The Quarry in Canton and Shale Creek in Medina continue to earn top honors. From Best Burger with a View to being named a Best New Course in 2008 by Golfweek magazine, The Quarry Golf Club is making a name for itself as a premier golf destination in northeast Ohio.
Not even two-years-old, The Quarry has already captured many other prestigious golf awards including:
• Ohio Top 10, Best Courses You Can Play, 2008, 2009, Golfweek magazine
• Best Ohio Golf Course, 2008, Golfl ink.com
• Ranked #2 above Little Mountain, Firestone, Canterbury, Longaberger, etc.
• Ohio’s 100 Must Play Courses, 2007, 2008, Golf Styles Ohio magazine
• Top Five Golf Course, Akron-Canton and Cleveland HOTLIST, WJW FOX 8
And the awards aren’t just limited to the golf course either. If you’re hungry after a round of golf, stop by the 23,000 square foot clubhouse for some award-winning food. Winning the Gold Medal from the Canton Restaurant Association in the Stark County Food Show, The Quarry was voted Best Overall Food Presentation, Best Overall Taste and Best New Facility.
“We are so proud of the awards we have received. Word seems to have traveled fast that we are providing a quality destination location and we have been busy since day one. We don’t sell rounds of golf at The Quarry, but a golf experience” said Gary Miller, General Manager, The Quarry Golf Club.
Developed by Granite Golf Properties, The Quarry is located just minutes from Canton and an easy drive from Akron, Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh. Built on an old quarry dating back to the 1800’s, the course combines the landscape of Arizona, the lakes and marshes of South Carolina, the wild grasses of the Great Lakes and the stunning elevation changes of the Appalachians. One hundred-foot cliffs, rock outcroppings, natural waste areas, deep water lakes and mature native trees have created northeast Ohio’s most unique golf community venue.
Another award winning course developed by Granite Golf Properties is
Shale Creek Golf Club in Medina County. In 2007 and 2008 Golf Styles
Ohio magazine named Shale Creek one of Ohio’s 100 Must Play Courses. In
2008 OhioGolfGuide. com ranked the course among the Top 25 Public
Courses in Ohio. Located just minutes from I-71, it is easily
accessible to golfers in Cleveland, Akron, Medina and the surrounding
areas. The York Township course is built on beautiful rolling land with
many small streams that wind through the property and cascade into the
Rocky River.
