Great Track

Shale creek is one of my favorite course in NE Ohio. The course is always in great shape and surprisingly the pace of play has been great the last couple times I have had a chance to play it.

Definitely a must play

Staff couldn’t of been nicer. From the guy at the pro shop and Ron on the first tee, to the beer cart and staff. Course was very challenging but still had a easy feel to it. Lots of narrow fairways, water and fast greens. Carts have gps and sand on them and the course is spread out so your not really side by side with anyone. Great staff, great pace and even better course

Always enjoyable

Booked a tee time online arrived about 40 min early went to the range had time to hit a few shots before going to the putting range to practice .The starter was checking in with me and advising me of my time before the first tee . Waited for the group in front of me to Make it to the green then started my round .Was able to play my round with no delays moved from hole to hole with only a 10 min wait at the turn . They had a cart person working and was available for beverages all day long .Rob the club pro has really done a great job over the years really one of the best places to play for the money

Shale Creek is fun Layout

If I could putt I would have shot 76, but no blame on greens or course conditions. Fellow golfers need to repair ball marks, but greens are fast & nice. As a single, I joined a couple of other guys for an enjoyable afternoon round.......and Thanx to GolfNow for the Hot Deals special. It's nice to have range balls included, so get there early to hit a few before they count. The day has perfect weather, and Blue Tees were playing on the short side. I'll be back!

Surprisingly Unfortunate

In my last trip, I maybe experienced the worst type of players who I am sure were members. The following made me never want to return to this place. Myself along with two other players started the day, patiently waiting and enjoying our time. But I noticed we were finished with holes 5,6, and 7, before the group in front even left the next tee box. We were actually driving to the tee box before they pulled away. On certain holes, they had ball retrievers out searching for balls in the water and long grass… as we were forced to wait. I called the pro shop to make them aware of the situation, while the entire course was backed up behind us…. Nothing was done. We even combined 5 guys on holes 8 and 9… AND STILL WAITED for our drives and approach shots. We eventually just skipped a hole out of frustration and probably finished an hour sooner. It’s just unfortunate because it really is a nice course, I’ve just never experienced such poor etiquette on the course. Whoever was closest to the 9:00 tee time august 18th. Again, sure they are members, but this is just repulsive. Sorry.
