Slope 122
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

3 trick holes

Always in good to great condition. This time tee boxes were a mess and we had 2 FIVESOMES in front of us on a holiday. Shame on them for that. Three holes on the back are tricked up to much for club selection.

Jack Rabbit

I was the first off and played in just over two hours.
Only had to stop a couple of times for the greens to be mowed. The grounds keeper waved me on the ninth hole and talked to me for awhile and was a great guy! It was worth the 60 mile round trip.
