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.

A shot makers course with some tough green undulations.

I enjoyed playing the course, it is a challenging course from the back tees at 6700+ and especially 14,15,16. The staff was friendly and the conditions were good. I look forward to my next trip there.

Very easy to access from Hwy route 21

Considering the difficult spring weather for northeast Ohio grasses the course was in very good condition.

Probably one of the best courses in Ohio

This course is probably the toughest course in Summit county. Beside losing three balls to water hazards, I found 6 to make up for it. The last 4 holes are the hardest and most challenging especially the 15th. This course makes you think before you hit. The greens were the fastest that I have encountered in the last 5 courses I have played. The whole course is immaculately kept. I play this course at least once a month just to stay humble and appreciate other courses that are not so hard. Still I broke 90 on this course so I am happy golfer.

One of my favorite courses

For this time of year the course is in great shape. It always drains well and when the weather allows the staff to get the course into prime condition you would be hard pressed to find better fairways and faster greens then on any priemium course.

This is one of the best courses in NE Ohio...especially for it being a public course.

Chippewa is one of the most challenging courses you'll ever play. The triangle (14-16) poses the most difficult greens I've ever seen. If you can par them, you should consider them birdies.

Truly one of the best maintained and challenging courses in the area. The Bermuda triangle of holes is as tough as advertised. Can't just hit and hope shots here. Placement is key and therefore contributes to mental side of game. Super friendly staff here as well.

Well worth a visit

This course was very fun to play, although we played in mid October and some leaves and work was going on the conditions were very good. I highly recommend this course to players of all types.

Best conditioned public course easily this year in Metro Cleveland, OH

Better than country club course condition throughout greens and fairways. Greens are nice and smooth and fast, and the fairways are in supper condition considering this summer's drought. They are easily better than many greens of the area course.

Layout is interesting and challenging; greens are never a easy 2-putt. Course is fairly open, so good for any level of skills and good for group outings.

The club house is a little sub-par comparing with the course, but the people there are very friendly and helpful as I hosted a group outing there. The course rating for all tees are certainly miss-leading, they should be much more difficult. I was told they've not got an official rating done after some major change overs.

Overall, a great public course which I'd rate the 1st in the greater Cleveland area.

Consistently in good condition

I have played this course a number of times at different times of the year. It is always in good shape and the greens are consistently well maintained. Sometimes the pace of play has been rather slow and I have never seen a ranger keeping people on pace. Nontheless, it is a very good course for the price and well worth the trip.

Great Course

.A tail of two nines, the course is always in great shape. The course is opened all year and has great drainage, dry even when you think there's no way we can play today. Give it a try, the layout is challenging and well worth the greeen fee
