Shaker Run Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship golf that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Woodlands/Lakeside Course is the club's original layout designed by Arthur Hills. It was later joined by the gentler Meadows nine. Since opening in 1979, the Woodlands/Lakeside combination has come to be known as one of the best courses in the state. It features challenging elevation changes that are rare for a golf course in Ohio as well as several doglegs and numerous sand traps strategically placed throughout. As the names would suggest, there is also an abundance of water and trees on the course. The fifth hole on the Lakeside nine is Shaker Run's signature hole. The tee box sits nearly 100 feet above the hole and plays into the prevailing winds. It's tricky but if you play to the right of the green, scoring par is definitely possible.

Great course, poor condition

This is a great layout with many differing holes and unique features. However, the course conditions were poor, especially the greens. Several were bordering on un-puttable.

Never come back again in this season.

Green was horrible. There were too much sands and no grass on the green.

conditions lacking

The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape but the greens were terrible. Nice layout but I would not have played the course had I known the condition of the greens. Fix the greens and I'd recommend.

Greens on Woodside are very rough however Lakeside and Meadows were nice.

Overall the course was in good shape for a drought season.

Great Course Design, Greens in terrible condition

Shaker Run is a fantastic layout. However, the greens are so bad on the original 18 holes they should be played as an automatic two-putt. The worst greens I have ever seen, which is a shame for such a great course.

Woodlands was good, Meadows needed help.

Woodlands was the first nine, Meadows was the second. There is a third nine, Lakeside, which we didn't play. I understand the Woodlands and Lakeside are the original 18. Meadows was thrown in after, and it certainly appeared that way. It seemed as if they were short on budget and neglected the new nine in order to keep up the original 18. A nice track, but if you go to play, I would try for the original 18. Otherwise, a discount would be necessary when playing the Meadows, as the quality of design and condition was discounted as well.

Love the layout of the original 18.

Great value for the money. The course is not as well kept as it was ten years ago and has a few issues like some unplayable bunkers but the greens roll true.
