Conveniently located half way between Akron and Cleveland, this nine-hole delight is perfect for those tight on time. Like its 18-hole sister course at Brandywine Country Club, the Par-3 course has that typical parkland-style feel to it, with slow-rolling hills and a simple layout — the perfect Midwestern atmosphere for golf. But unlike its sister course, a player can make quick work of this executive-length nine-hole round.

The Par-3 at Brandywine Country Club is perfect for those keen to work on their short- to mid-length shots. The consistent use of irons establishes a "grooved" swing, offering the player the perfect opportunity commit that grooved swing to memory for use in future rounds. And best of all, if you're in the middle of changing something up, you'll get to try it out before taking it out on a full round. Get out those irons and wedges, using Brandywine as the perfect opportunity to straighten out your shot.

New to golf? Have children you want to introduce to the game? The Par-3 at Brandywine suist these situations beautifully. While not overly difficult, this course has enough twists and turns to keep avid golfers interested while still remaining simple enough for beginners and youngsters to get a confidence boost.
