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.

Too Pricey for the condition of the course
Traps not good. Greens not recovering. Nobody working on the course. Weekday rates are OK, weekend rates way too high for the condition. NO red, white or blue flags at all. Clubhouse guy was too busy on phone (non golf call) to talk w/ me after the round.

As a first timer, I had a wonderful time and enjoyed my round. It was more difficult to find your way to and from the course than playing it,,, however, you will definitely need a cart as most holes are a good distance apart.. Not good to walk it. A couple holes on the course butted against a cattle farm supplying an abundance of the fresh country air, if you catch my drift. Hopefully, this won't deter you from playing... It's a great golf course.. I plan to return next time I'm in the area... ..
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Shale Creek Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
