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.

Bill from Akron

Chippewa is a great track. The greens are pristine and the layout is challenging but enjoyable. The devils triangle is a unique test of course management and skill. The staff is friendly and supportive. I truly appreciate and enjoy playing this course and strongly recommend it.

Good memories

This was my home course in high school and I haven't played it for probably ten years. Everything was in tip top shape today as it was then. Shooting 78 didn't hurt either! Greens ran true and course played well even with a pretty strong wind on some holes (especially in the Bermuda Triangle).

Poor pace of play

I've golfed this course in the afternoon twice now and pace of play was terrible. 5 hour plus round is just too long. Course staff needs to enforce a reasonable pace of play.

I like the course, and morning tee times are not an issue. But pace of play in the afternoon definitely needs improvement.

First Time Playing

Very nice playing!

Greens were very erratic on speed from hole to hole. Improvement would be conistency. Overall it was a beautiful course! Fairways are a well taken care of. This course is a very advanced course layout! But if you play it properly, you'll do very well. Only negative ☆ would be the towers going right through the course. Had a great time!

Good layout with a few very hard holes

I have been playing Chippewa for many years. It is almost like two courses. The front nine is fairly straightforward and conducive to good scoring. The back nine has a number of holes where a bogey is a good score. The greens on the Bermuda Triangle holes (14-15) are so steep that the pins are always in the back portion of the green. Any location towards the front would be too difficult to putt. No 14 is the hardest since shorter hitters have difficulty carrying the pond below the green given a downhill lie on the fairway, and there is virtually no layup spot. That said it makes a bogey satisfying.

Beautiful and challaging.

We played this course when it was suppose to go up to 45 degrees. Never made it. Greens were frozen and did the course in 3 hours. Rest of the year the course is fantastic especially the Bermuda Triangle. Patience and determination to score good.

Challenging course

Course is always in decent shape. Greens are very difficult to hold. 14 & 16 greens are very unfair and almost unputtable. Layout of course in my opinion is inferior. Hard to find a good fairway lie on most holes.

One of N. Ohio's Best

Our group plays Chipp about 5 times a year and it never gets old. We always track our scores on the triangle to see who gets through it the best. Chippewa has the best drainage around and it's usually playable when other courses are soaked. Snack bar is top notch, as well.

Nice Track

This is a nice local course always in nice condition. The triangle on the back nine is always challenging. If you have the game, play from the tips. The views are really nice as most of those tees are from higher elevation in several locations. I have played it at least 20 times over the last 5 years. Never disappointed.
