J. E. Good Park Golf Course

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.

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 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.

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 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

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.

Always a great course to play, challenging holes and beautiful layout.

8:30am Sunday tee time. Waited a little, but overall not too bad. Course is really nice and a great value. Loved the greens

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.

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.

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!

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.

Nice play for the money. Decent layout. Pretty well kept. Nice greens

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!
