Meadows/Woodlands at Shaker Run Golf Club
About
Shaker Run Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship golf. 18 holes were designed by Arthur Hills while the remaining nine came from the design team of Michael Hurzdan and Dana Fry. The holes are divided into three nines that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. All of the nines have different characteristics but they share a rolling landscape that is unusual for a golf course in Ohio. The Meadows nine is considered to be the gentlest of the three nines since it doesn't have the trees and water that the other two do, but it still provides a good challenge. The golf course has a memorable finishing hole with out-of-bounds along the entire right side leading to the double-tiered green.

Golfer Reviews
Course need tp be improved
I have played the course several times before and getting better compare to last year but still need to be impoved. No bunker has been maintenanced and lack of leveler of bunker. A lot of leaves remained on the fairway. I need value to pay over 50$.
Great golf- challenging
We played Shaker Run Woodlands to Meadows. I had never played the Meadows before. I really enjoyed the course. I found it to be challenging golf consistent with the remainder of Shaker Run. Some of the holes require positioning to avoid large scores. We enjoyed and we will definitely be back to play again, also felt like it was good value. Don Snider
Hi Don, thank you for enjoying your round of golf at Shaker Run. We are so happy you found our course challenging and enjoyable and we are looking forward to seeing you back for more!
So sad...
I remember when Anthony Kim and Michelle Wie played at Shaker, the course was top notch clean. I did not make it out last year due to rumors of its demise. Unfortunately the rumors are true. Fields of dandelions now play a large part of the layout surrounding the fairways. Clumps of grass from the fairway mowers littered the fairways. The greens... the greens. It's as if there are 2 types of grass growing, each possessing is own speed. On a positive note, the bunkers appeared to have fresh sand in them. I paid $41 on golfnow.com and I feel there are plenty of $25-$30 deals on nicer courses. I hope mgmt sees this and makes appropriate changes as this was once known as a premier course for my area.
Thanks for bringing the conditions to our attention. We have the maintenance crews and our staff working on these course conditions as we speak. We appreciate you coming out to play and hope to see you on your next round. We are going to have Shaker Run in tip-top shape for you!
Not the Shaker of old.......
Course was in fair shape, greens were a bit lumpy, they are removing many treees, opening up the course a bit.
Hi there thanks for taking the time to review Shaker Run, we are working on our conditions and we hope to see you back soon to enjoy your next round!
Shaker Run
The course was great as always. Played on a Saturday afternoon and there was no cart person on the course. Stopped in the club house at the turn and the lady working the bar area was rude. Seemed like everything you asked for they didn't have and what was available seemed like you were being a bother to her. Credit card machine was not working either. Had to go to proshop to pay.
Hi thank you for taking the time to review Shaker Run Golf Club! We are glad you came out to play and enjoyed the course and the conditions out here. We do apologize the service was not as expected. We have informed our staff but we hope you come out for another round soon! See you at Shaker Run!
Meadows/ lakeside courses
The appearances around the clubhouse are poor. parking lot needs repaving, and the grass was full of dandelions, in general a poor first impression.
Our golf cart was dirty, one cup holder had bird droppings in it, also both of the sand bottles were almost empty.
The meadows course traps were so bad, we could not play out of them. The fairways and greens were in good shape. I would not be willing to play this again.
The Lakeside course was in better shape relative to the traps, however there is still a lot of wood laying around from the cutting down of diseased oak trees. the loss of these trees has diminished the once beautiful course.
Would have little inclination to return to this course

