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.

Used to be better

Course conditions seem to be going down a lil. Greens were slow as I ever seen them. Carts were raggedy. Rough hadn't been cut. Other then that course has a nice layout and some cool holes. Price was fair.

Some really unique holes out here. Really enjoyed the views and the overall layout. Definitely a course to take a cart at. One of my favorites in the Akron area!

Slow, slow, slow

Bought 18 holes but left after 3 hours and only 9 holes. No staff out trying to move things along even after calling the clubhouse. Tee boxes were rough and weedy. Fairways and greens were relatively good. Carts looked like they were from the 20th century. I will return only to play the 9 holes they rain checked me

Miserable round

Where do I start? Grew up playing this course and always loved it. Play in a league here on mondays but my goodness the pace of play was absolutely abysmal! Had a couple in front of us messing around the entire time throwing balls and stuff with zero etiquette on the course and he tried giving a private lesson every single hole. Had another woman pull up behind us at the 9th hole and she just started playing the hole while we were in the fairway. Almost hit me in the face from about 30 yards and then started yelling at us. It was honestly one of the worst times I’ve ever had golfing. All things considered I shot an 84 on the day so I’m pleased with that, also the tee boxes are in very very rough shape.

Course Shape

The course is in fairly good shape. A few greens and tee boxes have issues, either to much water or dried out and need to be reworked. Fairways are in great shape like most greens.

Early Season Review

My wife and I played our first round of the year after it had been raining for two days so the course was very wet as expected. It was cart path only which can make for a tough day here because of the hills and rolling terrain. As wet as it was we still had a great day and couldn't believe how good the course was for this early in the season. We will be back soon !

must improve

This course gets worse every time I play it. There was grass on maybe 3 tees. The fairways were horrible also. Honestly if you can't do something about the condition it should be shut down.

Worst course conditions ever

This course was absolutely in the worst condition I’ve ever seen . Clerk was more busy watching the golf on tv then checking me out at the register . Tee boxes were straight mud or sand. Looked like someone took a chainsaw to every single tee box and the fairways in all the holes . Half the holes looked like someone blew a flamethrower on it . Fried and dead everywhere . And where it wasn’t dead it was swamped and muddy like a tractor drove through it .

From tee box to the green, the course was in the worst condition I’ve seen it in. Some holes were better than others but 80% of the holes were trash. Very disappointed.

Not good

Pace and overall conditions on the course has gone down so bad the past 2 years. Stow is a very beautiful city, and now I can’t even play at roses after today. 50 bucks to a play a terrible pace and condition course is crazy.

Awful pace of play, 4 hours 40 mins to play 15 holes

Roses Run is Notorious for slow play. They do not have a starter at the first Teebox and just have you getting a line, my teatime was at 9:12 and my group didn’t tee off until 9:32. Each tee was stacked up with a group waiting to tee off, a group in the fairway and a group on the green. Eventually quit the round on hole 15, 4 hours and 40 minutes into the round. $50 for greens fee and tee boxes were more sand than grass, multiple torn up fairways and greens with massive dead spots. The scorecard has pace for this course around 4 hours 15 mins. Absolute mess, won’t play here again.
