Shale Creek Golf Club

If you play most of your golf on public access courses, this course will definitely leave a smile on your face. The course and the staff were excellent!

As you can see from the date of my review, it was a little early to expect too much in early March in Ohio, but the course was in excellent condition.

We played on a Golf Now online teetime and didn't realize the course had a policy of "NO JEANS", but the pro gave us both a pair of rain pants to use for the day. Highly RECOMMENDED!

Shale Creek is an awesome golf course. We, my golf buddies, played this course every weekend for two years straight, this was before they built there new club house. The food, beers, pop where reasonable priced. Once the Club house was built, the golf price sky rocketed, food stunk, took forever to get. A bottle of pepsi increased $1 more than usual, even a snickers was way over priced. We tried to eat out at the patio and service was horrendous... I talked to the manager about it and they said they were experiencing growing pain, WITH AN ATTITUDE. How can granite golf have this problem when they have a sister course in Canton, The Quarry. An awesome course too, that is so successful..........Love Shale Creek Golf but lets fix those problems and lower your prices that is more than reasonable.

This course requires you to hit it straightish and very long!!! Long par 4's that could be par 5's on any other course. Windy days like the day I played allow the course to be even more of a challenge. Great conditions with the best greens I have played on this year. No matter the time of year you play here you will not be disappointed.

The course is in great shape, for the time of year. I've always had a great experience, every time I've played golf , here at Shale Creek. The fairways are not narrow , for the most part, but water comes into play on more than a few of the holes. So bring a couple of extra golf balls. thereare plenty of sand traps, but that part of golf. This place is one of the best. the restaurant and club is top notch too.

Course was in amazing shape. Challenging, yet forgiving. Can't say anything bad about the place. Will definitely be back.

Rain scared everyone away. Had the whole place to myself. Great play to enjoy a great fall day.

Easily on of the best public courses in NE Ohio. I played Shale Creek for the 2nd time in 2 years and it was every bit as good as the 1st time. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The starter gave me a few tips about some of the holes that came in handy. Range balls were complimentary---nice touch! And then there's the course...I love it. Its challenging but also fair. 5 sets of tees to choose from so even a high handicapper would find playing at Shale enjoyable. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all immaculate. Greens rolled true and they were quick. The regular greens fees are a little steep but you get what you pay for. I got a great deal on GolfNow via a "Hot Deal." My partner had never played Shale before and he agreed that this was easily one of the best courses in the Cleveland area. Go see for yourself, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Last Time I Played Here there was no club house, wow what a club house they have built very nice Facilities. The Golf Course was in excellent shape, the greens were fast and true and the fairways were some of the best I have played on all year, good job to the staff . Other then the wind that is always present at this golf course the weather was perfect, the wind only adds to the difficulty of this course. Overall Great Day and Golf Challenge.

Fun course to play from tips to the whites. Each tee promotes its own set of challenges, fun and challenging at the same time

Played this course on Oct 3rd. Wind chills in the 30s and rain. Course is in great shape for this time of year. Fairways very nice, and the greens were very fast and challenging. Wet rough on this day added to the challenge.

The greens are what protect this course from being pretty easy actually. Lots of suttle breaks, and very very fast. You should hit a lot of fairways here. And the course is not particularly long. The Par 3s and Par 5s are easy compared to other top public courses in the area.

Overall a great facility, course is in really good shape. A higher class golf experience for sure.

Enjoyed playing shale creek for the 2 bad time. Great challenge, especially from the tips. Fairways and greens in great condition. Definitely be back.

I played Shale Creek several years ago before the clubhouse - I must say that the overall experience has improved significantly and I would recommend this course to anyone. The conditions were great despite the recent dry spell. The greens run true and the layout is fair to all levels of golfer.

Didn't mention the restricted areas where the cart shuts off. Wasn't told about this and wasn't marked at all on the course. Noticed other golfers having the same problem during our round lots of wasted time contributing to slow play.

Shale Creek is one of my favorite courses. From the range, to the excellent condition of the course, greens were in great shape, staff very courteous and helpful, it is a must play if you live or are in the Cleveland area visiting.

The layout is great. Just an overall great golf experience.

This is by far the best course in the Brunswick/Medina/Strongsville area. If you haven't played it, you need to! Greens are very true and roll perfect, fairways are like butter.

I haven't played here in 10+ years, but got a pretty good deal through golfnow. The layout in interesting with a variety of holes/shots. Course is in excellent condition. Fairways green/soft, greens a bit slow (probably due to overnight rain) but rolled nice. Sand traps well maintained. Nice to have complimentary range balls and GPS. It would have been nice for pro shop to warn you that the carts automatically lose power is you go to restricted areas (like leaving cart path on par 3's).

So my father and I went to play this course, when we showed up it had a good looking facilities and the staff was nice. they let you hit golf balls for free with a time which i liked and the putting green was in good condition also BUT when we got on the course and the first couple hole were fine. Then we got on this par three, the pro shop had let a family of nine go in three separate groups which is fine but they didn't have a starter for the price we paid on a Saturday was outrageous!!! we were on pace to play a 3 hour and 45 minute round but since the family in front of us would let u through and there was no starter we never to play the back nine. I called in and ask if we play the front nine again. Overall I was disappointed for how much we paid and how the course looked i just dont think I want to play it again

Nice links course well maintained go for the hot deal
if available. Driving range included in price & carts have
GPS

I found the greens to be some of the best among public courses in the area, and would say they are a bit slow but close to the same quality of Medina country club. The lay out of the course is pretty fair and short to medium long from the back tees. I enjoyed hitting a lot of wedges into greens and the smooth putting surfaces. I will definitely play again.

Very boring course....shale creek only comes into play on the back holes 10, 11 and 12 thank God for those three holes as they are what makes that course. I don't think three holes warrant paying over 50.00. Drive down to eaglesticks or Longaberger and be simply amazed for 25.00 and 47.00.
Very disappointed with shale creek golf course!
