Pace of play
The only contra I would say is foursomes in the second nine, ahead of those playing 18 holes, which slowed down their pace enormously.
Besides that, beautiful course, great conditions, and friendly staff.
Good value
Good Track
Good park is a great old school layout. Greens were in perfect condition. Tee boxes were in great condition as well. Our tee time (8:55am on a Thursday) was somehow a hot deal in the middle of a women’s senior league and a men’s senior league. The starter got us out there in good time. Didn’t get stuck behind the leagues but had to jump around a little. Overall slightly challenging course that punishes you for missing.
In great shape.
It’s been a few years since I played Good Park in Akron. The course was in great shape. Greens were quick. Fairways did not need to roll the balloon. Rough was hard to find balls. I’d go back again.
Good track
Good track but the pace of play in the groups around us was rather horribly slow. greens in great shape. Tight fairways. Lots of trees. not for the golfer whom sprays the ball. you need to keep it in play
Very Difficult Course
This course is extremely difficult for two reasons:
the number and proximity of trees to the fairways
the number of doglegs
Both make for a long, hard day of golf.
Beautiful day
8:30am Sunday tee time. Waited a little, but overall not too bad. Course is really nice and a great value. Loved the greens
Excellent
The course conditions were excellent! Great job. Pace of play was very nice. This course is very difficult but fun to play. Definitely will challenge even a low handicapper.
Beautiful course
I don't know if it's because the course has been closed all spring or what but it's in the best shape I've ever seen it. Fairways are emaculate and greens are in great shape.
Hit it straight!
Tough track. Very tight. Very challenging. Not quite worth $50, but I would pay it again and I’ll definitely be back. Greens & Fairways were in good shape.
Great conditions made for an enjoyable round
Stuck between leagues early on a Thursday morning made front nine pace for our twosome brutal. Back nine was wide open and took less than 90 minutes to finish. Course was in beautiful shape and greens were rolling pretty quick. Snagged a hot deal and was very pleased at the value.
Old Gem....on life support.
First let me stress this course is one of the most tried and true layouts you'll find anywhere. It can punish you one round and reward you the next. Very fair to a broad range of player talents. The conditions, however, have steadily declined over the past few years and this course needs help. The fairways and tees are barely passable, but the greens are terrible. Course does not react well to summer rains and heat like most area courses do. Not sure what the solution is other than the City of Akron establishing an appropriate budget for the course to be managed. Come on Akron!
