Chippewa Golf Club

If I had written this review after the first nine holes, I probably would have given 3 stars and considered this course just above average. Not bad at all, but nothing that stands out. But, then the back nine... what a fun nine! The front was short and tight through the trees, and required a lot of target shots off the tee and working a draw or fade around doglegs. Definitely a fun nine, and will lose you some golf balls if you're not precise off the tee. The back nine is a little more wide open and longer, with lots of elevation changes. That length will be more pronounced with a number of uphill approach shots. Lots of carries over water on approaches as well. Greens rolled true, maybe a little slower than one would like but that is only to be expected this time of the year. It was nearly impossible for me to read most putts, the subtle breaks are very difficult to distinguish without some "local knowledge". If it is your first time playing, don't be surprised when a few putts break the exact opposite direction you were expecting. All-in-all, a fun course that I would recommend to anyone to check out. Well maintained (especially for the time of the year), courteous and friendly staff, and a great bargain from GolfNow when it is a hot deal.

Front 9 way easier than back 9!
Greens are a challenge, lots of sand and water!
Pretty course with many slopes and drops and elevated greens and tee boxes. Had a great time!

Chose this course due to a great deal on Golf Now and equally because they were one of the few area courses not to have their greens aerated. Last four rounds played elsewhere in the area were all courses with punched / top dressed greens which while we know is necessary, it certainly detracts from the value and fun received. On this day, Chippewa's greens were as fast and challenging as any we've played all season -- and that includes a whole bunch of courses. Enjoy playing their "Bermuda Triangle" (14-15-16) and see if you can manage to emerge unscathed. My playing partner (a repeat player of this course) scored a PAR on 14 and admitted it was the first tiime ever he had accomplished that. Nice people, decent bar and food and a good pro-shop available.

As always, course was in great shape, and staff is always very friendly. This is definitely one of the best courses in the area.

Akron Chippewa is a very nice public course the staff was awesome and the course looks great. We played on a Saturday so slow golf unfortunately it was do to the people that we were paired with. the course overall is not very long but has very challenging blind tee shots and elevated greens. overall I gave it 4 out of 5 because the greens we're very hard and damaged in certain areas due to the amount of play.

My day at Chippewa was soured by very slow play. I think they cram their tee times together a little too tightly. There were 3 groups sitting, waiting to tee off on #4. The back nine was very pretty and challenging. Massive greens here and average condition. I would not drive from far away to play here though.

Fun course with many different styles. Very well maintained.

Had a great round, enjoyed the other twosome we played with, getting food at the turn was hard, only one lady working counter, others at counter were standing around. Not paying attention. They lost out on our money.

Great course..Older clubhouse that smells of good food. Very quiet, non residential, with wonderful views..lots of "TRICKY" challenging holes that really try your placement skills. Love the course, an hour from my house, but we will return. Excellent value. Considering the parking lot was FULL, we breezed through 18 with little or no wait. Timing was perfect. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great golf!

Chippewa is one of my favorite courses in the Akron area.The front is much easier than the back so score while you can before getting to the back nine especially 14,15 and 16.I think 15 is the hardest of the Triangle holes with 14 a close second and 16 is not that difficult as long as you stay below the pin.Pace of play is usually pretty fast although this particular round was slower than normal but only because they let a couple 5-somes out .I am not sure why they allow that but it has happened several times to our group mostly on weekday mornings.

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.

I felt as if I were in Ireland. Beautiful rolling hills, and very tough greens. For the most part, getting to the greens is relatively simple, its what you do when you get there that separates good scores from poor ones. These greens are large, and if you are a long way from the hole, 4-putts are not out of the question

I love this course but pace of play was painfully slow

Loved the course. Very picturesque and in incredible shape, but with one huge flaw. The scorecards had no course layout and most tee blocks were not marked with hole number and hole layout. It was very confusing getting to the next block. Otherwise, the course was great shape with a lot of challenge on the back 9. I'll most definitely play here again.

Have to get on pace of play took 5 hr 15 min its kiling the game of golf

Great value booking tee time through Golf.Now! Chippewa GC is a very good & challenging course, but the pace of play was way too slow! The front nine pace of play was acceptable, but the back nine pace of play was terrible! A 4-3/4 to 5 hour round any time is way too slow, but especially on a weekday, with no
leagues being a factor!

Played in foursome . We did not have to wait anytime during the round. Considering amount of rain we have had course was in great shape. Only rcommendation I have is for an express line at turn for food so groups making turn can keep overall pace of play moving. We waited a good ten minues for beverages although food was good.

one green fast, one slow, one average,.....no consistency and the 14,15,16 triangle of holes is still brutal, makes golfing for fun impossible.

Chippewa is a fun course because although it is difficult, it is still a very enjoyable course with some very unique and exciting holes.

This course can play very long from any tee box, for any skill level player. It has many elevated fairways and greens over valleys and lakes. Greens could be very tough with pin placement, on the many ungulated and steep slopes, this course will humble your handicap. That said, this course is in great shape and nicely mowed.
