J. E. Good Park Golf Course

No water here but plenty of trees! Play was slow today but better days ahead.

Challenging layout off the tee, trees lining both sides of the (narrowish) fairways, not many straight away tee shots, being able to work the ball slightly off the tee both ways is a plus. Some tighter fairways may require longer irons or 3 woods off the tee (accuracy ; sharp dog legs). If you have trouble hitting the fairways you may begin to get frustrated, having to punch out 2nd shots trying to save pars all round. Based on our Sunday Evening (2:56pm) tee time they get a high volume of play. This can result in rounds exceeding the 4 1/2 hour mark, so be prepared for that. Booked the round for $30/person which is um...reasonable for a evening weekend tee off... I guess. In our case, driving 35 miles to come play might have rated a little below average for the overall experience, but due to the challenging little layout this course offers I rated it 4 stars. If you are in the area, it wouldn't hurt to play this course, I think you will have a enjoyable time.

A great place to play. Have to keep it in the fairway to get bridie looks, otherwise you're scrambling. Home of the summit county amateur open.

Enjoyed the experience. Very challenging. Greens have slope but are relatively slow.

It was either hole 17 or 18 where you see another tee box off to the left about 100 yds. I feel its an accident waiting to happen. Other than that i enjoyed the course.

not the easiest course especially if you are not playing well , tree lined, plenty of sand , some green sit up a bit and when we played it was pretty windy, nice course , just not my most enjoyable day playing

great course. could have played quicker. ready golf should be enforced.

we played behind some slow players.. which was quite frustrating! 3 in carts, playing from Blues should have been faster than 4 playing from whites behind them!

Good Park is a well maintained public course that has matured gracefully over the years. The use of trees to narrow and shape the course has produced a manageable but challenging track. Tee boxes are moved regularly, greens are in great shape, roughs are shorter (yea!), and the time to complete the 6200+ yard is reflective of course conditions. Go Good Park!

Hit is in the rough - lose a stroke - very punitive. Tight course. Greens very slow due to recent rains. Challenging layout, excellent value. Hard to make up shots on greens because so slow.

Had two guys playing from blues as a twosome who made my wife and I wait on most shots. We would have played in 3 hours comfortably otherwise. Hope they were playing for a lot of money, because they were slow and the whole course was open ahead of them.

Nice course but very tight off the tee and narrow fairways. Green's are on the easier side.

Lived 30 miles from this course and never played it - I have played it twice now and love it! - Old school, tree lawn fairways, nice greens, friendly staff...I ran out of gas in my automobile and the starter helped me out also!!

Greens are not being kept well so far this year as I have played Good Park for the past 7 years and the greens have NEVER been this slow or poorly kept.
The staff is rude, and poorly mannered, aside from the woman working in the snack bar area who was very friendly.
I won't return this summer unless I hear from a reliable source the Greens are in much better shape, and the price of the course during weekday specials drops 5 to 10$.

Everything about the course was great except for one thing: the rough. If you hit your ball off of the fairway at all, good luck finding it. Half of our round was spent looking for golf balls. The rough was long, thick and almost impossible to hit from.

Half of the holes are doglegs, Bert Way must have felt a need to build doglegs here to make up for the relatively straight holes he designed at Firestone South. The rough had not been cut yet this season, which made it tough to find balls off of the fairway. The tees were in good shape. The greens were spotty, and in no way, were they as good or fast as the practice green.

The course offers enough dog legs to make the game more interesting and challenging especially your 425yd par-4..Your par3's are wonderful and soft. Everything about your course makes it one of my favorites, especially the home made food.

Good Park is a well maintained city owned course that is challenging to the average golferand a very good value.

played only half the holes and would not even give us a 9 hole rain check. Sounded like they frowned upon GOLFNOW uses. Probably won't go back anytime soon

If you like a challenging, well maintained golf course than play Good Park if you're ever in the Akron area. It's only 6,600 yards with no water and only about 30 traps, but there are thousands of trees that line almost every hole. Great test of golf!!

Drove 45 miles because this is my favorite course. Scenic and challenging.
