Meadows/Woodlands at Shaker Run Golf Club

Lots of water challenges. Good course.

had a 1:09 tee time. didn't tee off until 1:39. No f*$%ing starter at the tee box. turned 9 and the six pack of miller lites were warm.

I played with a very slow player and was never pushed.

Beautiful layout, and incredibly good condition (particularly for the summer we've had in Ohio). Green were pretty quick. Nice pace, once we got started, never really had to wait on the group in front. Our group of 3 got caught be a group of 2 between the front and back nines, and we let them through. Other than that very smooth.

Only (very minor complaint) it was brutally hot, and only had cart service show up twice. (once on Lakeside and once on Meadows). Would've gladly bought more gatorade lol.

I know it is August BUT this IS Shaker Run. Fairways mostly were in horrible shape with lots of muddy spots. We had to play behind a group with 5 and they would not let us play through. (I was in a group of 3)

We hadn't played Shaker Run for about 10 years, and returning reminded me why it is a classic course in the Cincinnati area. Great layout, plenty of challenge without being ridiculously long like some courses. Nice people. Great rate. You will use every club in your bag, as Shaker keeps you thinking and learning. Can't wait to play it again.

For a course that charges premium money I was disappointed in the conditions on the course The fairways were chopped up and not repaired, there were many bare spots on the fairways. The greens were in fair shape.

Woodlands was in nice shape. Greens were long and slower than prior times here. Meadows holes 4 thru 9 were kind of rough.

Having three 9's helps keep the golfers spread out nicely

I had played at Shaker last year, and the course was in pretty rough shape. Perhaps benefited by the rain, the greens were in decent shape (even if people didn't replace their ball marks), the fairways were lush, and the course was generally in much better condition. With the sun shining, it was all-in-all a very nice day of golf.

While the course has improved its condition since I last played it 3 years ago, there were a significant amount of water albeit from the expected heat wave fro the next three days, The course in places was really soaked and 2 to 3 inches of water in the sand traps. Meadows have many sand traps with weeds growing in them and on the Woodside, too many ball marks on the green and a large number of divots in the fairway that golfers did not sand down. The layout is exceptional but it still needs a lot of work to get back to number 1 in the state of Ohio which it held for quite some time. Good luck!

Course layout is great! Unfortunately the weeds were the main attraction here. I couldn't tell you how many times I hit out of a patch of clover.
We finally saw the beverage cart on our FINAL hole. Drinking water was scarce as well.
I understand budgets come into play but this course used to be a gem. Now it's a cow pasture. Disappointing to say the least.

It had been almost 20 years since I last played this gem. The course was in great condition and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Ted Lambert and his team are to be congratulated on proving a great experience.

woolands was great, meadows was awful. pace was 5 hours

This course was once the pride of the greater Cincinnati area. It was a gem designed by Arthur Hills. It was manicured to PGA Tour standards and the $125 price reflected that quality. Skip to today. The course is unrecognizeable from its hayday. The only areas cared for are the playing surfaces. It's so grown over even the signature par 3 has weeds so high the once beautiful par 3 is not even viewable from the tee boxes. This course is now used for beginner golfers and golf outings. It took 5 hours to play and there is no pace of play enforcement. Sad to see this past beauty in such dire condition.

The course itself is pretty nice except the bunkers are trashed no sand mostly water rock and dirt. The range is very hit or miss if they have balls available no starter my tee time was 8:27 didn't finish till after 1

Despite my subject line if the course being in rough condition, I still had a blast as usual. The layout is fun and tough. Wish they would drain this course better. The meadows is an absolute disaster when it's rained even a few days ago. Sand traps are now mini ponds. Disappointing because this used to he a top notch course.

Great course. Great pace of play. Nice course layout.

Played Shaker on Father's Day. It was a hot day, we teed off at 740am and course staff was changing hole locations while we were approaching greens. Another member of our group arrived at 640am and no one from the course was here yet. People standing outside waiting. No water on the course, no trash cans and no cart girls for these dads couldn't spend their money. We saw a course attended who had a water cooler and he yelled at us when we asked if there was water. We had to drive our carts over to him to get some. Bad customer service. We tried to get bar service at the turn and the bartender just ignored us so we left without drinks or food. The course is in good shape and its ashame that ownership doesn't care to provide a positive experience. Won't be coming back!

Paid to play Woodlands and Lakeside. Was told by Starter could not play Lakeside HAD to play Meadows. Lakeside condition just fine, very enjoyable. Meadows was terrible. Traps washed out, greens full of fungus or whatever, and not at all comparable. Then on 9th hole Meadows stopped by Clubhouse Attendant and told "You played the wrong 9"! I said you are correct, we wanted to play Lakeside and YOUR Starter told us NO! A big disappointment in that we wanted to play original Shaker Run. Be SURE you get to play the routing you pay for. I should NOT have been so accommodating to Starter!!!
Also, made the Turn about Noon and only ONE(1) poor person working Bar / Lunch Counter! WHY?
