Chippewa Golf Club
About
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.

Always Excellent
Course as always was in excellent condition. Staff was very friendly. Starter even sent us out before the group in front of us since we ere ready and they were still trying to get checked in. Regardless of your drive, this course is worth the trip.
Course was in great shape
The course was in great shape. The fairways were nice the greens were excellent and the weather was beautiful!
Great course - great value
This is fast becoming my wife's and mine favorite course. The 3 challenging holes
(14-15-16 ) are very demanding, but the course is in fantastic condition and a pleasure to play.
A return visit is in my future
Starter was super friendly. For the most part the course is in front of you. Double line irrigation means the rough was also quite lush for this time of the year. Well water means they are always watering, as I saw them syringing greens throughout the day. The greens appeared thin but held approach shots and rolled very smoothly. Bunkers were well raked and manicured. We had to wait on nearly every shot but finished in under 4 hours. I really wish that I had not waited so long to play Chippewa GC
THIS IS A MUST PLAY
this course is absolutely phenomenal!!! this was my first time playing and I fell in love! excellent conditions, layout, and maintenance. It is essential to gain your strokes before the "Bermuda Triangle!" The 14, 15, and 16th holes will chew you up and spit you out!! playing these three holes in 3 over par is more than acceptable. If you are within two hours of this course, you need to male a point to play here!!
Nice, but nothing special
Well maintained, but overall a boring course. Not much character except for a few holes.
Stunning course
This course blew me away. I was stunned at the condition to be honest. The tee boxes were properly mowed! The fairways were lush, and the greens were perfect. The course layout is really great. Nice elevation changes with rolling hills make you rethink shots to hit and really gives the course a nice challenge. My only gripe is that we played behind an outing which made the round close to 6 hours. Granted, that was no ones fault other than the outing for slow play. I would recommend Chippewa to anyone just for the course conditions.
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.
Great course
Great layout in very good condition
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.
Thank you for your 5 Star review! We are pleased to hear how much you enjoy our course. Hope to see you again soon!
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
Thank you for your 5 Star review! We are happy to hear that you had a great day with us. Thank you for your recommendation and we are looking forward to having you back!
Overbooked
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.
Hey "joehill52" we apologize for the pace of play. Unfortunately, the course gets busy this time of year and one or two slow groups can cause issues for everybody. We appreciate you coming out and hope to see you again soon.
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
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our course layout here at Chippewa Golf Club. Come back and see us again soon!
Great Course
Course was in excellent condition. I play a different course each week and this was in great shape. Such a fun course to play, excellent condition, excellent greens. Definitely coming back.
Thanks for playing Chippewa golf club! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your round here at Chippewa Golf Club and look forward to having you back again soon.
Nice track.
I have played this golf course for many years. It is always mowed up very nice. Great layout. The only downfall of this course is the greens are very bumpy and slower than years past.
Hey "kdog1984" we appreciate your loyalty and hope to see you out here a lot this season!
Ed Gall
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.
Hey "dadnjo" we apologize that the pace of play was not up to your standards. We do appreciate you coming out and taking the time to leave your feedback and hope to see you again soon!
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!!
Hey "richardbg2" we appreciate the feedback. At Chippewa, we always encourage our slower players to let faster groups play though. We apologize that this happened to you but we hope to see you again soon!
Greens kind of rough but coming. Fairways are good.
14 through 16 are a challenge.
Hey "bitterroot" thank you for the positive review. We are looking forward to a great season and hope to see you again soon.
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.
Hey "erock717" thank you so much for the 5* review! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the layout of the course as well as the condition of the greens. See you again soon!
Hey "TerryLong" thank you so much for the 5* review! We are glad you enjoyed the back 9! Come see us again soon.
