Portage Country Club

Overview: Portage Country Club is a classic Akron parkland course by William B. Langford. Its 18-hole routing is compact by modern championship standards, playing to par 70 and 6,314 yards from the longest published set of tees. Mature trees, shaped fairways and traditional green sites give the course the measured feel associated with Langford’s early work.

History: The Portage course was established in 1918, when Langford laid out the golf course for the club. Portage’s own history and golf pages preserve the Langford connection, while the current scorecard confirms the present par and championship yardage. The course remains a private club layout with its historic parkland character intact.

Did You Know? Portage’s scorecard is a reminder that a strong course does not need modern championship length. At 6,314 yards and par 70, the layout asks for accurate positioning and disciplined approaches rather than simply testing driving distance.
