AKRON, Ohio — The largest predominantly Black golf club in the United States now has its official home.
Tiretown Golf Club and Tiretown Golf Charities can now call the 180-acre J.E. Good Park Golf Course its home course.
That marks a major milestone for the 72-year-old golf club that draws its 180 or so members from the Akron area and whose history includes playing at city-owned Good Park. It was one of only two golf courses in Northeast Ohio at the time of the club’s founding in 1950 where Black golfers could play. The other course at the time was Ridge Top Golf Course in Medina.
