The Firestone CC is on the south side of Akron off I-77 at Arlington Road to the north and is available for public play through a stay and play program.

The club is a classic tournament venue for a variety of PGA tournaments over the years including Senior Players Championship, NEC World Series of Golf, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, PGA Championship, American Golf Classic, and the Rubber City Open Invitational.

With the exception of the Fazio layout which features a more open, links design, the courses are classic parkland designs over rolling, forested terrain with a generous amount of sand bunkering, and a variety of streams and ponds mostly on the North course.
