My Experience
First time to play the course - played during the week with a 11:20 tee time as a single. Got to the course early, told starter I could go whenever - he said everything was booked until my time. Went to first tee, I am a single - they put the twosome out 20 minutes ahead of me! There I was - playing behind groups of 4 - 2.5 hour front nine. Played front again just to get golf in - too many good choices in this area to play there again!
Great Course
I always enjoy playing this course. There are some holes you can go for and other holes you have to play smart. A good challenging course.

Conditions of greens
Paid $60 to play a Sunday afternoon round. Course layout is not bad and greens were challenging. Fun course to play outside of the greens condition. Tons of pitch marks and looked like a kindergarten class did a dance recital on the greens. Zero chance of making putts as nothing rolled correctly or pure. With all the rain we have received those greens should have been awesome like everywhere else I play. Sad cause the course is nice and challenging. Will not play here again

Beautiful Layout
We play this course a couple of times per year. Appreciated the free range balls. The course is a challenging layout with enough water and traps to get your attention. Our only complaint was the greens. They were overly firm and didn’t hold at all. We’d definitely would go back, but would like to see the greens a little more receptive.

Challenging
Great course! You will use almost every club in your bag. Staying in the fairway is numero uno. Staff is great. Will be back again and again.

I played this course as part of a golf trip to/around the Cleveland area in late May 2023. This course was included on our itinerary based on its listing as a Top Course by Golf Advisor.
PACE: It was a busy Saturday, but with 10-minute tees the course moved just fine. It did bunch up a bit towards the end, but we still came in at 4 hours.
CONDITIONS: Everything was good. Played with a 2some who played here before and said the course needed a big drink of water. I would agree. There were brown and burnout spots all over. The tees and green were okay. The pace of the greens was fair. The bunkers had a lot of pebbles in them.
STAFF: Pro shop and starter were very helpful.
VALUE: The greens fee seemed good for a Saturday afternoon.
LAYOUT: Played the Blue tees (6,300). This is a sub-division course that winds thru a housing community. The front 9 has longer holes with wider fairways and areas to miss. For the back 9, holes #10 thru #14 pack a lot of golf into a smaller area of land. It's fun, but keep your head on a swivel as several errant shots came close to us. Good variety of holes, and I used every club in my bag. Given the distance between some of the holes, I would not recommend walking this course (#2 to #3 is over a quarter-mile).

Throw in the fact that it was absolutely perfect weather with just enough wind to challenge you, Shale Creek never disappoints. Two thumbs up. 👍 👍

One of My Favorites
I've played most of the public access courses over the years and created my own personal 'rota' of the favorites. Shale Creek owns a top slot among the most preferred venues. It's all right in front of you. It's fun and more than fair. Do your part, that would be hit the golf ball, and you'll likely have a scorecard you can proudly take home and show to Mom. Not tricky or quirk some, Shale is very straight-forward. It's putting surfaces, (whenever I've played, they've been in great shape.) along with a handful of water hazards provide the greatest challenge to scoring. Keep it dry, roll it true, and you'll be well positioned to have a very good golf experience at Shale Creek.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, 1952Cassie! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Shale Creek Golf Club.

I'm not sure how long you've been playing golf, but if it's been awhile then you should know that unfortunately, Aces have no rights. While it's annoying, I don't see anything wrong with what the golf course did. You should have asked if you could play with the twosome.
