Shale Creek Golf Club

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!

Took me a few holes to feel out the greens. Speed was pretty consistent but some were bouncy while others held. Mainly forgiving fairways; at mercy of bounces because of rolling terrain. Most fairway lies ended up level however. Back nine has a couple of tricked up holes where driver is not the club from the tee but overall a well laid out, roomy, swing free course. My first time and I would go back. There are many less expensive courses on the west side but this one was worth the price. I'm a 66 year old 11 handicapper and played from 6300 yards. The big boys can go all the way to 7000 if they want. Woman friendly green tees as well. Bring the bride if you are so inclined.

We had a 4pm tee time so it was pretty quiet. We hit our complimentary range balls for about 10 minutes before we started. The course is great and well taken care of. You can tell the grounds crew and staff take pride in their work and providing a quality experience. The staff was eager to help and did a great job at explaining the course and various features since it was our first time there.

The only compliant really was the charge of the golf carts. I don't know if they were just short on carts or had a busy morning or something, but we saw about 3 carts being pushed back to the clubhouse while we played and ours started to die on 16 but it was able to sputter itself back to the clubhouse after our round was done.

Absolutely loved the course. I got lost getting to the course, GPS at fault. Called the Pro shop spoke to someone who couldn't have been more helpful. Arrived at the course and proceeded to the range to hit some complimentary balls. Played with my son who was in town. The fairways were cut tight with some roll to them. The greens not particularly fast were true consistent speed. The course was busy with an outing finishing up pace was good as we played 18 in three hours and forty five. The price was more than reasonable. GPS on carts were helpful. I will be back.

If you can't place the ball well don't play here. If you can it's a fabulous and slightly challenging course. A lot of fun to play and they really take care of the course.

I've golfed a lot of courses in northeast Ohio but had never made it to Shale until last week and I can tell you I will definitely be back. This place is fantastic... Nice facilities, the course was fast, the greens were perfect, and the GPS system is spot on. This course is very fun to play and challenges you simultaneously. My only knock on the place was no Bloody Mary Mix on the beverage cart. I can't wait to play Shale Creek again!

My first round was back in 2009. They never have fixed green fees. I have 2 groups to play every week, so I have a Tee Times Golf Pass. Every single time I paid different green fees depend on their mood. But the worst thing is green. It just look a like a green. some hole's fairway was better than the green. I don't suggest play at this course.

Course is in great shape, except for the bunkers, which is because of all the rain. Not much roll in fairways or rough (but better than most) again due to all the rain. Great greens to putt. I will play again.

plan on speaking with club manager Scott Shreck asap

First, I was surprised the carts were allowed off their paths; this area has experienced inordinate amount of rainfall over past week. The course was wet, but more playable than most others in the area. Greens were rolling nicely, although players have to learn how to properly repair ball-marks ..........and not just their own. Outstanding deal on price for Hot Deal Spec, but disappointed we could not finish the round, as we got poured on by hole #12. We could not wait out the rain stoppage or play w/rivers running on greens & fairways. I can't wait to return & replay; also disappointed I can't match my score on that front 9 of even par 36.

I'm a duffer, but I found the course both beautiful and fairly challenging. They gave out free bottled water, which was a nice touch. Range was free along with a round of golf. Course was well maintained. Greens were in good shape and reasonably fast. I'm not sure I'd play for regular price (close to $70) but at $41 a pop it was an excellent value. Quality wise, I'd consider it slightly better than Mallard Creek, my other favorite NEO course.

The course was in great shape and enjoyed the round.

Very challenging and manicured course. You get to use every club in your bag. Greens are hard and speeds varied from hole to hole.
Practice range with free golf balls was a plus.
Only disappointment was food service - only hot dogs at turn.
You have to go in Granite Grill for sandwiches. You would be better to bring your own

Great course to play with some challenging holes. Have to use strategy.
