Layout / Design = 4/5
Rick Todd's design keeps things simple and balanced, with generous fairways, mild doglegs, and a blend of wooded and open holes that prioritize positioning over power.

The front nine eases through residential edges with reachable par-5s, while the back adds a bit more variety with water on select par-4s. It's not full of drama, but the flow is smooth and forgiving, ideal for team formats where multiple shots get considered.

Scramble groups will like the room for recovery, though it lacks bold risk-reward moments.
Condition = 4/5
Chenoweth holds steady with good turf quality—greens are receptive with average speed, fairways stay firm and green, and bunkers get regular care.

The bentgrass setup weathers Ohio's variable weather well, with solid coverage and few bare patches. Rough is navigable, though shaded spots can hold moisture after rain.

Different golf reviewers note the "consistent" presentation, making it dependable for casual or group play.
Value = 4/5
With rates at $40 weekdays and $40 to $59 weekends (cart included), Chenoweth offers reasonable play for the location and shape.

It's not the cheapest in Akron-Summit County (e.g., vs. $25 munis), but the convenience and reliability justify it.

Rounds clock in at 4–4.5 hours on this mostly level, walkable course—fairways allow relaxed swings for scrambles, but trees and bunkers add light pressure.
