Woodlands/Lakeside at Shaker Run Golf Club
About
Shaker Run Golf Club offers 27 holes of championship golf that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Woodlands/Lakeside Course is the club's original layout designed by Arthur Hills. It was later joined by the gentler Meadows nine. Since opening in 1979, the Woodlands/Lakeside combination has come to be known as one of the best courses in the state. It features challenging elevation changes that are rare for a golf course in Ohio as well as several doglegs and numerous sand traps strategically placed throughout. As the names would suggest, there is also an abundance of water and trees on the course. The fifth hole on the Lakeside nine is Shaker Run's signature hole. The tee box sits nearly 100 feet above the hole and plays into the prevailing winds. It's tricky but if you play to the right of the green, scoring par is definitely possible.

Easter Golf
Great special course was in great shape.
Early Season
Course was in good shape for early season. Sand was pushed to outside of traps to dry out traps. Assume they will be adding new sand soon. Did not tell us pin placement and could not determine after 3-4 holes so our guess was it was a random pin placement.
Thanks for your review, we appreciate the feedback it is important to us. We will inform our staff regarding the sand traps, we are working towards the best Shaker Run possible in the 2016 season. Can't wait to see you again!
First impression is everything
I will not be returning, I played Woodland and Lakeside 3/23/16. We got off to a terrible start with the guy "running" the place when he showed up 10 mins AFTER our tee time. A majority of the tee boxes were a joke and I feel like a fool for paying green fees considering the condition they were in, I know its March but they should have given me a cpl bucks to put up with their conditions, in saying that the fairways and rough were legit. My biggest issue was honestly how nice of a layout and surrounding area the course had but their were so many things that interfered with my round. Not having any rangers really back slowed down our back 9, distance markers would have really helped in club selection and there were no layouts of the hole you could look at before teeing off. I was really disappointed and was not impressed by the lack of effort from the club house to the bunkers. Golf carts boogied tho, definitely had a hemi
Thanks for leaving your feedback on Shaker Run Golf Club, we regret to hear the pace of play and your first impression at check-in was under par. We will inform our staff on this matter and hope to see you again so we can make it up to you. We hope to see you back at Shaker Run, please reach out to us directly so we can sort something out for you: ShakerRunTeeTimes@aol.com
Really nice course
The guy in the clubhouse for super friendly...golf course with beautiful and we had a blast!!!!
Great! So glad you had an enjoyable time Garry, we appreciate you playing the course so glad you loved the scenery and had a good time. Can't wait to see you back again for more!
Great conditions in a monsoon
Shaker Run is working her way back to a great course. Course was in pretty good conditions for an early spring round. The day we played it pour and was cold. The balls still rolled on the soaked fairways. The new nine's traps were in poor shape but the original front nine had nice sand. I was happy to see Shaker Run making it back to being a spectacular golf course.
Great! Thank you for playing Shaker Run Golf Club and for leaving your review - glad you've noticed some of our improvements here at the course. We look forward to seeing you in the 2016 season. It's going to be a good one!
Beautiful Layout
Great course, bad conditions. Unfortunately, Christmas Eve started by a course cancelling our tee time. Luckily I got us on at Shaker Run. The course was wet(we had 2 days of rain ~2.5"), but the 65* weather was fantastic. All 3 of us played well overall, considering we played lift/clean/place. I would love to play here in the mid-summer when you can get some roll out. If you like a course with "a lot" of water this ones for you. The course has some magnificent holes.
Great! We're so happy to hear you got to play Shaker Run on or around Christmas time. We really appreciate the kind words and your review. We hope to see you again once the weather clears. Looking forward to your return visit!
Lot of fun
For December, the course was in great shape. Every hole was challenging and different.
Awesome! Glad you found Shaker Run to be a challenge and that you enjoyed the course. We can't wait to see you back once the weather improves in 2016!
No complaints for mid-November golf
When my friend booked the tee time, I was aware of a season-long litany of complaints that conditions had really slipped at Shaker, so I had some trepidation as to what we might find. Having played our round, I think it only fair to report that those fears were largely unfounded, particularly for this time of year. Conditions were actually quite good for November golf. Greens on the Lakeside nine had been more recently aerated and still had a significant amount of gridding, but the Woodlands nine must have been done first, because conditions on that side were actually quite playable. The fairways seemed fine and ground cover by leaves looked to have been well-tended to (either by the course or Mother Nature, or both). Topping it off with a $21 greens fee o a layout as strong as this and we felt like we got great value, which is nice to be able to say and isn't necessarily something I would say all the time of Shaker during mid-season play.
We appreciate you leaving your review on Shaker Run and we're so glad you loved the course and your round this fall! Looks like you got a great deal and enjoyed it so we are happy to hear this. Thanks for your helpful insight on the course, we are working hard every day to make this the best Shaker Run it can be. See you real soon and happy holidays!
It should be better
The Meadows course is neglected. The bunkers on Lakeside and Meadows are not maintained. The greens were recovering from aerification, but was not posted on Golfnow when purchasing the tee time. The greens had not been cut for a few days. The course management does not give the group finishing the ninth hole the right of way to begin immediately on the 10th tee. Choosing to call the course three separate nine hole courses is confusing and causes long waits in the middle of a round. There is nothing more frustrating than having a new group cut in front of you on the 10th tee with management's direction to do so. GPS yardage on Meadows is inaccurate.
Thanks for leaving your feedback on Shaker Run Golf Club. We have this all noted and will audit these suggestions with our staff here. Thanks for looking out for us. We are glad that you like the course though and will be working to improve Shaker Run for your next round. Come back and see us soon!
Great Value
Golf Now is the ONLY place to book your tee times. Played Shaker Run for $18. ( incl. the fee ).
We played Meadows ( the newest 9 ) and Lakeside. Both were in great condition.
The ONLY issue we had, there were lots of leaves on many of the greens. Understandable somewhat this time of year.. Shaker has lots of trees.. lol
Regardless, GREAT value.
Thanks
Don
Awesome! We're so glad you found a great deal on your tee time and that led to you coming out and playing in the beautiful fall scenery at Shaker Run! We are working hard to keep the course in great shape for your next round. Come back soon!
Great shape but slow play.
Started at 10:30 took 5:20 to finish. Course in great shape, greens quick and smooth. Just takes a little too long to get around.
Very cool! Thanks for playing at Shaker Run. We appreciate your feedback happy to hear the greens were up to par. Hope to see you again soon!
Shaker Run

