Shady Hollow Country Club is a parkland-style course located in Northeast Ohio, United States, founded in 1925. The course was originally designed by William F. Mitchell and has undergone two significant redesigns: the first in 1950 by Ron Force, and the second in 1990 by Brian Huntley. The club has operated continuously since its founding, fostering a member-focused environment over its centennial history.
Stretching to 6,799 yards from the Blue tees, the course carries an official course rating of 72.7. The layout is described as a challenge for players of all abilities, with notable green complexes and consistent playing conditions cited as defining characteristics of the course. The terrain is characteristic of northeastern Ohio, with tree-lined fairways contributing to the course's playing character.
In 2019, the club completed a full bunker renovation, followed by extensive tree removal carried out between 2019 and 2020. These works represent the most recent significant alterations to the course's infrastructure and presentation. Practice facilities include a full-service golf shop, a large practice range, a chipping area, and a putting green.
