Great course

This is a great course. I had only played JE once before and that was a couple of years ago. This course will test your abilities off the tee box. Tree lined fairways on just about every hole make it a long day if you can't drive the ball. If you can hit fairways you will have a very enjoyable round with all 3 par 5's being reachable! Greens are in superb condition right now. Rolling perfect on every hole. I really enjoy this course and will be back!

So much potential!

J. E. Goodpark has SO MUCH POTENTIAL if it only got some TLC from its groundskeeper. The grass needs a good consistent watering to repair some severe dead spots on fairways and in rough. The holes are challenging and have an excellent layout. The golfnow system does not sync with the Pro Shop's computer so make sure you have your email receipt. The greens are a little beat up in some areas, but it does not affect speed or roll. The rough is not as thick as other reviews are claiming. Booking this course for anything under $25 is a good rate. If only they gave this baby some more love...

Wet conditions, but staff and quick drainage made up for it!

We got there right as a storm hit. We only had to wait about 30 minutes before we were aloud out (only played the front 9), but the friendliness of the staff definitely made up for it. The greens were only "it just poured" slow for 2 holes, then they drained very nicely. Otherwise, course was in really nice shape. Definitely challenging if you're not straight off the tee. I will always play at Good Park!

Unforgiving

The course is filled with a lot of trees if you don't stay in the fairway. It seemed as though I hit everyone in sight. That's why I call it unforgiving.

First Time Playing Here

After seeing this course so many times driving down I-77, I purchased a Group Golfer coupon for this course and went with another couple. Couldn't beat the price of $19 for 18 and a cart. Very nice course. Liked the layout. Rough was very high and hard to find balls.

As a woman golfer, my only complaint, as I have with many many golf courses, is that there are no bathroom facilities out on the course. I don't understand why courses don't spend the money on an $80-90/month port-a-john! I know men who need them too! Won't be back just for this reason.

Keep the ball in the fairway

The roughs were too deep, hard to find balls.

Good Park stands the test of time

Nothing fancy about this course; keep the ball between the trees and below the hole, if you can. Course was in great condition for mid-October. Staff was helpful. A must-play in NE Ohio!

The Park

Grew up playing this course located in West Akron. The course is still in fairway and greens are still in great shape, however noticed that in some areas in the rough around the greens that patches of grass have died. Overall, for a municipal course it is in great shape and a good challenge for any golfer from either the middle or back tees.

A happy surprise

Heard about this course from a friend and gave it a shot. What a great surprise. Very tight, well-maintained course requiring careful 2nd shot planning. More doglegs than a kennel. Greens were unexpectedly fast for a muni course. Overall, a very happy experience, and one I hope to repeat.

What happened?

The course was in terrible condition fairways are trashed especially around the greens. Play was incredibly slow and a course ranger was nowhere to be seen. Seem to us like they stop watering the course I understand we had a lot of rain earlier in the season but why do you let your grass die from lack of water? Why do I say lack of water? , because the entire course was hard as a rock.

Good course

I enjoyed the course. Not an avid golfer. Course is narrow and a lot of trees. Pace of play was slow. Was actually early for our tee time but had to wait to tee off 2 foursomes deep in front of us. I was also in a foursome. Overall a good looking course would give it 3 1/2 stars if possible versus a 3. Would go back again if I can get a hot deal price. Thanks

Beautiful Ohio Golf

Good Park is a classic and really fun to play. It is long and tight with huge trees. Greens were in perfect shape. Fairways and rough were immaculate. For a municipal course what more could you want? This is also a really tough course. Many challenging holes that will test even the expert's game. Love this place and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

Course good, staff bad

Played the course multiple times over the years, course itself is in good condition, fairly challenging, and usually a good value. However this last visit when we made the turn, we were in the club house getting a snack, we weren't in there more than 4 minutes when a staff member essentially told us we had to get to the 10th tee box. I politely informed him that the 4 some in front of me had just left the club house not 2 minutes prior, and all I wanted to do was finish my hot dog real quick. He turned around and very sarcastically said, "I'm trying to run a golf course here" and walked away. Offended, I got up, finished my hot dog in the kart, drove to 10 tee box, and proceeded to wait 7 minutes before I could even tee off. I've been golfing for over 20 years, I play at a good pace, I never dilly dally around, and I know how to play efficiently. For me, the experience I have is just as important as the quality of the course, so with that being said I will not be playing Good Park again, and I will not recommend it to any friends or family members.

moderately fast and firm greens, tight tree-lined fairways and in great condition. There are long par 4's throughout so bring your A game.

Great, challenging layout

Every tee box needed some work/cut grass. Other than that, Goodpark is ALWAYS one of the best places to play in northeast Ohio.

Old School Course In Great Shape

I could see Good Park from I-77 and drove by for years without playing it. I had heard good things about it. Well, I finally played it and regret that it took me this long.

I could tell quickly why this course has hosted amateur tournaments. If you're hitting it well, you can score. If you start spraying the ball, you will be punching out all day long. It's an old school style with lots of big, mature trees.

The course was in terrific shape. What little I saw of the fairways were perfect to hit from. The greens rolled beautifully. We had heavy rain the night before, but I had trouble finding my ball mark on the green to repair it.

Course knowledge could save some strokes, so I'm hoping to play it again soon.

love this course

Mini Firestone. This course is tough. Long holes and tight fairways. If you don't hit it straight you will be playing from under a tree all day long.
