Shot 68 from the tips but you have to realize this course is very simple. There are some tight holes but an iron off the tee makes even those simple.

Conditions were less than pristine. They are working on the course and it shows. There are bare spots here and there but with the weird summer we've had that is not surprising. Greens were on the slow side but did putt ok. They were not bumpy and the putts held their line.

A fun course. I played at 7 am first out and finished in under 1.5 hours. I would not pay more than $20 for a round here but when it is on hot deal on Golf Now it is a bargain.

This golf course is gorgeous. Every hole offers a challenge but gives well struck shots birdie possibilities. Played from the tips and was impressed with the par 3 second hole. 235 yards - a monster to say the least. Got an eagle on the downhill par 5 hole number one then went bogey bogey bogey and only struck one shot badly. Very subtle breaks and speed on the greens.

I could play this course day in and day out and not tire of it. It is that good.

I was somewhat surprised at the length of the course. It played at about 6900 from the tips and sloped at 128. The greens were receptive and they putted well in spite of being recently verticut. Very difficult par 3's at about 205 average. Not much to surprise you what you see is what you get. very straight forward with no hidden streams, lakes bunkers etc. Tree lined fairways, small fairly flat greens. You will use every club in your bag and if your driver is off a little you'll truly be challenged. Fairways are not overly wide but you can hit them if you are on that day. Enjoyed the course but the pace of play on a weekday was ridiculous. Need a marshall to keep things moving. Had one occasion where a twosome just cut in front of a foursome on a par three and played as if they owned the course. No way that should have happened. All in all a nice course but not a great course.

If you have not played this course make sure you put it at the top of your Golf Now list. It is a great Arthur Hills design with plenty of decisions during the round. Some long par 5's and some that you can reach in two. Some very demanding par 3's especially from the tips.

Greens are immaculate, fast and receptive. Ball will stop and sometimes come back a little. One of the best values in the Akron area especially if you get a "hot deal" tee time.

From the tips this is TOUGH! The course has seen better days. Greens are not receptive and they are slow. Hope money can be found to make improvements. I enjoyed the layout.

The course tee to green was in need of attention. Lot's of bare areas and unkempt areas. Greens were about 4 on the stimp meter which is sloooooooow.

Course has so much potential but evidently the money is just no there to do all that needs to be done. I played here last year and while there have been some changes, not much has improved. Hope the owners come into some money to bring this course up to the standard that it has the potential for.

Tee to green the conditions were just average. The greens were perfect if you like hard and fast. Greens would not hold a shot even from a wedge so 125 became 110 with 15 yards of roll. Downhill they were running at least 14 and uphill they were 11. I LOVE fast greens and these scared me!!
