Roses Run Country Club
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
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
Fun course, challenging
We love this course. It’s challenging and very pretty. We always have a great time here.
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.

cart
The cart I CHOSE HAD PEANUTE ON IT AT 7:30 AM. MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY CLEAN CARTS
EVERYTHING ELSE AWESOME
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!
Covid-19 affects review
Not enough carts so everyone had up to an hour delay. Let too many groups off late ( in between others). Course needs work compared to others in the area.

Not Managing the CV-19 issue well
The course booked t times without nearly enough carts. They didn’t stick to the t-times and let some groups with latter t times out before those waiting. Then they changed their “policy” and started letting people jump the schedule and walk the course, starting around 2:45 pm. Bottom line, you take people’s money and book a t time, ensure they go off in order.
And don’t book T times when you KNOW you won’t have enough carts. Bottom line, our 1:20 t time didn’t happen until 3:45pm. And then we had to play through a dozen walking the course and the slowest play I’ve ever seen. We finished on 18 at 7:45pm. And we played as fast as we possible could.
In summary, Roses Run should increase greens fees enough to eliminate the cargo shorts and BYOB crowd. They’ll get good golfers who can play on pace and have some money to fix up the course.
Very sorry, The reason that we were behind time We had a 2 and a 1/2 hour delay Because of frost We will be putting a lot of money into the golf course this year , New sod is coming to fix all greens and tee boxes and redoing all the sand traps Hopefully we will see you later on in the year
Very nice
Obviously very windy in the open but other than that it wad a perfect time .
Great course at this time of year!
Got a great hot deal price for 18 holes, course was in nice condition for this time of year! Could have done without the rain though lol.
