Shale Creek Golf Club

I play Shale a handful of times every summer and usually have a great experience. This time, not so good. Weather was great, course was beautiful, but SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. Played as a two some and took 5 hours! Three groups in front didn't know how to go to their ball and be ready to hit. A ranger would have been great to help speed them up. I know the starter has GPS in his cart and can see all the carts logged jammed... Someone should have come out to move it along or let us by. We tried to move ahead, but the groups in front were not friendly and didn't think they were the ones playing slow... They were. I'll try Shale again, maybe not on a Sunday with perfect weather when the Browns are on a bye week though!

Beautiful challenging course. Had no problems with the golf now tee time like I have had before at other courses. Pace of play was a little slow but that will happen on a Thursday.

Played Shale Creek on a Saturday afternoon. Check in went smooth. You don't have to pay for range balls. (Nice!# The course was fantastic. I loved the layout. Greens were fast and rolled true. Lots of elevation changes and sidehill lies. Bunkers were mostly immaculate looking. (I was fortunate to avoid them.) Its a little bit of a hike being that its all the way in Medina. It was worth the drive and I cant wait to get back. The green fee is a little steep but you get what you pay for. One thing that was disappointing was the little snack bar they have at the turn was just closing for the day at 4:00! C'mon man. We were hungry and wanted to get food.

The course was in excellent condition and the facilities and amenities are first class. This is a course avid golfers should play.

Course was beautiful, and in great shape. It was worth both the money and drive (it is 45 minutes from my house). I am sure i will be back at least 1 or 2 times a year from now on.

This country links style course is has everything you want in a golf course. Elevation changes, great fairway and green contouring, and a long wide bunkers. The design is second to none, at no point does it feel overly contrived and constructed, like all of Brian Huntley's courses. GPS in carts, free range balls and free water, and the exceptional up keep of the course add to overall experience.

This course will make you really think but won't beat you up too bad. Every hole is interesting to a point where you just want to stand and look. Accuracy is a must. Don't worry too much about distance. I loved playing this place. It's like no other around. Great shape. Very relaxing atmosphere.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the staff and treated with the greatest respect. They were happy to serve us in every way from their awesome food to their beautiful facilities. The course was in excellent condition...except for the greens which seemed to have a lot of ballparks (obviously the golfers' fault for not fixing them than the course's fault). This is one course we definitely recommend to anyone at any skill level. We will definitely play here again and hope you will too! It really is a must play!

Beautiful course very tough and challenging. Would recommend anyone to play this course. Love the gps in the golf carts.

Well maintained greens and fairways. Overall excellent choice for a round of golf.

Once we played through a fivesome AND a very very slow twosome, the pace of play was good. Greens fast rolled true

The course was great, staff was friendly, food was delicious, but I was most impressed with how advanced the gps unit attached to the cart was. It gave flyovers of each hole, distances to everything imaginable on each hole, you can report any problems you have from the golf cart, and even email the scorecard to yourself or a friend. I will definitely play this course more often when I get out of retail and make more than minimum wage.

This course is a Gem. Love the free balls at the driving range to prep your shot. excellent course. Greens roll true, which made my short game tough, but true. fairways are prestine. No complaints at all. need better signage on hole 5 to 6 so that you don't play the wrong hole order, but that is the only issue. PLAY this course if you live in Northeast OHIO.

Be sure to keep you cart on the path for par 3's and away from OB or cart will shut off.

This was extremely worth the early rate. Didn't see anyone out till the 8th. I set my own pace playing as a single till the turn. The greens were perfectly fast. The only obstacle was my own play.

I played on a weekday with a GolfNow tee time. The course was busy but not crowded, and I got paired up with a couple guys. My original plan was to walk but was quickly advised not to due to some 1/4 mile distance from green to tee on a few holes.
Course was in great shape, the greens were fast but consistent. The clubhouse was new since my last visit and looked very nice. Carts are GPS equipped.

From the free range balls and gps in the carts, Shale Creek delivers the total golf experience. Its the best totally golf experience in the area. And the golf course is a fantastic, challenging, beautiful, and always in great shape. Almost impossible to have a bad experience.

Its worth the extra ten dollars to play here compared to other courses in the greater Cleveland area.

Played on the hottest day this summer. Fairways and greens were well watered.

I love this course. It makes you feel good after the round. We really enjoy playing this course since it is very comfortable to play.

Course in great shape, but pace of play was irritating
