Course is a let down

I had heard great reviews in the past. After playing, I wouldn't golf here for free. The lack of finished cart paths. The fact that you can not distinguish the tee box from the fairway, orr rough for that matter. The overall shape of the course was a disappointment. The rates do not coincide with the condition or quality of this course. My cart died on 16. I walked the rest of the way and was not even offered an apology. No customer service at all from this establishment. Never recommended

First time here

This was our first time at Shaker Farms so we did not know what the expect. I was pleasantly surprised with the layout. A nice variation from hole to hole. We played it from the back tees and thought a few holes could have been a little longer. Overall an average length. 16 out of 18 greens were very nice. Two of them had a few issues but overall I'd give the greens a 9. We had a great day at Shaker. Pace of play was perfect and people were very nice. If I may suggest; divot mix with seed on the carts, cut unnecessary trees around greens and tee boxes to let in more light and air and, spray to get rid of clover in the fairways.

Terrible. STAY AWAY!!

This used to be a really nice course. I haven't played here in 10 years. I will never ever consider playing here again. Greens have almost no grass on most. The tee boxes are non existent. You cannot tell where the fairways are or where the rough begins. This course really should just close. It's a shame what has happened.

Bad shape

This course has really fallen off over the last few years. I will no longer be playing shaker farms. The tee boxes are dirt and the greens are all burned and spotted.

Not bad but needs work.

I love shaker farms cc. I learned how to play golf here and will most likely continue playing here just due to the memories. It's a beautiful course especially in the fall with all the wonderful trees. Sadly, I would have given it a 5 star if the greens were good but most of them are patchy and it's hard to putt well when there is so much grass missing. In addition, more care needs to be taken in order to make the fairways better and less blotchy. It would be nice if the bathrooms didn't smell and was actually cleane. But the course over all is one I like and go to frequently.

Nice overall

I've seen plenty of coarse's but Shaker has the friendliest staff of all. The coarse needs some maintenance but other than that it was a nice pace of play and a nice coarse. I have no regrets coming and paying for my holes. I recommend riding. Take some extra balls also due to water hazards and long grass.

Cow Pastures are greener

Concrete tee boxes , sandy hard fairways and inconsistent greens with lots of dead spots. Pay a little more and play somewhere nicer.

Great value for your money!

First time playing Shaker Farms and thoroughly enjoyed my round! The older man working in the pro-shop who we checked in with didn't seem too happy that we made reservations online and HE didn't have our information in his tee-time log. That aside, the cart I had was smoother and had more pick-up and go than others I've used in the past. There are some challenging blind tee shots on a couple holes as well as some blind shots to elevated greens. If you stray to far from the fairway, good luck finding your ball! The girl working at the bar/restaurant upstairs was very friendly and the chicken salad sandwich and Shaker chips were delicious! Didn't end up in any bunkers so I can't comment on them. The only repairs needed were on one of the greens as some of the grass had died off, a few run-up areas to the green in the fairway and a few tee-boxes weren't all that flat and had lost quite some grass. Overall the course was a fun challenge and a great value for what you pay for.

OK course... Just average maybe below.

Greens were ok... today I played another course... 1/3 the price... excellent condition.. Thought the price was up for course conditions. T boxes hammmered... greens spotty as far as condition.. Fairways really undefinable... Again, the price seemed above the course condition.

Nice staff and friendly casual atmosphere.

I'm a new golfer and found certain holes to be quite a challenge for me. I thought it was well maintained and I liked the staff a lot. I believe it is a course that my game can grow with.
