Excellent Choice

Shaker has gone through some tough times, but new ownership and management is bringing this wonderful course back. Great value. Terrific layout, with a very tight back nine. Greens are excellent. You need to play smart positional golf, especially on the back nine. Clubhouse has gotten a makeover and the food is very good. Give it a try, you will not be sorry and you can’t beat the price. I’ve played there several times and have not been disappointed, you won’t either.

Terrible and unprofessional staff

We had a tee time for 8:30, showed up to the course at 8, just to be early. The course superintendent come out of the club house and tell me he is closing the course for the day because of the possibility of rain, it drizzled for 20 min and stopped. I told him that made a reservation online and asked how I get a refund, his response was "That's something you are going to have to figure out on your own, you didn't book with us, it's not my problem." We ended up going to a different local course and played 18. I will not be playing here.

Unique Layout

I played on a Hot Deal. Basically the price of a bucket of balls.

Layout is one of a kind and cool. Greens were very good. Fairways and tees were rough, but I knew that going in.

It was a lot of fun. Played in under 3 walking.

If you’re not concerned about aesthetics and like unique layout, definitely recommended!!

Trying hard to make a comeback

Nice old golf course with a good layout that has some fun and challenging holes. Greens are back in in good shape. Main issue at Shaker is the fairways. The front nine unfortunately needs a tremendous amount of time money and effort to repair while the back 9 is coming back and could see that being ok by the end of next spring…So bottom line is if you don’t mind playing less than pristine fairways Shaker farms has nice people there and a good layout and with some great deals on GOLFNOW it’s worth supporting the comeback efforts that are going there .

Shaker worth taking a look at!

I haven’t played Shaker in almost a decade but I took a chance and decided to try it as I like playing different courses. The rough wasn’t too long, fairways were pretty decent with some dryness which is to be expected and the greens and fringes were in great shape. I would highly recommend trying Shaker as I felt the condition and the value was well worth it. Additionally, the pro staff member was fantastic.

Sad to see decline

I was a member of Shaker Farms in the 80’s when it was a private club. The course declined significantly when it went public. For the last several years I give the course one try each year to see if it has made a comeback. Sadly, the course is sorely neglected. Bare patches and weeds in fairway. Patches of dirt on some of the greens. I have always loved the layout but the course has fallen into disrepair and does not seem to be improving.

Very nice

Very nice course. I had a ton of fun.

I like when a course isn't using too many chemicals; and this course maintains a lot of the nature that surrounds the land.

Very fun. Longer front nine that feels more links-style and a fun back 9 that feels more resort-style.

I hope to play here more often.

Not worth your money.

The conditions of this course are abysmal, to say the least. I can't tell the difference between the fairways and the rough. Greens are terrible. Not easy to get around. It seems like people drive all over this course, with barely any car paths. The front nine have a lot of potential with three par 5's and huge dog legs. But the conditions are just terrible—a big turn off.

Fun layout!

The course has a very nice layout for any golfer. Conditions are a bit beaten. Tee boxes need work, along with some fairways. But for the price and layout it’s a Winner!
