If only the City of Akron improved their maintenance.
This is a wonderful old course which used to host most of the important local amateur tournaments. However, due to minimal maintenance other than mowing the grass, the greens and bunkers are sub-standard. The traps are 75% dirt, 25% sand and very shallow. The greens are slow, bumpy (due to seldom being rolled) and different speeds from hole to hole. The course is very challenging as every hole is a slight dogleg, trees everywhere to tighten the width. Desk help and snack shop help are excellent and very friendly.
The other municipal courses in the Akron area are far better maintained and supported by their city management, sadly Goodpark has suffered from city neglect for years now.
Home Course
I learned how to play on this course about 35 years ago. Obviously the trees and vegetation has grown which makes it more challenging. Not a course for long drives, except for #5. Keep the ball low and you can have a good outing. Love this place and always will!
Good value for the money
Course and greens were in good shape. Played as a single and it took 4 hours to play 18. Probably could've been quicker if threesome ahead of me either offered to let me play through or played their shots quicker, got up to their balls quicker and got off the greens quicker. There were groups ahead of them, but were playing in slow motion, and on most holes could've kept moving better than they did. No courtesy extended to a single player waiting on them for each shot on the back nine, after getting through a slow front nine of play. Was around 96 degrees and hot, but overall I enjoyed the round.
Challenging track in pretty good shape
Good Park is all about keeping the ball in the fairway. If you do that, you’ll score. If you don’t, you won’t. Greens could ideally roll a little quicker, but they’re definitely in good shape. Got a good deal at $27 for 18…will definitely return.
Delay your tee time without notice
Our tee time was delayed without any notice or apology. Rude.

Great Course
Course is in excellent condition. Traps are maintained very well. Hit the same tree I did 40 years ago, the last time I played Good Park.
Good Park
Sunday mornings are very busy, player skills aside. Expect to wait each hole. But it’s also a layup course so players are constantly hitting short

Painfully slow play
Tees should be cut shorter. Pace of play was painfully slow. Waited 5 -10 minutes each shot.

Nothing to do with the course.
The course is one of my favorites. However, this review is an attempt to get in contact with an actual person with Golfnow to cancel my reservation due to the course being closed. There isn't a cancel tab under my reservation and the provided phone number is just a recording. So now I'm unable to cancel the round because I'm unable to have anyone confirm the course is actually closed in order to get my refund. I have been booking with Golfnow since they started but this is absolutely unacceptable.
Great value
Very challenging, if you're a fan of Donald Ross type courses (not a Ross course) smallish tricky greens and demanding off the tee, this is a fun course. Definitely playing here again.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting J. E. Good Park Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
