Lakeside/Meadows at Shaker Run Golf Club

Played this course several times on Lakeside and very disappointed with the construction. The Lakeside course , holes 3-8 are horrible no due to new town homes coming.the course was beautiful before , now Lakeside has lost its luster. I played the meadows for the first time ever and loved it, even both par 3's over 100 yards or so worth of water. Pared them both. Only issue was the bunkers. I will be playing the woodlands and meadows.

Received the first tee time, played as a twosome in about 3 hours. Played Lakeside/Woodlands. Woodlands was our last nine and came upon two foursomes who allowed us to immediately play through, which does not happen at many courses. The course was in great shape, we felt the greens were slower than they looked, and slower than normal, yet they held shots coming into them. They did putt very true to the line we choose.yardage markers were also very true and findable in the fairways. So all was very good. If a negative exists it was not on the course, but the work being done for new housing, which on most holes seem to run very close to the course, so until the housing is finished, it will be difficult to say how the visual, not the course itself, changes. I would play there every day if possible.

Once a great course is not the case now, you went to shaker for the great scenery no houses just nature,,, well now all you see is houses and earth movers, the greed to pay off debt they sold land on lakeside so you will be surrounded by houses, when we made the turn to woodlands they put a outing in front of us no excuse for that just poor management! Lambert the retired owner should be proud, he ruined moss creek and now shaker? Save your money and frustration. I will never go back there again

played golf at this course hundreds of times before grass cutter cussed me and my son out and we still dont understand .the manager of course came by and was extremely rude he was suppose to review situation with employee and come back never did suppose to get a hold of me never has what a terrible manager he never offered a apology

I'm sure at one point this was a really fine course. It feels like it needs freshened up a bit and needs more attention to the smaller things. Kind of rough around the edges

I have played Shaker Run 5-6 times over the last year & generally I would consider it one of my favorite courses. Their Lakeside 9 is BEAUTIFUL & the Woodlands 9 is challenging & offers some unique and fun holes.

When I booked my reservation, I did not realize I was booking for the Woodlands/Meadows courses. Once I realized I decided to just play anyway because I enjoy Shaker Run & have never played the Meadows course. The Woodlands was nice as usual however it was extremely soggy. We have had some rain recently but not enough to create this much mush on the course. The real disappointment however was with the Meadows 9. The bunkers were atrocious. They were filled with rocks, grass, and standing water. There wasn't a grain of soft sand on the course.

I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from playing the Lakeside or Woodlands courses but steer clear of the Meadows course. It was definitely not worth the $40 green fee.

Woodlands was in Great shape. Meadows must have been under repair. None or very little sand in the traps. Pace of play was bad. Two foursomes in front spent more time looking for balls than playing golf.

The greens were quick and in generally great shape, except the first four-five holes of the initial nine, which had dead spots from what was likely some sort of disease in the fairways and greens. Even despite this, the greens on those holes still rolled true. Tee boxes on some holes were a bit spotty. Despite these minor blemishes, the course was fun. It challenges the player to be able to hit a lot of different shots. A few holes were a bit gimmicky and therefore difficult to play for the first time without a guide regarding where to hit it. All that said, a very enjoyable round, and I'd gladly pay $55 to play there again. Pace of play was about 4 hours on a Sunday morning at 8:45. Can't beat that for a public course.

This is not the shaker of old. Greens are beat up and the sand traps are unplayable. Definitely overpriced for the conditions.

Everything about our experience was positive except the pace of play, 4 hours, 45 minutes. The only time we saw a ranger was at the starting hole.

Water on Lakeside course and woodsy and hills on the Woodside course - a good combination.

Played Lakeside/Woodlands. Course was in pretty good shape and the greens rolled really well. Unfortunately, the pace of play took a lot away from what could have been a great round. Played at 8am so expected better golfers and a normal pace at that time, but it took well over 5 hours to play 18 holes and we had backups at almost every tee and green.

Shaker has 3 - 9 hole courses. The original 18 named (Lakeside and Woodlands) are great and would yield a higher review. This is the first time I played Meadows in a few years. This 9 was way below par. The bunkers were still bare. If you aren't going to add sand, make them grass bunkers. For the price this 9 is not worth it. If you come, play the original 18 and you will not be disappointed.

I have played this course many times, and this was easily the best it has ever looked and played. In he past, the main issue was the sand traps. This time, 90% of the traps were playable. The only issues I saw were some swampy spots on the fairways and a few beat up greens. I am so impressed with how many improvements I am seeing here each time I go out. Keep up the good work! This course is almost ready for some kind of big event!

Drove up from NKY and had the course to ourselves for the most part. Golf course was in great shape. Always fun playing up here!

Over all the course conditions were good especially lake front , woodlands fairway conditions seemed to be under repair , if I play again will probably play meadows
