+ Chestnut Ridge Park is very nice park located in the Kenmore neighborhood of Akron. It features plenty of mature trees, stone structures, and a rolling hillside.

+ Despite most holes being under 200', designers Ben Rahe and Pat Jackson do a great job at making this a super fun place to play. Several greens are challenging but fair, with the stone structures and mature trees incorporated perfectly for a great track.

+ Not only is this a great place for beginners, but more experienced players could make it a nice putting/mid range practice course.

+ Akron has some shady areas, but this part of Kenmore isn't one of them. No graffiti or litter to be found.

+ Nice new Gravity baskets on every hole.

- This course was just opened up near the end of 2020, so it's still a work in progress. Most tees aren't marked, so you'll have to pull up the map on UDisc to find your way around.

- Tees (at the moment) are a mix of grass and existing concrete from the trails.

- I could see a few of the blind shots being a problem during busier times at the park. Those playing will have to keep an eye out, especially the stretch from #4 to #6.

Chestnut Ridge is a very enjoyable short course! It has a lot of replay value in my opinion despite the total length being just over 1,500 feet. Worth a play if you're in the area!
