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.

Great course
Overall, I am in love with this course. Great conditions every time I play here, even with all of the recent rain. Staff is extremely friendly and even when i was running late for my tee time they managed to cater to me and still get me off before a huge rush! My only problem with the course is the greens. I absolutely love how firm and fast they are when putting as I prefer fast greens. But the receptiveness of the greens on approach shots is a bit different. I have played on many a courses with fast greens and yet they were receptive to wedge and approach shots from 150 and in. For some reason chip is not but either way it just adds to the difficulty of this beautiful course! I still love it and would recommend it to anyone!
Excellent
Excellent and forgiving would play there again and. Recommend to others!!'
Thanks for the review and we are thrilled that you would recommend us to others. We apologize that the food at the turn wasn't as speedy as you had hoped but would like to thank you for commenting to clarify why you gave us a poor mark. Hope to see you again soon!
I did not mean the food was bad. I just would have had to wait 15 minutes at the turn because the chicken was frozen. I understand student safety first!
Great shape
The course was in good shape. Greens were quick and fairways were great as well. Nice tee boxes as well. Need a new cart path.
We're glad you found the course in excellent shape as we strive to keep the course in the best shape possible. Thanks for the review and feedback on the cart paths. Come back and see us soon!
Great day at Chippewa
Played in a foursome on a Wednesday morning and got around in four hours. Course was in its usual excellent shape. I'll look forward to playing again this year.
Thanks for taking the time to fill out a review and thanks for the kind words. Your tip is a good one as we have some pretty undulating greens! See you soon.
Dont waste your money
I played there on Memorial Day with the full understanding that pace of play wouldn't be 3.5 hours for 18 holes. But the fact that we played 13 holes and had already been out there for nearly 7hours is disgraceful. And they didn't have ONE ranger attempting to speed up play....just some lazy guy on the first tee punching peoples receipts. The course is rock hard. But at least I had to wait 15mins for some girl to cook my frozen burger with no toppings....that ended up being completely raw when i bit into it. On a positive note, this place was expensive. :/ Never again will I play at this poorly run dog track
This course is phenomenal
I have never given a review to any course. This course is my new all time favorite. Comparable to a windmill lakes as far as how well kept it is.
Beautiful scenery, fast greens, very enjoyable course.
We are so glad that you enjoyed yourself enough that you came here to GolfAdvisor to share your enjoyment.
We found your review a lot like you found our course... Phenomenal!
Hope to see you again soon.
Awsome
Very enjoyable round overall. With Tee time of 8 a.m. the fairways and greens were all ready to go as we got to them. Good job.
Thomas, we appreciate the kind words and thank you for taking the time to give us a review.
We'll take "AWESOME" every day of the week!
See you again soon.
Need a ranger or two
I love Chippewa but the pace of play was deplorable. We had to quit after 15 holes. We were already out there 4.5 hours. We teed off late morning. There was a five-some out about 5 to 6 groups ahead that was lagging severely. Nobody from the course was out during a ranger job. Not interested in Chippewa if this is going to continue.
We are very sorry that the pace of play was poor during your last visit. We would like to connect with you and hear more about your round... please send us an email at Chippewagolfclub@gmail.com.
We greatly appreciate your feedback.
Always in top notch shape
Greens are always rolling smooth and fast, course is always in great shape and employees are very accommodating! Always consistent
Thank you for the kind words and we hope to see you soon!
Greens had issues
Most of the greens are in bad shape, they are burned out or diseased, and covered with sand and seed. Still playable.
The winter was a bit rough on the greens this year, but they will be back to their normal selves in no time. Thanks for playing and taking the time to review our course!
Chippewa
This course is was in very good shape but not quite the prestine condition we are used to. There were a couple of greens that were not what you expect at Chippewa.
Horribly slow, but good course
Paid for 18, but stopped after nine. Play was painfully slow, topping 3 hours for 9. Didnt even bother with the back 9. Course was in good condition, and was fun to play. Would definitely come back when it wasn't as crowded. Greens were below average condition. Greens were beat up, extremely hard and very fast. Pin placements were VERY poor, and slowed down pace. Management should know better. Great value for the money, but I will not be back on the weekend.
chippewa
Although early in the season I have played this course many times and always in excellent shape with very fast and well kept greens. Nice play.
A great Veterans Day Off
Probably last round of the season. Luckily we have a great weather day for mid November. A bit windy but not bad. Course was in pretty good shape even though they had aerated the greens and fairways recently.
Leaves, leaves, leaves, and windy
Chippewa greens were in great shape and have not been aerated yet. Only problem was it was windy and covered some of the greens with leaves. Otherwise this course was in great shape. Tough back nine with the " Triangle".
Bermuda Triangle holes " 14,15 and 16 "
These three holes are most challenging ..driving,approach and putting.
Blue pin adds to challenge. Specially when the greens are fast as they were
Surprised that the conditions were so good!!!
Course in excellent condition on dreary and rainy fall day.............only a dozen or so cars in parking lot. VERY FEW PROBLEMS FINDING BALLS OFF FAIRWAYS AS THE LEAVES WERE WELL TAKEN CARE OF!!! Great Job......................
Always in Great Shape!
Chippewa is always in great shape. Play the tips and you really have a challenge on your hands, especially with the wind.
Try the Chippewa Wings after your golf day, they're great!
Would like to see some work done on leveling out the blue tee boxes and white tee boxes where needed, other than that, great staff and great place to play golf.
Great course.
The course is is great shape. Greens were excellent. Pace of play was good and the staff was friendly, especially Tyler. One of the best courses in the area.
Watch the pace of play
I've played this course many times in the past, but this was the 1st time booking with GolfNow. The only complaint I have (but it's a big one) is the pace of play and lack of caring from the starter. I was supposed to have been paired up with someone else (since I was a single), but the starter did not attempt to find that pair. There were other twosomes that teed off again and again. I had to wait for 2 groups to tee off on every hole. Hard to get in any rhythm that way.
First and foremost, thank you for the kind words. We are thrilled that you are "in love with" our course - We feel the same way!
We appreciate the feedback on the greens and as you say they are in great shape, just a bit firm. Come on back soon!
