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.

Overbooked

Last time we played they had a five some. We got a 7:11am tee time on Saturday to avoid that problem and the course had a group of eight who were late for their tee time. The desk said we would go off the back to avoid them. The starter put them on the back and said we would have to wait and play behind them. We were a twosome and it was open in front of the late foursomes, but the starter didn't offer to let us off before them even though they were late.

Beautiful well maintained course with terrible management skills. Put the almighty dollar in front of customer fairness.

Course continues to get better and better

First time this year playing Chippewa, love this course. From the back tees, several challenging holes, yet also some opportunities for birdies. Greens were quick but fair. Pro shop staff was extremely helpful and on-course personnel very friendly, as I played early in the morning.

Perfect Course

The course is in predestine condition. The bunkers were perfectly raked, the greens rolled smoothly, everything was just cut perfectly. The course has great parking and is located right off Highway 21. The starter and the entire staff were extremely nice and made me feel welcome even at 4:00 pm in the afternoon. My CHIP WINGS, which are their speciality, were perfect cooked and were amazing. The pace of play was great and the drive was worth it. Will definitely come back and let other people know what an awesome place this is in Doylestown, Ohio

A very long Sunday afternoon. After 4 1/2 hours, we quit after 14 holes. Waited for one or two groups at every tee. If I want a 6 hour round, I'll play Manikiki instead.

Nice course, hard and fast greens

This course had a good layout with the back nine having a lot of elevation change. The greens were very hard which made landing the ball close to the hole challenging but overall a great experience

Pace of play very slow. The starter gets every one off on time knowing that there will be a back up at the 2nd hole and you can't recover a good pace of play.

Nice course; slow play

Chippewa is a really nice course that we enjoy playing from time to time. But, on this day one of the first groups out was very slow...making play slow for all groups that followed. Course staff should have had a ranger to manage play!!

Keep it together through the Bermuda Triangle and you can score well here !!

Had a chance to play Chippewa Friday 4/1/16. Conditions for early April are to be expected especially for our rainy season. The course had no standing water and in overall pretty darn good shape for the time of year. I was very surprised by the conditions of the greens. Normally courses around here still have punch marks in them from fall aeration. These were in tremendous shape and the ball was rolling very nicely.

What I like about this course is the mix of both long and short holes and the par fives offer generous landing areas so you can unleash with the driver. Just enough sand to make approaches tricky and a decent amount of elevation change, especially on 14, 15 and 16 which most refer to as the Bermuda Triangle which are the #1, 3 and 5 handicap holes. This 3 hole stretch will test even the best golfers. I've often heard these 3 holes referred to as "circus golf" but I feel they are fair you just have to be on your game and hit two quality shots on each hole.

Worth the money

Fun layout. The front nine was much easier than the back. Greens were moderately paced and had a bit of undulation. Not the most scenic of courses, but tee to green it had nice grass and was fair. I played this before going out to see the Bridgestone Invitational. The two courses are quite close. It is a very wide open course like most in the area, but has a little more elevation change and teeth than the cookie cutter Ohio courses for $25 that are flat and have 20 foot high maples lining the fairways. Definitely worth a look.

Another off the Bucket List of NE Ohio couraes

Booked as a single - got there early - got off early-beautiful day but windy- course was in good shape-played from gold tees-very fair and enjoyed the fast greens. Would have finished in less than 3 1/2 hrs if not for the threesome that I caught up to on the back nine. Would not let me go thru. Still enjoyed the day. Would play again. Worth the 1 hr drive from the west side of CLE.

Honey-Hole

Let me just say, it's rare to find value in courses in this area! However that is not the case here! This was my third time here and I've meant to write this sooner! Soft fairways and greens, manicured bunkers and picturesque views! We booked on golf now and for the price you cannot beat this place, and I've played nearly all of the courses in Wayne and Medina counties! This is a must play course, but remember to bring your game cause you'll need it. ...!!!!!!! Challenging but super fun!!!!
