Very nice layoff, old style course, fairways good, greens very nice, some tees and bunkers need TLC, friend staff! I’ll play it again.

From Best to Worse in 10 Yrs

I've played the course a lot over the past 10+ years, been 2 yrs from my last round to today. Well, simply put, one of the best course 10 yrs ago to one of the worse. Worn out is the best description I can give it. Practice Range before the round is close, except for lessons. Rough and tee boxes are dandelion filled, and I mean filled. They did not fertilize this spring or the weeds would not be around. 90% of the bunkers were not playable, had to take your ball out it. The Pro Shop has nothing in it, no gold balls, no golf gloves, no clubs, a few shirts hanging around. If they are in transition, fixing the place up, you would not know it because no said a word. It is rough seeing it like this, 10 yrs ago, it was an outstanding facility. I don't know why it went downhill, but at the price I paid today, it is not worth it.

Hi, Joseph. Let us first start by thanking you for your loyalty to Shaker Run. Through your last 10 years will us, We are sure you have noticed that the course has improved remarkably from when it was bank owned. In the last 5 years since we have taken over, we have worked to bring the course back to its glory when it was a gem 20 years ago and it could $75 a round. Renovations are taking place on the course, but we do our best not to draw focus from your game. We have fertilized everything twice and greens three times (which has does not affect weed control). We have been spraying for weeds this last week as we prepare for the 2017 season. We encourage you to visit us again to see the change. The course, although not where we want it, is in the best shape we’ve seen since we took it over 5 years ago. The Meadows bunkers were not doing well after the recent rain so we are beginning a project to tile and replace the sand now. As we said before, we appreciate your loyalty and the time you took to give us feedback. We would like you to reach out to us in the pro shop so we can make right but your last round. Thank you for playing Shaker Run Golf Club, we hope to see you on the course again soon.
