Lakeside/Meadows at Shaker Run Golf Club

Overall the layout of the original 18 (Lakeside/Woodlands) was very good, with some very interesting and challenging holes. Most holes are very fair, and while their is a few blind shots most of those are off the tee but not to the green. The 3rd hole on the Woodlands is difficult off the tee and you should drive out and take a look (big drop-off at 230 yds or so) before hitting. The finishing hole on both 9's are very good holes.

The course was pretty crowded and the pace of play was slow. The maintenance was ok, but could be better. The greens were a little hard and didn't hold very well, even with a ProV. Also, a wedding party walked out into the middle of the 18th fairway for pictures just as we were getting ready to tee off. A course employee came out and apparently told them to move. They walked off and then stood by the cart path, but still in possible range.

First time playing and had a great time. Got out early for Father's day and staff was friendly and helpful. Play was longer than expected, but overall a great find and I will definitely be back.

I have not played Shaker Run since the recent buyout but it remains one of the most challenging courses that remains public in this area. The rolling terrain and huge trees with the absence of any homesites make a round of golf most entertaining with this wonderful layout that is set on 250+ acres.

Everything was great except we were rushed off the back nine due to an outting. Overall we were pleased with the course.

I have always been a huge fan of this course and it used to be a banner day when I got to play Shaker Run. Now, the conditions of tee boxes, greens, and bunkers were disappointing to say the least. The greens were the worsth I have ever seen them. Furthermore, how can not have water coolers ANYWHERE on a 27 hole course on a 90 degree day? That alone shows the lack of attention to detail here.
Staff was very friendly, unfortunately you don't play the round in the pro shop.

I had an early tee time to beat the heat and there was a free breakfast buffet. The staff was ready to serve at 6:30am and the range was open for warm up. As for the course the rough was long which made it hard when you miss the fairway. The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape and all but 1 green were in good shape.

You can definitely tell the difference with the new ownership. The staff was very friendly and seemed genuinely happy that we were there. Meadows still needs some work, but, is definitely in better shape.

We will definitely come back throughout the year to see how things are progressing with the new ownership.

Pace of play was horrible....we had to switch to an alternate 9 just to get done in less than 6 hours.....won't return....l

The course was offering a special of 18 holes for around $35 which included a hot dog, chips and drink. I had heard that the course had declined from it's past condition, but it looks as if it's on the way back. Greens need some work and the bunkers need maintained. I hope the management gets the course back to it's past shape!

We had a great time, the course was in good shape. The course was mowed so that only a way off line shot was lost. The pace of play was way good for a Saturday. And pricing for my round was equal to other local courses I play moving it up on my frequency list.

I've played this course many times but I think this was my last. The course is great but we had an issue with a grounds crew member. A verbal dispute is one thing but being threatened with a shovel is another. The management said they would take care of the issue but I don't think anything was or will be done about it.

I enjoy to play the course a couple times a year. Each hole has it's own unique difficulty factor. The pace of play seemed fine. We never seemed to wait to hit our shots and we never were pressed by the group behind. The best part of the course is that on the original 18, thare are no houses or roads, just out playing out in nature.

Holes 4 and 5 are truly remarkable. If you are not the best golfer big a new box of balls because you may neef them all. I think it may be the best 9 holes in ohio

The greens were not aerated until 5/19 due to a big tournament but that means that by 5/31 they were still relatively unplayable. Wondered if they sanded the greens after pulling big plugs, but heard from other players that the greens have been "so-so" the past couple of years. Too bad, the routing and variety of holes is an Arthur Hills gem. Rest of course was in pretty good condition.

excellent fairways ,good greens 5 tee locations, make it good for all tupe golfers

I love this layout but the greens are absolutely horrible, I know the new ownership is making improvements but they are charging $65 per round at peak times and IMO its a ripoff.

Great layout, at least Lakeside and Woodlands. Played there back in middle of May, the greens was in bad shape. If they improve on the greens this would have been my favorite course in the area.

Tees and greens were awful. Fairways were decent. spend some mone $$$$ especially on the greens. Major poa annua grass on tee box and greens.

Cart path only was a bummer but it was a little soggy. Overall, we had a great time.

Great use of lakes without being the type of course that you are putting balls into the drink all day. The greens were a little rough but I will give them a pass and assume it is still early in the season. I would say give it a play if you get the chance.
