Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links, Akron OH

The course is great. But, they scheduled an 11 am shotgun round for this weekend and said no reservations were required. So, we showed up at 10am to check in and they asked if we had a reservation. So we didn’t get to play and then all other local courses were already booked solid because they, like any reasonable course does, book tee times.

Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links holds a special place in my golfing heart, mainly because of its proximity to my home and the summer leagues I enter. In my recent rounds in 2023, I must say the course has never looked better. The fairways are in impeccable condition, and the putting greens are not only beautiful but also impeccably maintained. As of the end of December, the course unveiled new golf carts, minus GPS, yet remarkably comfortable.

One distinctive feature of Turkeyfoot, setting it apart from many Northeast Ohio courses, is its resilience against flooding. The course efficiently absorbs rainwater like a sponge, ensuring rare instances of puddles on the fairways. I wouldn't label Turkeyfoot as a challenging course; rather, it leans towards the easier side. As a 15-handicap player, I've found my comfort zone and know the strategic safe spots to aim for to secure those pars.

Rumors are circulating that the water 9 might not be part of the course in 2024, as it's supposedly been sold. However, conflicting stories suggest it might remain open until construction begins. Keep that information in mind with a grain of salt, as details may evolve.

The course is typically in good shape. The greens are fast and still receptive. Not sure if the tee times are packed together or what, but it always seems like, even with a foursome, we are waiting on every hole for the groups in front of us to play. Not to any fault of the groups in front, it just seems like every group is waiting on every hole. Great course to play if you aren't in a hurry!

I’m a relative newbie to golf, but this course was in incredible condition. The greens and fairways were near perfect conditions and almost look artificial. It’s a challenging course, but if you have some patience, a ton of fun.

The upkeep of this golf course is 5 star ️. Loved the layout. Polite Clubhouse staff. Starter was cool & got me going before my tee time. The only bad I experienced was a slow group in front of me.

Great course, in wonderful shape. Some of the best greens in Northeast Ohio.

Greens were darn near summertime good! Best winter course in the area period!
