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 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.

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!

Course Needs Help!!

Been playing here since I learned the game. Our league came here 8 years ago and it was a dream come true. This is a classic old school layout with huge mature trees and challenging holes. One of my favorite layouts anywhere. The problem is the city has strained their budget to the point they don't hire competent maintenance people and the conditions have suffered badly. I'm amazed the annual Amateur Tourneys haven't found another home. Our league has considered the same for the past few years. Hopefully, this can and will change because, as I said, this is a fantastic old girl....I'd hate to see her go.

Wet spots

I love this gourse. Greens good and course layout with big beautiful old trees. You need good course management. Too many wet mushy spots and some landscaping cleanup needs done. Tha being said, I'd play here anytime. Great value!

Recommending Good Park

Our group has played GP for many years and it continues to be on of the most liked courses we play. Tough course, but it can be very satisfying to post a good round.

The staff is also top notch!
