Rating 73.3

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.

Unwelcoming

Very unwelcoming golf course if you are not a member. If I could give this place zero stars I would. Course is beautiful but staffing is rude

Do not waste your money here if you’re not a semi-pro player

This place was a total let down. Very unwelcoming staff. I had a party of 4 with one of the members not being the best golfer in the world. We let multiple people go ahead of us and we were not taking extra long at all. The new girl once crossed the green and was told by myself that she shouldn’t do that. She did not do that again. We got a visit from the ranger who was driving down the green (lol) to tell us not to cross the green. He proceeded to watch us, so I approached him to ask if he plans on watching us the rest of the game as if we were the worst people in the world to attend the course as it is unsettling and nerve racking. This man was an old, bitter soul who barked back telling us yes he is and we can either hurry up or finish. I decided to pick up my things and leave. On top of that, we didn’t get our money back. Just a rain check after completing 4 holes. We were kind, curious and even let 2 people with less of a party go ahead of us so we didn’t hold them up. If you can save a trip, I would say don’t even waste your time with this place. Up tight, snooty people who think they are better than you and are not welcoming to new guests.

The course was great, pace of play was great, only complaint is our cart died on the 15th hole and we had to push it until we could no longer push going up the hill to the 18th m but we called and they brought us a fresh cart

Night and Day

This isn't the first time playing Roses Run. The previous outings were on weekends where rounds in excess of five hours were normal. Today, November 2nd, three hour and fifteen minutes to play a round on a course that is set up for the winter. This is a very interesting course that was night and day different from playing on a weekend..

A Gem

Roses Run is an amazing layout and facility. 3rd time and this is now in my top 3 fav' public tracks. Greens were aerated recently on front...back was healing up and it's fall but oh can't wait to come back next summer. I'm an avid golfer and have played just about everywhere... This is s true gem.

Challenging,fair,a beauty. Only complaint is poor signage from 7 green to 9 tee.Got it now but be careful... Also "the handicapper" strikes again w/ 12 as #4 handicap....please.

Put this in the rota...moving our outing here...you won't be sorry.

A good overall value.

Roses Run always has good values, and I always enjoy playing here. If this course could fix the bumpiness and improve the quality of the grass on the greens (yesterday doesn't count because it was just aerated), it would be one of the better courses in the area.

The only issue I have is that I booked a 2:40 pm time. Golfnow showed most tee times available. We were on time, paid, and at the tee box at 2:38 only to find a 2 some and 4 some lined up after no one had teed off in almost 20 minutes.. Either these groups were walk-in, or they were late, but either way there should be a starter or someone else to send us out first instead of waiting on these guys to hit every shot. The worst part is that the 2 some held back play, with the 4 some waiting to hit every shot. I'm sure these 2 guys that were taking their time shooting 100's were likely also playing the blues, but when I see multiple open holes and you are holding up a 4 some constantly, someone on staff should be aware and say something.

This Beauty is a Beast

Absolutely love the layout. I heard holes 12-16 will make you want to quit golf. It's challenging, but fantastic. A scenic treat on the back 9 is a bonus, but each hole is its own different test. I will definately be back soon.

Just ok

Course was in fair shape but seemed to be a lot of grass clumps & clippings around for how dry it had been on fairways. Course was pretty easy & straight-forward with a few tricky holes on the back but overall not all that interesting.

Very Pleasant Round

Course is in pretty good condition. There are a few holes that require longer hits than my partner and I can achieve so it helps drive up the score. It was a very enjoyable round and we will probably return next year.

Look forward to playing again. Now having a familiar idea of play a few holes we will play differently. Tee boxes in great shape and greens were excellent!
