Meadows/Woodlands Course
Shaker Run Golf Club

About this course
Shaker Run Golf Club sits in Lebanon, Ohio, a community northeast of Cincinnati known for its historic downtown and rolling countryside. Designed by Arthur Hills and opened in the mid-1990s, the facility features 27 holes divided into three nines—Meadows, Woodlands, and Lakeside—allowing for three distinct 18-hole combinations. The Meadows/Woodlands pairing represents one of these rotations, blending the open, links-influenced character of the Meadows nine with the more tree-lined, traditional parkland feel of the Woodlands. Hills, a prolific Ohio-based architect, typically emphasizes strategic variety and playability across skill levels. At Shaker Run, the Meadows nine tends to feature wider fairways, native grasses, and greater exposure to wind, while the Woodlands nine incorporates mature trees, tighter corridors, and more intimate hole settings. The property's natural topography provides moderate elevation change, and water hazards appear throughout the routing. The combination offers contrast within a single round, asking players to adapt their approach from open, ground-game opportunities to more aerial, target-oriented shots. Shaker Run operates as a public facility and has served as a regional tournament venue in southwestern Ohio. The club maintains a reputation for conditioning and accessibility, drawing both local members and visiting golfers. The clubhouse and practice facilities support the 27-hole layout, and the course remains a fixture in the area's public golf landscape.

Getting there
Shaker Run Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside northeast of Cincinnati, accessible via Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), roughly forty minutes south by car through the transition from urban sprawl into the pastoral farmland and wooded terrain that defines southwestern Ohio. The drive itself traces a gentle northeastward arc from the airport, departing the interstate for quieter state routes that wind past open fields and tree-lined ridges, each mile drawing you deeper into the serene landscape that surrounds the club. Private aviation options are available through nearby regional facilities, though the ground approach remains the true introduction to Shaker Run's character - a final stretch of country roads that deliver you to the club's gates with a sense of arrival earned through the quiet beauty of the journey itself.
