. With only 9 holes, we’ve overlooked this course, which was a mistake. Course was easily in the best shape of any played this year. Immaculate tee boxes lead to wide, lush, manicured fairways and greens that were amazing: quick, true, and in terrific shape. Pace of play was ideal-perhaps very hot weather kept some away creating a delightful pace. Staff was personable & helpful and clubhouse appeared to be well-equipped.
We’ll certainly be returning for a truly enjoyable round of golf.

Mid October Review

The Firestone Nine is a really nice nine hole course, it is not a short course. It very open, very few trees, only a few spots (like the first hole) where there is OB and only two hazards (hole 6 & 8). Even though it is wide open and few hazards, its not an easy course. Angled, narrow and elevated greens protect low scores on this course. The course was in great shape, greens were perfect and already punched.

October 1st review

Firestone 9 is a nice little public course that sits adjacent to the Firestone Country Club. It has a nice mix of holes, the worst hole is the first, short flat and boring, followed by a straight forward par three. But once you just to the par 5 third, it is a different course and stays great throughout. Great mix of fun holes, with a couple of blind tee shots. Minimal trees, but nice molding to frame the holes. good elevation changes, some kind of extreme.

The greens had been aerated, and were recovering niecely. Balls rolled pretty well, but were still quite bumpy. Everything else was pretty good. For a Sunday at 11, we played nine is under 2 hours, which is awesome.
