Rating 71.8

Chippewa Golf Club in Doylestown sits just a few minutes south of Akron. It's one of the area's most popular public courses. Opened in 1962, the golf course has a traditional layout that sprawls across rolling hills. The undulating landscape provides a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Accuracy is key since mature trees frame most of the holes and the massive, contoured greens also present a challenge. If you can keep it in the fairway, there are some great birdie opportunities on the par 5s. Overall, Chippewa Golf Club is player friendly enough for all skill levels to enjoy with the exception of the treacherous 14th, 15th, and 16th holes. This trio, nicknamed the "Bermuda Triangle," will test the putting skills of even the best golfers.

SLOW!!!!

Round of golf took 5 ½ hours! Most holes had two groups waiting on tee when we got there.

It was a nice layout, somewhat challenging. A little condition problems, as there where aeration on some holes.

No Ranger

There was no Ranger. One foursome had the entire back 9 backed up. By hole#13, there was four groups on one tee waiting. We had to wait about 10 minutes between shots. Absolutely ridiculous and will not go back!

Father/son

Course layout is odd (2 par 5’s in a row to start back 9). Holes are on top of one another. Greens were chewed up due to a lot of pitch marks. Fairways had some bare spots. Back tees had some fun driving positions.

excellent first visit

Course was in the nicest shape of any place I'd seen all year. Pace of play was no issue as we were the first group off on a Thursday morning. Very short from the white tees, but lots of variable distances so I was able to hit almost every club in the bag. Not just a driver-wedge course. Lots of blind shots and elevation changes, especially on the back 9. A course you need to play several times to get a feel for. The only thing I didn't like was the 4 brutal greens on the back 9. (12, 14-16). Now I know to watch out for them and I will play here again.

Incredible Everything

Course was in immaculate shape, especially given the downpours we have had recently. There were about six foursomes all going off on the front, the starter let me start on the back in front in between turning groups who were more than willing to allow me to play through when the he opportunity was appropriate. Played 18 holes in about 3.25 hours. The carts were great and really gave you accurate yardage which was really nice given the amazing rolling terrain and elevation changes affecting shots. Greens were country club condition, truest I’ve ever played. I played the blue tees and it was a crazy challenge, shot some of my best golf this year for an 80 and the courses consistency and the people who made the pace ideal. The clubhouse has a nice little bar and friendly staff, the putting green is pristine and great to practice on before a round. They have more stuff I didn’t even use. Drove down from Cleveland due to hearing good words, will be back again with friends was and incredible experience!

Course in very very good condition for the rain we have had

The course was in very very good condition. Even with the amount of rain we have had the greens were very fast and true. There was a Golf Now Am Tour event there this am and our 12:00 pm tee time was delayed until 12:30 pm. Then we were treated to a 5 1/2 hour round. Someone should have been out monitoring the event. 3 and 4 groups on a tee box waiting? 30 minute holes? 15 minutes looking for lost balls? If playing by the rules, looking is only for 3 minutes. I did not expect a 4 hour round behind an event, but 5 1/2 is never acceptable.

Loved it

My wife and I have played just about every course in NE Ohio and this one was one of the last we had not played. What a wonderful layout, great people, great conditions and we really enjoyed it. The course was hosting a large HS tourney but they fit us in perfectly. Will definitely come back again.

Always nice

Play here multiple times a year. A lot of rain the few days before which made the greens a little slower than normal. Nice layout and brand new carts with gps. Inside staff and starters very accommodating. And they have Keno inside the bar. Highly recommend

New Carts

Chippewa's new carts are the best I've ever rented. They're equipped with a tablet computer that gives you all the information you'll need to help a set up a good round. They also are fast, quiet and have the most comfortable seats and they include some great music selections!
