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.

Back Nine Challenge

For April, the course was in decent shape. There was no starter so it was backed up to begin, but played decently with minimal waiting.. If you can survive holes 12-14 you may have a good day.

Great Course

We really enjoyed this golf course. There where some very challenging holes, but many where open and long. It has everything you need to challenge yourself, water, bunkers, tree lines and a few tough greens, although not sure why they chose to place the flags as if it was the Masters. Over all we like it and we will play this course again.

Winter Golf

We played 18 holes with a cart. We booked our reservation on golf now. When we arrived to the course we were charged $6 more than the advertised rate. When I showed them my reservation they were very unfriendly and basically said tough, pay more or go home. Wow, then they blamed the booking service. It's not the $ it's the principle. They advertise a low rate get you there then charge more. I won't be going back. It's supposed to be FUN.

Bad Management Beautiful Layout

This course is wonderful in the sense that every hole is unique and difficult..... They double booked the tee times and the wait between holes was around 40 minutes with 4 groups at every tee box. Also every trash can was overflowing causing trash to blow all around the tee boxes. This course should be a premier course in the area however very easy things to fix are not held up to standard.

Good Morning, Hunter. We appreciate you taking the time to review our course. We're sorry to hear that the pace of play less than favorable. It's hard to enjoy a round of golf when you have to wait 40 minutes between holes. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the course layout. We hope your next round with us has a better pace. See you soon!

Several holes that are difficult and fun at the same time

We followed a group of 5 that started that way on the first hole and seemed to have no concern for all of the groups behind them. Had to skip two holes to finish before dark. Five hours and fifteen minutes for sixteen holes is a bit much. I pointed the group out to the pro shop. For the recent amount of rain the course was in great shape.

The Tale of the TWO Nines !

Roses Run is a fun course with several extremely difficult holes. Over all it's fun to play and I say an Easy 9 & a tough NINE ! The snack shop sucks and the course can sometimes take for ever on the back nine. We enjoy it when the sun is shining and play speed is good. Good value for the money .

Great First Impression........

This was my first trip down to Stow to play Roses Run CC after years of procrastination, and I regret not playing here sooner.....

For the amount of rain and cool damp conditions that existed for close to 6 days prior, the Course was to be (what I felt were) in Great condition......

The Greens had been aerated approximately 4-5 weeks ago, so they're not going to roll true, and that is with any Course, but I liked the contour and undulation in the Greens and can only imagine how much of a challenge they'll be in the Late Spring/Early Summer......

I enjoyed the layout and the varying styles that separate the Front and Back Nines......

It feels like two completely different courses.....

The friendliness and professionalism of the staff I experienced this day was exceptional, and one of the contributing factors in my decision to play more Golf here in 2017.....(and special thanks to Jim who brought me a cart on #2, when my cart wasn't serviceable).

If you've been procrastinating about playing Roses Run as I had, don't hesitate to book a round.....you'll enjoy the experience!

Great value/Pace of play

This is a challenging course that's fun to play. Is a bit spread out, sometimes hard to figure out where next hole is located (from 7 to 8, and also 13.14,15 holes can be confusing). Starter did explain the last 3, so that helped. Overall had a great time, course was in good shape for November 7th and played 18 in a little over 3 hrs. It was also 65 degrees and sunny, so that definitely added to the round. A good test of your golfing skills.

Very good course

I have played this course several times. Pretty good layout. Some of the holes are close to the houses but not many, Back nine is more challenging but very scenic. The course could use another set of tee boxes. There is one at 6100 yards and next is 5000.

6100 is too long for me and 5000 too short.

The course was in good condition for November, however the greens had been aerated a couple weeks before but not rolled and cut recently.

Course conditions were very,very good considering the lack of rain, Back 9 was very challenging

1st time playing this course and it was worth the 100 mile drive. Greens and fairways were in great shape. The entire course winds through neighborhoods so there is very little room left or right. The par 5 #12 is extremely challenging. The green on par 3 #17 is totally unfair unless hole was located on lower left tier of the green. The greens were fast but true.Will definitely recommend to friends.

Roses Run

Fun course in very nice condition. For those who complain about pace of play. Give your fellow golfers a break. Hole's 12 / 13 / 14 (Hail Mary Corner) will challenge the best of players. So expect a delay there. Overall, this course has made our groups must play again rating.

Great Cource/Excellent Condition

Couldn't have asked for anything better from the late AM breakfast to the course conditions to the pace of play. 3 of us finished our round in 3 1/2 hrs. What more could you ask for on a beautiful July day.

Course is a bit tired

We have played this course several times, but not for the last two years. We were a bit disappointed. The carts are old and our cart cover was dirty and torn. The tee markers were not painted and, in the case of the forward tees, sometime non-existent. Pace of play was slowed by a foursome two groups ahead of us and there were no starters or rangers on the course to move things along. Nonetheless, the course is challenging with an interesting layout. Hopefully, the owners will pay more attention to the details.

Not what I expected

We were very disappointed in the condition of the course. The greens were in questionable condition with a lot of bad spots for whatever reason. We live in North Canton and can play much nicer courses that are not as far. We checked in to the pro shop and were told to check in with the starter. We never saw the starter and not at the turn either. We just did our own thing. We played with 2 other fellows who also booked thru golfnow
