Raymond C. Firestone Golf Course

This course is in excellent condition I love playing here, unfortunately 80% of the time it takes almost 3 hours to play nine holes

Okay, your in town on business, or to play at one of Firestone's great golf courses, and you just want to work on your game, Firestone 9 provides and inexpensive round that is in the Firestone family... I think you cannot go wrong for the time and money.

The Firestone 9 is maintained, as well as its sister course, the North Course at Firestone Country. Thus, one can play a course, whose condition will rival any private country club, for a reasonable green fee. The Pro Shop is well stocked, with the latest golf clothing, shoes and equipment. The facility has a driving range that offers heated tees, for the colder months. Next door is Hacker's bar and restaurant.

The tournament is coming to Akron next week. May be tough to get on.

The. Course is in beautiful shape.

Greens are best in area!I I play this course weekly and it is always in great shape! What a value for my GolfNow dollars!

With the exception of the horribly slow play (several groups with very poor play in a row caused bottleneck), playing the Firestone Public 9 leaves you with the experience like you've played a professional course. This day followed some horrendous rain and the course was still in amazing shape. Greens were fast to putt, but held for a good approach. I truly love this course!

The course was in excellent condition for the season. Tee box and greens were in top shape. Great value for the money. Wish they had 2 nines!

Course is always well maintained and the greens are quick, true and challenging. Will keep coming back.

Besides it being a great day to golf, this course is very nice; well maintained. Looking forward to my next outing!! I highly recommend it!

It was a little busy but perfect weather and great course conditions. Highly recommend.

A challenging course with multiple elevation changes and difficult and placements that will make any golfer put his game and check

Coarse was in great shape! Rating it so good cause I have played many places this year and Firestone was as good as the so called good ones !

Love this course. Very nice, well maintained. Can't wait to go back.

Maybe i expected too much, but being a Firestone and ClubCorp operated course I was not overly impressed.
First off the tees and fairways were in good shape.
The greens were a different story. According to an October 24th review the greens had been aerated a few weeks ago, well on November 18th they had not healed very well at all. Most of my putts were bouncing off of their intended line due to the bumpiness of the greens.
You need to be part billy goat if you stray off of the fairways. I remember parking my car in this area years ago for the old WSOG held at Firestone South. The land had some roll to it, but nowhere near the elevation changes and mounds, that now inhabit this piece of property. I can only assume that Padgett and Mabie were influenced by Jack Nicklaus, who was going thru his massive mounding phase of course design at that time.
The mounding and numerous blind shots, which require you to push doorbell buttons at various points on the course that ring back so that the group behind you knows that it is safe to hit, can lead to some long rounds.
I'm glad I played it, but I seriously doubt a return trip is in my future.

Yes it's short , but conditions are fabulous. Best place to play in fall and winter

Course ws in good condition , greens had been aerated a few weeks ago, But the fairways and rough had no leaves, did not waste any time looking for balls.

Great course! The only way it could be better is if it was 18 holes. I play it at least 5 times a year!
