About this course

Shaker Run Golf Club in Lebanon, Ohio, features thirty-six holes designed by Arthur Hills and opened in the mid-1990s. The facility takes its name from the area's historical connection to the Shaker religious community that once inhabited this part of southwestern Ohio. Hills routed two eighteen-hole courses—Woodlands and Lakeside—across rolling terrain characteristic of the region, incorporating natural elevation changes and mature tree corridors into both layouts. The Woodlands and Lakeside courses share similar design principles but offer distinct playing experiences through their routing and feature emphasis. The Woodlands course moves through more heavily wooded sections of the property, with tree-lined fairways and approach shots that often require accuracy over length. The Lakeside course incorporates more water features into its design, with several holes playing along or across ponds and wetland areas that influence club selection and strategy. Both courses reflect Arthur Hills's approach to public and daily-fee golf design during this period, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough strategic variety to challenge better players. The layouts feature multiple tee boxes, generous fairway widths in landing areas, and greens with moderate undulation. Shaker Run serves as a regional facility in the greater Cincinnati area, hosting local tournaments and league play alongside daily public access.

Getting there

Shaker Run Golf Club sits just thirty minutes northeast of Cincinnati's major commercial hub, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), making the approach refreshingly direct for a club of this caliber. The drive unfolds through the rolling terrain of southwestern Ohio, where suburban corridors gradually yield to the verdant countryside surrounding Lebanon, a town steeped in early American heritage. Private aviation is equally convenient via nearby Cincinnati Municipal Airport (LUF) or Lunken Airport, both within striking distance for those arriving by charter. The final miles carry you through gently wooded terrain into the heart of the club's secluded grounds, where the transition from highway to tree-lined drive signals arrival at one of Ohio's most respected private golf destinations.
