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.

Always a good test of your skills

Enjoy this course and play often. Very challenging and you will use most of your clubs in the bag. Played a couple weeks after aeration and the greens were in good shape. Come out and enjoy the course.

Surprise

Golf now will likely point fingers and not take blame for a very unfortunate experience. The back nine of the course was closed to maintain the greens. My daughter and I each drove over an hour to meet at the course. She had never been there and I was anxious to play the WHOLE course with her. Surprise...my only option was to play the front twice! Pre paying when the facts are not revealed is not acceptable!

Roses Run is a beautiful course and very challenging. The par 5's are a real challenge that will test your accuracy.

Course conditions present challenge

While there were a number of areas that were dried out, the course was in pretty good shape. Trouble with Roses Run is that there are several holes on the backside that offer no bail out zones and are laid out in a weird way. 12,13 and 14 come to mind.

Room for improvement

The coarse was in good overall condition but the greens were not cut and rolled a little uneven.

The T boxes also need a little TLC

Terrible course...

I have played Roses Run probably 10 times in my lifetime. This is by far the worst, that the course has ever been. For 30 dollars on a Tuesday afternoon at 1:15 pm, with not a sole on the golf course; I was excited to get my round started. I quickly realized why no one was on it. The course was in horrific shape, the entire course was brown, dead and as hard as a rock. I would have been mad at paying 12 dollars to play that course in that shape. To make matters worse, they sent a foursome of amateurs off the back right in front of us; who took 4 holes to let us play through. Geese had overrun the entire 18th hole and you couldn't hold a green if you tried, due to the arid nature of the course.

Never Again!!!

The track is not bad but the pace of play was horrible (no ranger or starter). The golf carts are old and need serious maintenance, several times I felt as if my life was in danger due to lack of brakes while going down steep grades (no joke)...
Additionally, no water on either 9 to drink and no beverage cart. I WILL NEVER RETURN...

Roses Run

The course and facilities were really nice. The only complaint was the pace of play. Rangers need to be more aware of this and encourage players to keep up. The scorecard even has the time it should take to play each hole. We tee'd off at 9:16am and it took almost 5hrs to play due to the slow players(who were playing best ball mind you) in front of us. I'll play the course again but earlier so I can finish in a decent amount of time.

Very enjoyable day of golf!

Greens were in excellent condition. Some challenges to the course, water, bunkers and shot placement a must. Staff very friendly. Would have liked to see a ranger on the course, some slow play with a 4 some 2 groups in front. Would have liked to see someone pushing them on. Will be back soon.

Slow Play

played as a 3 some. Had a 5 some in front of us. Told one of the staff about 5 people playing together, his answer was that you can have as much as 6 players together. That was all I needed to hear. Won't be back, all of your top notch tracks do not allow more than a 4 some. To top it off , they all looked like beginners. 6 hour round, if you like a 6 hour round this is the place.

9 holes played on a soggy day

The course was in great shape for being so wet with the heavy rains we have had. Cart path only golf is a little frustrating, but that was our choice to play. Enjoyed it and I will be back.

Slow Play

I used to love this course it completely went downhill. Fairways were long, greens slow and pace of play was so slow I just left on the 13th hole. One group was playing with 6 people and no ranger in sight.

Good course for price.

One of the funnest courses to play in area. Price we paid was a great deal for 18 especially for quality of the course. Only downfall is a stretch of holes 13-15 where all the holes are next to each other and iF you don't hit a great straight tee shot on any of them you could hit someone or lose your ball. Other than that Roses Run is a fun course.

this course has been let go

I was very disappointed, I used to play here in a league and the course was decently maintained. For what ever reason they are not spending any time or money on maintenance. Greens were very bumpy and super slow. Also, we had to switch carts at the turn because we were starting to have to push up hills, as did the group in front of us. On top of everything else, no hot dogs at the turn, they were out - at 230 on the first real nice Sunday of the season! All in all, a bad experience, definitely won't be back this season.

Excellent track

I found a hot deal on golfnow, and didn't really know what to expect. What a treat this course is! We played this course in some of the toughest conditions. It was about 35 degrees with wind 20 to 25 mph, and it was a challenge.
The front is links style with very few trees. The back is quite a bit different with more slope, and more trees. I find this contrast to be another strength of the course. Each hole has great character, and specific strategy. I got the feeling that a great deal of thought went into presenting a course with plenty of challenge, and equal fairness.
This is absolutely a challenging course, but never beats you down too much. I could go on and on, but I'll finish by mentioning the unorthodox, many times, multi level greens. There is hardly a straight putt out there, but again, as a player, you feel as though you're in on the joke, and not the victim.

Not bad shape for March

Because of the cold weather, I had the course virtually to myself. Conditions were good for late March. Greens still have aeration dimples, but generally were
still good for putting. Course drained very well for all the snow that melted. The par 4's are still tough for me, but I enjoyed the day.
