Roses Run Country Club

Roses Run Country Club sits in Stow, a suburban community in Summit County between Akron and Kent in northeastern Ohio. The course was designed by Brian Huntley, a regional architect who has worked on several layouts in Ohio and neighboring states. The property occupies gently rolling terrain typical of the glaciated landscape in this part of the state, with mature tree corridors framing fairways and modest elevation changes that add visual interest without creating severe playing angles. The routing moves through a mix of wooded and open areas, with water features appearing on several holes. The design reflects a traditional parkland character common to mid-twentieth-century private clubs in the region, offering members a straightforward test of golf that rewards accuracy and course management over raw distance. Greens are moderately contoured, and bunker placement tends to guard approaches and greenside areas in conventional fashion. Roses Run functions as a family-oriented country club, providing a social and recreational hub for its membership. The club supports a range of activities beyond golf, including dining facilities and member events that anchor the community calendar. The course itself serves as a venue for club championships and local amateur competitions, maintaining a role in the area's golf culture without seeking national attention. It represents the kind of solid, member-focused facility that forms the backbone of private club golf in smaller American cities.
