The Shaker Heights Country Club

Overview: Shaker Heights Country Club's private 18-hole parkland course in Ohio is associated with Donald J. Ross and Grange Alves. The current layout is listed at par 71 and 6,710 yards, with mature trees, shaped greens, and the compact strategic demands of an early twentieth-century suburban course.

History: The first nine holes opened on May 31, 1915, and the second nine followed on July 4 of the same year. The club grew from a break with Euclid Golf Club, and its original construction gave Cleveland-area golf a new private home in Shaker Heights.

Did You Know? The second nine opened on Independence Day in 1915. That opening date is a small but memorable detail from the club's early history and marks the completion of the original 18-hole course.
