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.

Home course
To me, this is my favorite public course layout by far. I’ve played here for years and will continue to go back. Very laid back and as long as you don’t go on a weekend it’s well worth the $30 some dollars. Play it a couple times and thing bring a friend that has never played it. Guarantee win. Enjoy
- cheers
Just get a ranger
The conditions are much improved from what they’ve been. Greens and tee boxes are in much better shape. Layout is great as always. Biggest complaint is get a ranger, just finished close to a six hour round due to one group being incredibly slow.
Amazing Back Nine
The back nine, featuring the intimidating 12th and 14th, offers a truly unique golfing experience you will need your A -game to survive. Bring a half dozen old golf balls just in case. There’s a river, wetlands and pock bunkers to watch out for. The front nine is more open but it’s also well above average layout and condition than most public courses.
Much Improved
I played this course earlier in the year and it was in bad shape. I gave it another try after hearing they had a new greens keeper.
The change is remarkable. This course is in the best shape it has ever been. Greens are very good. Tee boxes are improving but still need some work.
They need to give that guy a raise!
Your average golfer
A buddy and I played this course one last time before moving out of state, last time I played this course it was in great shape, this time not so much tee boxes weren’t mowed and the tee markers weren’t on the tee box thought they were gonna mow them but not a mower insight, the greens were really nice ball rolled good, not to wet and not to dry, the fairways were mowed but there was a lot of clumped up dead grass in the fairways. The day got better on the back 9 when I got a hole in one on number 11, it was my first one so I was super pumped, kinda disappointed to find out when I got back to the club house they don’t do anything to recognize your hole in one even with a witness and video of it, the guy in the club house was kinda rude when I told him I got a hole in one, real sarcastic oh wow way to go, must be nice
Nice course
Super beautiful course. The back 9 are challenging but it’s a good time. And staff is super friendly
Unfortunately not worth playing late in the summer...
Tee boxes were in terrible shape, looked like no maintenance had been done all summer - so tees were placed in the small areas that were not hacked up yet, frequently in a corner of the box with uneven stances. Course just looks generally unkempt throughout the summer. They also do not have rated tees to post scores for GHIN - definitely not worth their asking price.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Course was very nice. Some confusion on the way the course goes and no maps on where holes are. Pace was very very slow. Was frustrating at times.
Not my favorite course because of the layout of several holes: 5 , 12 , 14, 16, 17. However, it is difficult and long for older players.
The value for hot deals is good

Last Resort Only
This course has struggled mightily since it was built. The layout is terrible.
#2 green is 4-5 yards wide at most.
#'s 4 & 5 are horrible dogleg rights. The green on 5 is a joke.
#12 is a circus hole that is missing landing areas needed to make the hole playable.
#14 back tee box is 80% blocked off on the right by a tree, then you hit the fairway and the ball goes left onto a sidehill lie or into the woods. It's also a par 5 with no landing area for a 2nd shot.
#15 back tee has branches that get in the way of your backswing and the green has a 2 foot high ridge in the middle for no reason.
#17 green possible the worst part of the course, somehow.
Go play anywhere else. Unless you like instant and constant regret. They charge too much to play the worst course in the area. You may think I have a vendetta against the course or the owners, but I just like to play decent golf courses.

Declining Rapidly
I’ve played this course a dozen times over the past 3/4 years. The conditions seem to get worse every time I show up. Tee boxes are in very rough shape. Large dead patches in the green and on the fairways. Carts are on their last leg, very banged up. Course has plenty of potential, it’s just not taken care of anymore.
