J. E. Good Park Golf Course

Good Park is a very traditional tree lined layout. It the type of course that tells you what shot you are intended to play, and good luck if you do not play that shot. Trees line both sides of most fairways, several holes have extreme doglegs. Miss the fairway and your will likely be chipping out.

The conditions of the course were better than I had heard, everything was well maintained, greens, fairways, and tees.

It is a target golf type of course and does not leave a lot of room for errors on either side.

I played with one other person who showed me the course while playing excellent golf,very friendly.

The course is mature with many large oak and elm trees , stay out of that trouble.

GoodPark has always been maintained in great condition for a city-owned/public course. Very challenging course with very mature trees lining all fairways. Greens in excellent condition.

Challenging layout with many twists and turns through fairways lined with large trees.

A long course from the tips. Great finishing holes on each nine.

Best greens I have putted on in NE Ohio in 2017. Exceptional true and consistent.

Eight man outing and had a great time. Good weather, friends and times.

This is an excellent public course when it is not underwater… A lot of different shots that require the use of most clubs in your bag… The number nine hole is a long par three surrounded by bunkers and a big oak tree which can build your confidence or crush your hopes along with your score. I play here twice a week, the restaurant is also fantastic!

This course lacks water hazards and has minimal hazards overall, but provides many longer par 4's that are mostly slight doglegs. J.E. Goodpark features a lot of trees to defend itself, and they do a good job of punishing misses. Overall, greens have some speed and break, and the rough is tall enough to make club selection important. I enjoy this city operated course, and am always surprised that Akron does a nice job here (for example I lived in the city for 10 years and my street was never plowed).

Good Park is a challenging course with lots of mature trees and plenty long enough. Enjoyable place to play! Typically its very busy so be prepared for a slower round. They do have a ranger patrolling to try and keep play moving.

Nice course, good layout, miss the fairway and the rough is miserable, nice greens..

Lots of trees stay in the fairway :)

Beautiful golf course but The pace was really slow. The course condition was excellent. And again the pace of play was terrible!!! Maybe I will play it next year.

Greens are great. Course adds a good challenge layout. Greens roll true with no bounce. Will play again.

Course was great! Golf Now burned me though. They charged the current rates plus their fee. Was ticked off when I got to the pro shop and found that out.

This course is a real treat from the tips. If you can avoid the trees, you can score but it is challenging. A bit beat up around the greens.
