Shale Creek Golf Club
About
Nestled in a quiet residential community, Shale Creek Golf Club sprawls across land that for a century prior had been the Gunkelman Farm. The course repurposes the rolling terrain into a challenging layout. The subtle changes in elevation make for some tricky lies. There are also many streams that meander through the golf course before cascading into the nearby Rocky River. The river even comes into play from the 10th to the 15th holes. The golf course features large, undulating greens and wide fairways. Water has a dominant presence on the course but the final holes showcase more traditional Ohio terrain with wooded, gently rolling hills though you'll still have plenty of water to contend with on these holes. Shale Creek Golf Club requires accuracy and it will make you think, but it's not too difficult for a beginner to enjoy.

Always in great shape
Shale creek is always in great shape. Weather your playing after a drought or in this case after tons of rain. The course always prevails. There was heavy rain most of he night and until 10:15. Our tee time was at 8:50. Everyone else left the course but we waited out the storm and tees off right before the rain quit. Within 3 holes most of the standing water was all gone and the putts were stick pretty quick even tho the greens were wet. I play this course 6-10 times a year at full price or close to it, this day we got a hot deal and I got the course for half price. We weren’t able to take advantage this time, but one of the best things about this course is that they have free range balls. I always get here 90 min early to hit the range, chip, and putt before my rounds. The single downfall this time around was that even at the turn they had nothing at all to snack on as far as even a hot dog. But all in all shale creek is always a great experience.
Country Club Lifestyle!
Course is always immaculate. I wouldn’t pay normal rate, but thanks to golf now you can always find a deal! Give this course a try!
Fall Golf
The course was in great condition, including the greens. The pace of play was also perfect. Can't beat weekday golf in the fall!
Overrated
Course conditions were good and the greens were fast, but that's the only good thing I can say about this golf course. The layout winds through a residential neighborhood and you are liberally playing in someone's backyard on almost every hole. On one tee box a dog was about 40 feet away and barked at us continually. There is no scenic beauty and very few trees. I just don't understand why people like this course. Not my cup of tea. I won't be back and honestly wouldn't play it again if it were free. There are much better options in the area.
What a great course. Would play this again, sand traps were great and greens ran true.
Perfect Day at Shale Creek
Drove out from Pa on a two day buddy trip and played at Shale Creek. We had perfect weather for mid October. The course was a little wet from some midweek rain but in Very nice shape. Very Friendly staff and a Great experience. We will be back when we return to the area.
Best public-available course in Medina area.
Tee boxes, fairways, greens all in great shape. Most holes are not too difficult. Plenty of sand traps and rough to make it interesting, but, the fairways are wide enough to avoid trouble.
An OUTSTANDING experience!
I found this gem on the Golf Now website. The course starts and ends on magnificent holes. All sixteen holes in between are filled with unique challenges. The community through which the course winds is surprisingly by no means a distraction. No two holes are alike and each hole was a joy to play. I have played golf in every state and many countries. I rank this one among the ones that I am eager to play again. 5 stars are not enough.
Great track / conditions
Busy day on Labor Day. Got off right on time. Course was in great shape, and staff was attentive.
This course makes you think
I play Shale Creek as often as I can. Position is key. I never even bring a driver when I play here. Several doglegs require an iron or hybrid to tee off. You have to take your time and think about the shot on almost every hole but is very playable. Shale Creek is always in great shape and so much fun. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The best cheeseburger around. It really feels like you are on vacation when you enter the parking lot.
Everything
This course was everything that I had heard about it and more. The community around the golf course is lovely. The course layout is everything that I had heard as far as play ability. At the turn the have a snack bar and at the end a 1st class eatery with everything you need for the 19th hole. I loved it.
