Unique Layout

I played on a Hot Deal. Basically the price of a bucket of balls.

Layout is one of a kind and cool. Greens were very good. Fairways and tees were rough, but I knew that going in.

It was a lot of fun. Played in under 3 walking.

If you’re not concerned about aesthetics and like unique layout, definitely recommended!!

Shaker worth taking a look at!

I haven’t played Shaker in almost a decade but I took a chance and decided to try it as I like playing different courses. The rough wasn’t too long, fairways were pretty decent with some dryness which is to be expected and the greens and fringes were in great shape. I would highly recommend trying Shaker as I felt the condition and the value was well worth it. Additionally, the pro staff member was fantastic.

Very nice

Very nice course. I had a ton of fun.

I like when a course isn't using too many chemicals; and this course maintains a lot of the nature that surrounds the land.

Very fun. Longer front nine that feels more links-style and a fun back 9 that feels more resort-style.

I hope to play here more often.

Sad to see decline

I was a member of Shaker Farms in the 80’s when it was a private club. The course declined significantly when it went public. For the last several years I give the course one try each year to see if it has made a comeback. Sadly, the course is sorely neglected. Bare patches and weeds in fairway. Patches of dirt on some of the greens. I have always loved the layout but the course has fallen into disrepair and does not seem to be improving.

Not worth your money.

The conditions of this course are abysmal, to say the least. I can't tell the difference between the fairways and the rough. Greens are terrible. Not easy to get around. It seems like people drive all over this course, with barely any car paths. The front nine have a lot of potential with three par 5's and huge dog legs. But the conditions are just terrible—a big turn off.

Fun layout!

The course has a very nice layout for any golfer. Conditions are a bit beaten. Tee boxes need work, along with some fairways. But for the price and layout it’s a Winner!

Great Course, Better Value

This course, hands down, was perfect. It had a great layout of each hole and had challenging hazards to keep you on your toes. Shaker Farms offers a putting area and driving range to warm up before you tee off. The staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful with any and all questions. I will definitely be back to play or even become a member.

Nice Round.

Shaker Farms is not a world class primped course, but it is a great place to spend an afternoon; and the people and pricing can't be beat. The course has a lot of narrow fairways and requires patience. The fairways are rough in spots and a few greens were a bit bare of lush grass, but for the money it's a sure winner. And it is an attractive, fun, and challenging course. Enjoy!

Average course with good value

As a member of the Safari Club, western Mass premier golf group, I played Shaker Farms after several years of not playing this course. The conditions have definitely improved since the last time and now I would go back again. The greens were the best of the course. Tee boxes need additional work as well as some of the fairways. But that said, the layout is good and there are some truly challenging holes, especially No 17.
