Lakeside/Meadows at Shaker Run Golf Club

I really enjoyed the round, played the Black Tees at 6500+ yards. The course is in great shape - the greens rolled really nice and smooth. They were fast but not crazy. All the greens were very consistent. This was my first time to play here but I will definitely come back. A quality layout that you need to think about positon for the next shot before hitting (especially for anyone who hasn't played here before). Excellent day.

Also - there is a really good range: level grass hitting area with quality turf and good balls.

Greens and fairways in excellent condition. Shaker has cut down many dead trees and improved the look of many holes.

The course was in decent shape and it looks like they are in the process of making some needed updates to the course. They did not have any water coolers on the back 9.

The insects (flies) were pretty distracting at times.

Bunkers need some attention.

Overall the course is beautiful but it needs bunkers repaired on Meadows Course. It seems that you end up playing that course due to outings taking place. Also Woodlands and Lakeside courses bunkers so called sand is dirt with rocks. To claim to have the most challenging golf course that being Woodlands it is due to the fact thebunkers are not kept in shape. When you play plan on waiting for members being catered too.

This course is in great conditions !! Tee to great was awesome! Greens rolled true and were a good speed and fairly consistent overall. A few holes were tricky I.e. Not knowing where exactly to hit the ball- I like 150 sticks in middle of fairway but most of them were straight away and fair.

For a course with 3 nines they sure don't have much imagination on how to use them to get everyone spread out. tee time was 8:03 but teed off at 8:20. At times had 4 foursomes on the same hole course was in great shape!

Shaker Run is a solid golf course. Fun to play. A couple of very memorable holes like the last hole on both Valley View and Woodlands. All four par threes are challenging. The greens and fairways are in great shape. The 19th hole is lacking and the staff was below average.

Shaker is in good shape these days --- tees, fairways, rough all good! Greens very good and quick. Get out there & play it in these conditions.

My wife and I were happy to go play Shaker Run. The reputation for a nice course was correct, but the rest was very disappointing. The people inside the clubhouse were more interested in talking the regulars who walked in behind us, then talking with us. We booked online for 18 holes and a cart and a 4:27p tee time. I knew it would be close getting in 18 at that time of night, but never anticipated leaving the course around 7p and still not having completed the front 9. There was a league in front of us and we had to wait over 5 minutes on every shot. Had I just been charged 9 holes and told there was a league in front of me, I wouldn't have been upset. So despite the gorgeous weather and beautiful course, we left after playing 7 holes (yes, 2.5 hours to play 7 holes). I understand it being a weeknight and league night, and I understand courses don't care much about Golfnow players because of the discounted rates. However, it was very disappointing to say the least.

One of the best layouts you'll ever play. The course isn't what it use to be as far as course condition but is still a great place to play.

Played this course after 3 days of heavy rain and it was 'cart path only'. Was still in great shape. Lots of interesting holes. Will definitely play again and again.

They are currently remodeling the clubhouse but the bar/restaurant is open.

They have three 9 holes and we played all 3.

Great day!

I love the layout of the course but I wish it was in better shape. Tee boxes had weeds and weren't groomed well. Greens were just okay

There is no drinking water on the course and no cart ladies.

Pace of play was terrible too. 4 hours 45 minutes for a Friday afternoon.

Apparently a victim of the economy, this once spectacular course is suffering a bit from lack of care. ($$). That said, the layout is as fine as you are likely to see in southern Ohio, and that makes it a pleasure to play. I would not hesitate to recommend it, even if it is not immaculate. (Few courses are.) It certainly doesn't disappoint.

If you are looking for a course that challenges both with water and trees this course is for you. I had played this course several years ago and had heard it was closing so when I visited OHIO recently I went to play. Good news is they told me they are not closing. This is great as the course is well laid out, the people are friendly and for now, the fees are very reasonable.
