Woodlands/Lakeside at Shaker Run Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

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.
Woodland
Best 9th hole. Always donate to the golf lord with extra balls to water
Thanks so much for playing at Shaker Run! Glad you loved the 9th hole. Come back and see us!
Thanks so much for playing at Shaker Run! Glad you loved the 9th hole. Come back and see us!
Good Course
Great value for the course
Glad you loved the course and saw good value playing here! Come back again soon.
Original 18 is always a pleasure to play
Greens are fast and in excellent condition. Rough is high and difficult to hit out of.
Glad you loved playing at Shaker Run and the conditions were awesome.
Nothing in pro shop
This place has a great layout but is very poorly managed. I needed to buy some balls and gloves but the pro shop is completely empty!
Thanks for leaving your review. Glad you liked the course layout, sorry to hear your experience in the pro shop was not desirable. We'll let our staff know, hope to see you back at Shaker Run!
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!
Excellent! Thank you so much for leaving your review we're so glad you loved the course and will be coming back for more. We hope to see you again soon, have a great day!
Grass need cut
To much weed all over the course. Need some more TLC
Thanks for letting us know, we will inform our staff and crews and address as necessary. Come back and see us!
This place blows
This place used to be a nice facility. Unfortunately now it's more suited for grazing herds of goats than anything. Weeds, terrible tee boxes, bumpy pock marked greens, no sand in the bunkers, dead trees and shrubs, uncut grass. Looks like it's about to go out of business. When we were there the Pro Shop was closed and you had to pay at the bar.
A total joke.
We regret to hear your experience at Shaker Run was not all it could have been . We will inform our staff and crews to address the concern here. We hope to see you again real soon.
Disappointed
This place used to be so great a few years ago. Course layout is awesome! But the course is just flat out in bad shape. Dandelions everywhere and lots of grass that needed cut/tended too. Very disappointing for the price, even with a golf now deal. We still payed $48 a player. They're charging same prices they did when they were a top 10 course in the state. My local city courses are in better shape...
Thanks for leaving your review, we regret to hear you didn't see good value in playing at Shaker Run for the price. We are working hard to make this the best Shaker Run yet. Hope to see you again.
What Happened
We played this course last year and thought the course was in really good shape with a nice layout. This year not so much. the greens and fairways were great but most of the other areas were un-mowed all over course. Seemed almost like the course is in financial trouble ... short staffed, closed pro shop (paid at the grill), uncleaned carts ...ect
Not on our short list especially at that high of a rate
Thanks for playing at Shaker Run GC, sorry to hear your experience was not up to par with your previous visits. Hope to see you again, we are working hard to bring things up to par and exceed your expectations.
Confusing
First let me list the pros of Shaker Run. The price was reasonable, staff was friendly, nice layout. Now the cons. No directions where to check in. No yardage markers on course. No water on course for golfer to drink. Got lost several times because therec are no signs . We weren't the only ones. Two different carts came up to us asking for directions. Finally no signs to where the cart drop off is. Again our experience would have improved if management would correct these inexpensive problems. Plus it took us 5 hours to play. For a twosome this is uncalled for.
Thanks for playing at Shaker Run GC, thank you for noticing our pros and for expressing your concerns too. We will have our staff and management informed to correct these small, yet crucial hiccups. We hope you enjoyed the course.
Way behind other course late March
Golf shop closed until April 7th. Onlly food availabe were hot dogs. Bunkers are untreated , greens haven't been rolled, almost seems grounds crew are on strike. Only paid $10 through golf now. Would not pay $35-$45 in this condition. Played 2 weeks in a row thought conditions would improve 2nd week .. they didn't.
We appreciate your feedback thanks for playing Shaker Run so early in the season. We understand the conditions were not as pristine as you might have expected, we are working towards the best Shaker Run possible. We hope to see you again later this season.
Excellent layout
Always love playing Shaker. The setting is the best anywhere. Fun course.
Awesome! So glad you loved the course and had fun at Shaker Run. We look forward to seeing you back for more!
Easter Golf
Great special course was in great shape.
Glad you loved the course conditions! See you back real soon, at Shaker Run!
Early Season
Course was in good shape for early season. Sand was pushed to outside of traps to dry out traps. Assume they will be adding new sand soon. Did not tell us pin placement and could not determine after 3-4 holes so our guess was it was a random pin placement.
Thanks for your review, we appreciate the feedback it is important to us. We will inform our staff regarding the sand traps, we are working towards the best Shaker Run possible in the 2016 season. Can't wait to see you again!
First impression is everything
I will not be returning, I played Woodland and Lakeside 3/23/16. We got off to a terrible start with the guy "running" the place when he showed up 10 mins AFTER our tee time. A majority of the tee boxes were a joke and I feel like a fool for paying green fees considering the condition they were in, I know its March but they should have given me a cpl bucks to put up with their conditions, in saying that the fairways and rough were legit. My biggest issue was honestly how nice of a layout and surrounding area the course had but their were so many things that interfered with my round. Not having any rangers really back slowed down our back 9, distance markers would have really helped in club selection and there were no layouts of the hole you could look at before teeing off. I was really disappointed and was not impressed by the lack of effort from the club house to the bunkers. Golf carts boogied tho, definitely had a hemi
Thanks for leaving your feedback on Shaker Run Golf Club, we regret to hear the pace of play and your first impression at check-in was under par. We will inform our staff on this matter and hope to see you again so we can make it up to you. We hope to see you back at Shaker Run, please reach out to us directly so we can sort something out for you: ShakerRunTeeTimes@aol.com
Great conditions in a monsoon
Shaker Run is working her way back to a great course. Course was in pretty good conditions for an early spring round. The day we played it pour and was cold. The balls still rolled on the soaked fairways. The new nine's traps were in poor shape but the original front nine had nice sand. I was happy to see Shaker Run making it back to being a spectacular golf course.
Great! Thank you for playing Shaker Run Golf Club and for leaving your review - glad you've noticed some of our improvements here at the course. We look forward to seeing you in the 2016 season. It's going to be a good one!
Really nice course
The guy in the clubhouse for super friendly...golf course with beautiful and we had a blast!!!!
Great! So glad you had an enjoyable time Garry, we appreciate you playing the course so glad you loved the scenery and had a good time. Can't wait to see you back again for more!
Beautiful Layout
Great course, bad conditions. Unfortunately, Christmas Eve started by a course cancelling our tee time. Luckily I got us on at Shaker Run. The course was wet(we had 2 days of rain ~2.5"), but the 65* weather was fantastic. All 3 of us played well overall, considering we played lift/clean/place. I would love to play here in the mid-summer when you can get some roll out. If you like a course with "a lot" of water this ones for you. The course has some magnificent holes.
Great! We're so happy to hear you got to play Shaker Run on or around Christmas time. We really appreciate the kind words and your review. We hope to see you again once the weather clears. Looking forward to your return visit!
Lot of fun
For December, the course was in great shape. Every hole was challenging and different.
Awesome! Glad you found Shaker Run to be a challenge and that you enjoyed the course. We can't wait to see you back once the weather improves in 2016!
thank you for the review and for playing with us recently! we value your feedback and appreciate the honesty. we are pleased to hear that we exceeded your expectations of us!
all the best,
Shaker Run GC Management
