ARCHITECT – Arthur Hills, a native of Toledo, Ohio, designed Shaker Run Golf Club, which was opened in 1979. The course originally was a private club owned by Armco Steel for its employees. But in 1993 Shaker Run became a daily-fee public facility when Armco sold it. The facility is now managed by Premier Golf Management.

LET'S PLAY 27 – Shaker Run is actually a 27-hole facility, but only the Woodlands and Lakeside nines will be used for the APL. This will be the first USGA championship hosted by the course.
