Shale Creek Golf Club

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.

Sunday afternoon, real hot out. No water on the course(drinking fountains off, it's May 10th???). The snack bar at the turn, to get something to drink was closed. HAA? it's Sunday afternoon. Course is great amenities not good.

Shale Creek is really a beautiful layout, and impeccably maintained as well. We played in the morning right after a good rain, course drains exceptionally well so no mud, and greens were still quite fast. The only complaint I could have is the price, as it is more expensive than other courses in the area, but at the same time, you get what you pay for.

Played a little slow bur overall a fun course with nice hole variation and good greens.

High quality upscale golf , excellent condition, great greens

Really nice test of golf great condition always ! Nice facility with friendly staff. Lunch was very slow but not bad.

it's good course for everyone. Can be challenging at times. Many tee boxes allows for a variety of handicaps to play and enjoy this course.

From arrival--met by a starters who are friendly and accommodating--in fact the whole staff makes you feel that your experience at Shale Creek is important to them--to a course that is well groomed and challenging,
made for an enjoyable day. I would recommend this course as one of the best public courses in Ohio

I got this as a HOT DEAL tee time

I think in the prime months the course asks for $60+ / better courses out there for that kind of price

Overall good course, has a driving range (there were no balls available) and a putting / chipping green.

Challenging course with great layout. Nice facilities.

This course was great for the value. Cleanest and best-looking course I've played

course played nice just keep it down the middle and your good

Shale Creek presented the fastest greens I have played all year. Overall conditions were very good. Clubhouse staff were very accomodating. Great deal for $22 on Golf.now. A couple holes require local knowledge, but most were fairly straightforward.

Had the pleasure of playing this beauty November 4th. The weather was around 60, partly sunny, but pretty windy. Wind came from all directions. Many of the holes the approach or par 3 tee shot was at least 2 clubs. Nonetheless, I found the layout unique but not Mickey Mouse like the old Blue Heron, eg. forced blind carries, pin positions that you could easily 5-putt. It was a fair course off the tee, enough room if you spray it, with the rough not so penal that you couldn't advance the ball. Greens were undulating, but again very fair. Reminds me of Boulder Creek as far as the conditions, layout, and conditioning, but Boulder in my opinion is a better value and more scenic. I will be back a few more times to learn where to place the ball off the tee and where to put my approach shots on the greens. Had alot of fun. The only negative was that as a 2-some, we caught up to 2 groups in front of us on the back nine. One 4-some and a 5-some, therefore played thee last 6 holes waiting on our shots.Worth the play for sure though. Thanks.
