Golf in Shaker Heights

Shaker Heights is one of America's most distinctive planned communities, developed by the Van Sweringen brothers in the early twentieth century as a model garden suburb east of Cleveland whose architectural standards, integrated transportation connection to the city, and social planning made it an influential template for American suburban development. The community's remarkable mix of architectural quality—Tudor, Colonial, and Arts and Crafts homes on curving, tree-lined streets—and the Shaker Heights Country Club's long establishment create a community where recreational traditions are as carefully maintained as the built environment.