Thanks for the recommendation! We are happy to hear you loved the course and got a good deal. We can't wait to see you on your next round!
Enjoyed the experience
There's been a lot of reviews claiming this course isn't what it used to be and that may be true but it's still really nice. This was my first time playing here and I'll be back. The greens, bunkers and tee boxes were fine for the most part. Fairways were a bit harsh in areas but considering the time of year you really can't expect perfection. My only real complaint is the confusion in playing the Meadows course. It doesn't match the "GPS caddie" app on my iPhone and is difficult to navigate unless you've played it before. The Monday morning pace of play was great. I finished 18 in about 3 hours 15 minutes (even after wandering around lost for a bit). Staff was friendly and helpful but I can't comment on food and beverage as I didn't visit concessions. Carts were in good shape and ran fine.
Awesome! We love our fans! Thanks for playing Shaker Run we're happy to hear you enjoyed the course and the scenery. We love it too! We hope to see you on your next round, when you check in let us know exactly how we can make your round the best it can be. See you soon!
Very nice course
The course had great views and was well laid out. Lots of open area. Having never played there before there could have been more info on hole lay out and where the next holes were located.l Pace was great and staff was very friendly and helpful. Condition was OK and as expected for a late season public course. Small things could have been better like water in the ball washers and trash cans at the tees. Some of the cart paths were in bad shape. Over all a good time and I will most likely play there again.
Cool! Great to hear you liked the course and the layout. Thanks for playing Shaker Run Golf Club. We have notified our staff and crews of the conditions you speak of and hope to get those restored for you as soon as we can. Come back and see us!
Love this course
For the most part it was in very good condition. Unfortunately, they had just aerated the greens on the Meadows course. But, they have to do them sometime.
Very true! We aerate to provide the best possible conditions for our golfers. Thanks for noticing our improvements and we're glad you loved the course itself. Come back soon!
Beautiful surroundings
If you can find a steal of a deal online, play here and enjoy the beautiful change of season at hand out at Shaker Run. Nice layout for golfers of all skill levels...
Awesome! Glad you loved the layout of the course and got a good deal on Shaker Run tee times. We look forward to seeing you back!
Just ok
What normally is a great course was in bad shape. Fairways were in average shape. Tee boxes were in horrible shape and had uneven ground. Greens were in decent condition.
Thank you for your feedback, it is important to us. We have our staff and crews informed of the conditions you mentioned and are working to bring them up to par. We hope to see you again on your next round!
A different kinda of golf course.
A different layout, you get a little bit of everything, open and tight fairways, a lot of water shots, long and short holes. Overall a great course, however a few of their fairways were a little rough as well as all their bunkers.
Thank you for your review on Shaker Run Golf Club, it is very important to us. We are happy to hear you liked the course layout and the variety of holes and found it to be quite a challenge! We hope to see you again on your next round at Shaker Run!
Sad History of what used to be a gem
Shaker Run used to be perhaps the finest public golf course in Ohio, but over-development and a general management policy that does little to respect the original qualities of the course have consistently degraded the experience. I've twice booked this course specifically with the promise of playing the original 18 holes and twice the course has moved me to the meadows 9 due to outings or general booking errors without proper compensation.
This behavior is fundamentally unfair and disrespects their customers. The condition of the Meadows 9 is so bad; it's nearly unplayable. Shame on you, Shaker Run. I dearly hope this course finds the leadership to rescue this course and bring it back at least partially to it's former glory.
Hi Matt, thank you for leaving your review on Shaker Run, we are sorry to hear that your booking was mishandled. We really do hope to see you back for another round and let us know what we can do to make it a better round. Please reach out to us so we can sort something out for you on your next round:

Not what it used to be
Great layout, but the conditions are not what they have been in the past. If the conditions improved, it would be a HUGE attraction.
Thank you Madasing for playing at Shaker Run Golf Club. We are happy to hear you loved the layout of the course we are working towards a better Shakar Run. Come back and see us again in the fall season!
Glad you loved the course conditions! See you back real soon, at Shaker Run!
