J. Edward Good Park Golf Course, widely known locally as Good Park or 'The Park', is an 18-hole public course in West Akron, Ohio. Bertie Wey completed the design in 1924 and the course opened in 1925.
It occupies approximately 180 acres and is characterised by mature tree-lined fairways, multiple doglegs, well-positioned bunkers and relatively subtle elevation changes. The Blue tees measure 6,683 yards at par 71 and are rated 72.3/126; White measures 6,288 yards at 70.5/122 and Gold 5,704 yards at 68.1/116. The layout is municipal/public golf and remains walkable, with short transitions between many greens and tees.
The course is an 18-hole golf course. It plays to par 71, 6,683 yards, course rating 72.3 and slope rating 126. Designed by Bertie Wey, the course originally opened in 1925. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Restaurant, Bar.
Bertie Wey designed the course in 1924. Northern Ohio Golf Association reporting on the centenary establishes that Good Park opened in 1925, clarifying why both 1924 and 1925 appear in historical records.
Wey's routing uses tree-lined corridors, doglegs and bunkering to reward accuracy. The course is not dependent on extreme length and remains readily walkable.
The club reports a four-star Public Courses rating from Golf Digest and has a longstanding role in Akron-area tournament golf.
Good Park remains an 18-hole public course serving Akron and surrounding communities, with a pro shop and Edgar's Bar and Restaurant.
