Lakeside/Meadows Course
Shaker Run Golf Club

About this course
Shaker Run Golf Club opened in 1993 in Lebanon, Ohio, designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry during the early phase of their notable partnership. The facility features two distinct eighteen-hole courses—Lakeside and Meadows—that showcase the design team's approach to working with varied terrain in southwestern Ohio. The property sits in Warren County, roughly thirty miles northeast of Cincinnati, in an area where rolling farmland transitions into more dramatic topography. The Lakeside and Meadows courses occupy different portions of the property and offer contrasting playing experiences. The Lakeside routing incorporates water features and lower-lying areas, while the Meadows course moves through more elevated, open terrain with wider fairway corridors. Both courses reflect Hurdzan and Fry's design philosophy from this period, which emphasized strategic options, varied green complexes, and playability for a range of skill levels. The layouts make use of natural elevation changes and incorporate native grasses and naturalized areas that frame the playing corridors. Shaker Run operates as a public facility and has served as a regional venue for amateur competitions and collegiate events over the years. The club's name references the Shaker religious community that historically inhabited parts of Warren County. The courses provide a representative example of daily-fee golf design from the 1990s, when architects increasingly focused on creating memorable public-access layouts that could compete with private club experiences in terms of conditioning and strategic interest.

Getting there
Shaker Run Golf Club sits just thirty minutes northeast of Cincinnati's major commercial hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), accessible via a straightforward drive through the rolling countryside of southwestern Ohio that gradually transitions from suburban corridors into the serene, wooded terrain of Warren County. For those arriving by private aircraft, the nearby Lebanon-Warren County Airport provides a discreet alternative touchdown, positioning guests mere minutes from the club's entrance. The final approach winds through the quiet, manicured landscape surrounding the property, where the transition from open road to the club's gated grounds signals arrival at one of the region's most refined private golf destinations.
