Roses Run Country Club is touted as being northeast Ohio's toughest public golf course. The course has an interesting mix of holes from lengthy par 4s to tough par 3s and reachable par 5s. The front nine is a traditional links layout while the back nine hugs the Cuyahoga River with winding fairways that melt into fast, sloping greens. The layout incorporates a variety of elevation changes ranging from subtle to dramatic. There are also water hazards and strategically placed bunkers coming into play throughout. Roses Run Country Club will require some creative shot-making and the use of every club in your bag. It's a formidable layout that will test even the most skilled players. There is a driving range and practice putting green you can use for warming up, which might be a good idea before taking on this tough course.

Never going back

This is a decent course, actually with a beautiful clubhouse and bar/patio. I played with 3 other guys today, and it was supposed to be 18, but the first 9 played in 3 hours and 20 minutes....9 holes....3 hours and 20 minutes...of course it’s a busy place due to Fourth of July coming up, but it’s obvious that they either took anyone that came and gave them a tee time or they just didn’t care about pace of play. Any ranger that would have gone out would have seen 3 groups on EVERY TEE!!! A group behind us quit after 7 holes and I don’t blame them a bit. Also, got a hot dog after my only 9 (I couldn’t take it anymore) and was not told (after standing at the bar for about 3 minutes after I paid), that there was a serve yourself station. Open bag of buns that every golfer in front of me put their hands in. Nice Safety quality there! I’ve enjoyed rounds here in the past but it’s just an odd layout on many holes that aren’t enjoyable or clever, and today put me over the edge. I won’t come back.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of the course and your round with us. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round.

With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve and will use your comment as guidance in doing so. We are glad to see that you enjoyed the clubhouse and bar/patio to be great during your game.

Great course-Terrible carts

Roses Run is a beautiful course and is in super condition .Only complaint was the terrible golf cart we had..either you had very little blacking power or the brakes would lock-up.Still a very nice course and 2e will come back

6 hour round

First time playing course. Teed off at 11:45. Finished at 6:00pm. MISERABLE. Group of drunks in front of us and not a ranger to be seen. Expected more out of a “country club”.

A Beautiful Course with a Friendly Marshal

There were a few groups clumped together around 9:00 am and everyone had to start on the back 9. It was just my father-in-law and me, and we started behind two foursomes. Notably, the first foursome was quite slow, and so the first three holes were pretty slow. Thankfully, the marshal was on top of everything, and even pushed the foursome in front of us to play through the first foursome, and then eventually we were able to play through that initial (i.e. first) foursome. After we were able to play through, things went fairly smoothly. Overall, the course is challenging, but a good kind of challenging with interesting layouts, narrow fairways, and pretty views. We'll certainly play there again.

2nd Time Out

Was a fun time, very nice course, with a different challenge on each hole, great staff, be careful you don't get lost going from 8th green to 9th Tee... But overall great place will be back soon

Course is great, carts not

It has been 4 or 5 years since I last played here. The course looked great. They really need to do something about their carts. The twosome I played with had to call for a new cart on the 3rd hole. I switched out my cart after 9 holes. The next cart wasn't much better. The problem was they were really slow going uphill, sometimes wondering if they were going to quit.

Quirky Layout and Quirky Greens

The course is interesting and challenging. But parts of it are downright quirky. For example, the Par 5 fifth hole is 350 yards. I teed off with a 9 iron to keep in front of the lake. Hit 2 good shots to get right in front of the green, only to find out the there was no way to keep my chip shot anywhere close to the pin because it was tucked in the extreme right corner of the green. It seemed like the greenskeeper had a bad day. A number of the pins were not easily accessible at all.

Pace of play was a problem too. The front nine was almost 3 hours. We never saw a ranger. We quit after 11 holes and 3.5 hours of our time. We couldn’t take it anymore.

We will not likely play again.

Inconsistent and lack of interest

Hadn’t played Roses Run in years and thought I’d give it another try. Person at the pro shop didn’t even get up to greet me and groused about it being done through GolfNow. I had to ask where to go next. Picked out a cart only to find out the brakes didn’t work hardly at all when we raced down the hill between 1&2. Traded out said cart at the turn and the guy couldn’t care one bit , just said go get another one. The last 6 holes are nicely laid out & they’re working on improving the conditions but the greens were very inconsistent in speed, which was frustrating. Won’t be back again.

Need someone to keep pace of play!!!!!

I like Rose's Run. The course provides some challenges, but the biggest challenge was the pace of play.....5.75 hrs is a bit ridiculous. The front we played in just under 2. The back however we'll call it 4 hrs. Groups were cutting in front of groups, at one point we waited 20 minutes to hit our ball because a group cut in front of us and they took at least 10 strokes playing best ball to reach a 390yd par 4. Last 3 holes following this group took an hr.

Wonderful course!

This was my first time playing Roses Run and it will most certainly not be my last! I had a noon tee time and opted to play the back first since I was playing alone. I didn’t see one golfer on the entire back nine which was great! I was at total peace on the course! Missed an ace on 17 by 4 inches, so close! Front nine was pretty slow bc of all the groups but nothing out of the ordinary. This course was in great shape for this early in the year and the layout is one of my new favorites In the area! I highly recommend this course to anyone!
