Meadows/Woodlands at Shaker Run Golf Club

Played this course after 3 days of heavy rain and it was 'cart path only'. Was still in great shape. Lots of interesting holes. Will definitely play again and again.
They are currently remodeling the clubhouse but the bar/restaurant is open.
They have three 9 holes and we played all 3.
Great day!

I love the layout of the course but I wish it was in better shape. Tee boxes had weeds and weren't groomed well. Greens were just okay

There is no drinking water on the course and no cart ladies.

Pace of play was terrible too. 4 hours 45 minutes for a Friday afternoon.

If you are looking for a course that challenges both with water and trees this course is for you. I had played this course several years ago and had heard it was closing so when I visited OHIO recently I went to play. Good news is they told me they are not closing. This is great as the course is well laid out, the people are friendly and for now, the fees are very reasonable.

Great course that is challenging. It looks like they are doing everything they can to renovate and make the course better. Normal rates are pretty expensive though but catch it on a Hot Deal on Golf Now and it's a great value.

This course is in emasculate condition and the quick undulating greens are difficult. Shaker run 'shook' my handicap. lol. I will definitely be back

I've played here quite a few time but this day I was disappointed with the condition of the course . There were an incredible amount of large dandelions, particularly in the rough. Some appeared to have been treated, others not. Fairways had a lot of bare spots. Bunkers needed sand. One bunker was full of gravel. Greens were okay but not great.

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.

First and foremost, Shaker Run used to be my favorite course in the northern Cincinnati area. I have played there for years and remember the glory days when Pro-Am occurred there and it was ranked as one of the best public courses in all of Ohio. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case and it doesn't even rank as one of the best public courses in the area. Whether it be new management or poor management, I returned to play the course and did not even recognize it. If you want to play a course without sand bunkers (literally a construction hole rather than sand trap); fairways overcome with weeds; uncut grass making it play like a US Open; burnt greens, etc., then feel free to waste your money and time.

Upon providing this feedback to the clubhouse, I was told the course is in "Great Shape" which explains the problem. I will always have a place in my heart for Shaker Run....just not this version.

Apparently a victim of the economy, this once spectacular course is suffering a bit from lack of care. ($$). That said, the layout is as fine as you are likely to see in southern Ohio, and that makes it a pleasure to play. I would not hesitate to recommend it, even if it is not immaculate. (Few courses are.) It certainly doesn't disappoint.

I have now went through golf now several times this year and each and every round was perfect from start to finish. Not a single complaint.

The course has three 9 hole layouts. Each has challenges that make them fun to play. Lakeside and Woodland both have a dog leg 9th hole around water that are as picturesque as they are dangerous. Meadow has a dog leg 5th hole that is the same way. I never miss a chance to play this beautiful course when ever I visit Cincinnati. Its one you have to play.

Played a weekday round at the Lakeside and Woodlands nines after not being on this course for at least a year. Great layout with elevation changes, water hazards, bunkers - every hole is unique. There were some ragged holes and condition issues a year ago but now the course just feels worn out. Fairway grass is thin over much of the course and you feel like you're hitting out of the mud (or I guess it would be hardpan if it were dry). Greens are well contoured but not true; ball wanders all over the place as it slows. Tee boxes have very little grass. Bunkers have no sand or the sand is so packed that a chip shot is preferred over an explosion shot. Retaining walls are decayed and crumbling, etc. etc. You get the idea.... I can't imagine what it would cost to put the course back in shape. Maybe the owners are just waiting for a developer to buy the course to convert to houses or condos and trying to keep a bit of revenue coming in from greens fees until then. It's a shame for such a superb course design but I guess a sign of the times in the golf business.

Wow houses and condos everywhere sure ruined a nice private feel the original 18 had when I played it twenty years ago I wanted to see the new 9 the meadows cool to see they honor Frank Licklier with his staff bag and clubs in a window next to the golf shop (he's now a PGA golfer that grew up playing there ) the meadows 9 was interesting I only made 7 holes because it was painfully slow but that's to imagine on a Saturday at 1:00 ? Paired with a golfer named Ben good player would wil play the course again

3 9-hole courses. Very nice layout with water. Due to recent rain, some of the sand traps had excessive standing water.

The course was in fair shape, but a lot of fun to play with good fairways and fair ruffs. The greens were a little ruff.

I enjoyed my round at Shaker Run and will return to play again soon. I found the course to be in good condition and the holes were all unique and challenging. I loved the last hole Woodlands with two water hazards that influenced your first two shots on the hole. But there were many others like a short par four requiring an iron off the tee and a shorter par 5 that put placement at a premium.

Not the wonderful golf course it used to be. Greens were in good shape but fairways and tee boxes were rough.
