About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7053 yards
Slope 135
Rating 74.3

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.

Glad you loved the Woodlands course, sorry to hear the Meadows course was not as fantastic and the pace of play slowed you down. We hope to see you again and we'll be addressing the pace of play issue at the golf course.

Nice course poor management

The course itself is pretty nice except the bunkers are trashed no sand mostly water rock and dirt. The range is very hit or miss if they have balls available no starter my tee time was 8:27 didn't finish till after 1

Course still in rough condition

Despite my subject line if the course being in rough condition, I still had a blast as usual. The layout is fun and tough. Wish they would drain this course better. The meadows is an absolute disaster when it's rained even a few days ago. Sand traps are now mini ponds. Disappointing because this used to he a top notch course.

Good and Bad Both

Paid to play Woodlands and Lakeside. Was told by Starter could not play Lakeside HAD to play Meadows. Lakeside condition just fine, very enjoyable. Meadows was terrible. Traps washed out, greens full of fungus or whatever, and not at all comparable. Then on 9th hole Meadows stopped by Clubhouse Attendant and told "You played the wrong 9"! I said you are correct, we wanted to play Lakeside and YOUR Starter told us NO! A big disappointment in that we wanted to play original Shaker Run. Be SURE you get to play the routing you pay for. I should NOT have been so accommodating to Starter!!!

Also, made the Turn about Noon and only ONE(1) poor person working Bar / Lunch Counter! WHY?

Bad management

Played Shaker on Father's Day. It was a hot day, we teed off at 740am and course staff was changing hole locations while we were approaching greens. Another member of our group arrived at 640am and no one from the course was here yet. People standing outside waiting. No water on the course, no trash cans and no cart girls for these dads couldn't spend their money. We saw a course attended who had a water cooler and he yelled at us when we asked if there was water. We had to drive our carts over to him to get some. Bad customer service. We tried to get bar service at the turn and the bartender just ignored us so we left without drinks or food. The course is in good shape and its ashame that ownership doesn't care to provide a positive experience. Won't be coming back!

May 2016 Update

Under new management? First, the course: for May, the greens were excellent. Course was in very good shape for early in the season.

The thing that stood out was the staff. The new starter was genuinely friendly and helpful. The kid in the pro shop was also friendly.

Kudos!!!

Great Value and Scenery

Hopped on this course on a whim while visiting my brother who lives in the area. For the price, this place is a steal. Excellent fairways and greens, well designed, and amazing views around the lake on the "Lakeside" 9. Also played the Woodland 9. My only complaint is that we had a lot of lost balls that were clearly just a couple yards into the rough because the rough was so thick - rough needed to be maintained better in a lot of areas. Also may be worth buying the yardage book because there are a decent amount of blind landing areas off the tee and most of the time we ended up being in hip-deep grass without knowing it was there. Would definitely play here again for the value.

Course has great character.

This course is a great layout that makes you play your way around the course and not just grip it and rip it! For the most part the course is in great shape. However they need to get some sand in their bunkers. On some holes they are awful. That small bit of attention will get this course back to where it belongs. As usual the staff is outstanding! Thanks for the great rounds two Saturdays in a row.

Some neglect

I recommend playing wood/lakeside.. The meadows course is very neglected, almost looks like it's not on the same property..tall weeds in the fairways, and zero trash cans on the whole side.. If you can get it cheap then It's fine.. But anything over 30 bucks not worth it

Better shape than used to be

We had not played Shaker in a couple of years because of the quality of the course was terrible and the cost was unreasonable for what you got. We were pleasantly surprised when we played, and definitely will be back.

Great Shape

Last reviewers need to realize they were playing in early APRIL... Good ole Shaker Run is doing great and the course is blooming nicely! The greens and fairways are lush, cut nicely, and rolling well. The Tees need a little work, but they look prett good too. The bunkers are good given the rain we had last week. All in all the course is in better shape than I have seen for a few years now. Glad to see the work being done, and we look forward to coming back!
