Best Course in Akron Ohio

This is a great track. There’s no water on the course but it’s on of the toughest courses in the area. You’d better have a good punch shot if you miss the fairways.

The course is in the best shape I’ve seen it in 20 years. The course has century old trees, lots of them. From the tips it’s a challenge.

Definitely worth the trip to golf this challenging, mature golf course.

First time

The course was laid out for all to have a good time. Pace was good. The two I was paired with were better golfers and also had a good time. A couple of fairways were rough but the course was still in good shape or better. I'll play again.

J E Goodpark

This course was designed by Bertie Wey-same architect that designed Firestone south-both have tree lined fairways and share quite a resemblance-Goodpark has tight fairways with many doglegs-the tee boxes/fairways/and sand traps were all excellent-the greens had been aerated semi-recently but still were on the quick side-I bet during the summer they’re fast-the staff were very friendly and the grounds maintenance crew were observant-golf carts were good-I really liked the layout but shots were at a premium due to the unforgiving rough-easy to lose a ball-with that all being said-I’d strongly suggest this venue-I’ll be back again this year.

Great for the price

Greens were quick, which isn't a problem. They just don't receive spin at all.