Challenging Track
course wasn't in the best shape really wet. Had to remain on cart path which made play really slow. But overall I would recommend this course to everyone
Hi Jerry, we are so glad you had a challenging and interesting experience at Shaker Run Golf Club. Unfortunately it was a little wet on your date of play but we have dry conditions and good weather ahead! Come back and see us soon.
Shaker
Course was to ourselves and in great condition. Looking forward for the next round.
Hi there, so glad you enjoyed your round at Shaker Run Golf Club! It's nice to have a little elbow room on the course. Come back to see us soon before summer season. We look forward to seeing you on your next round.
Going Downhill!
Used to be one of my favorite places to visit and play, but it has really gone downhill. Proshop is almost devoid of merchandise, restaurant/bar is closed, and the course is in overall lousy condition compared with prior years. Bunkers look like they had not had any attention in weeks, greens were mostly terrible, fairways were decent. Had all winter to do renovations/repairs, etc. , so why does the place look like it is almost closed in the middle of April. We wondered why the prices were much lower than in the past, and now we know.
Hi there, we do apologize that your experience was less than ideal. We are working towards the best conditions possible here at Shaker Run before the season really kicks up. We do offer our best rate possible and will do our best to make your next experience an enjoyable one. Email me personally for a promo code on your next round.

Best Public Course in the City
A little slow at times, but it is the best public course in Cincinnati. Going in the fall is beautiful. Sneak in one more round out there before winter!
Staff acts like they are doing you a favor to sell you something
Teed off at 9am. Hit the turn at 11:20, went in to get a beverage. With only 4 customers in the bar, it took over 15 minutes to be acknowledged by the bartender. The cook behind the bar wouldn't even look up. Then they acted like they were doing you a favor to get you a beverage for the back nine. We finished at 2pm. FIve hours.........and waited every shot. Brutal.
Great layout
I played Lakeside to Woodlands. Never had to wait and nobody waited on us. Fantastic greens that require looking at putt from both sides. Greens were a bit bumpy but we got great rate to compensate. Some of the best finishing holes in the city.
disapointed
Played this course years ago. Always enjoyed it and thought it magnificent. Yesterday the fairways were nice for the most part but the greens had a lot of problems. Still love the course and will try again next year.
Course played great.
The course played great. I know they've been working hard to get the course back in top condition and you could tell. Fairways and greens were extremely nice. What beautiful views this course has. Highly recommend!!
Great course.....so so greens
I've played this course many times and always enjoy the challenge! Overall, the course was in pretty good shape except for the greens. They had recently been aerated which I know us a very necessary part of annual maintenance. However, don't charge me $65.00 to play it under these conditions!!!
Beautiful Course!
Course is in a beautiful setting, played the Lakeside 9 and the Woodlands 9. Fairways were in great shape, tee boxes average, greens below average. Loved the course architecture, lots of variety with thought put into each hole.
Disappointed
No money appears to be going back into the course or carts or any part of the facility. Greens in horrible condition on the 2 nines we played Woodlands to Meadows. Did not get to play Lakeside, billed as their premium nine, but it looked in better condition. Spending their money I guess on that higher cost nine. I won't be playing there any more.
I remember when this was a real premier course!
The greens need work as well as other areas of the course. Stll challenging but used to be in much better shape.
Potential to be great
Overall i was quite pleased with my round out there. The course has a fantastic layout to it. I read all these reviews on GolfNow about how bad this place had become but honestly I don't see the issue. The fairways and traps were perfectly fine. I could tell they had a rough year with the greens but a member assured me they have never been like this. Would i pay 50 dollars to play here? Heck no, but for anything under 25 you actually get a good golf course with a challenging layout. Honestly if you are paying more than 25 on GolfNow anyway you are crazy.The greens maybe half dead and aerated but they still hold shots great and roll better than 80% of the courses I've played in the area this year.
over rated course
The course was overbooked (per the clubhouse employee); he assigned blame to Golf Now. It was the second consecutive holiday that they overbooked,
The fairways were in average condition, at best. The greens were in poor condition. On course rest rooms were way below expectations.
Overall, the course was overrated and over priced.
Hi there thank you for taking the time to review Shaker Run. We are working, staff and crews, to bring Shaker Run to the best condition possible. We appreciate you coming out and please email me personally so we have the opportunity to reconcile you. Hope to see you again soon!
