The Summit at Shanty Creek

We saw how green the Summit was when we played a neighboring course. So, when an excellent hot deal price came up for this course, it was a no brainer. Plays very long from the blue tees, especially the par 3's. The course is in mid season shape and it just opened, so will definitely play again this year

Had some difficuty adjusting to the fast greens.
Fairways very forgiving.

fairways very forgiving.

The greens were smooth and fast. Played the small cups, the large cups were interesting. We didn't see anyone playing the HACK setup.

My grandparents owned a house on the 2nd home for about 25 years, and the "old course" at SC has always had a place in my heart. I took my girlfriend who is just learning there and we played from the forward tees and used the 10 inch cups. We had a great time and this course can be played very easy for beginners or challenging from the tips... $18 with cart in the afternoon is tough to beat... Head down to Shorts in downtown Bellaire afterwards for great food and the BEST craft beer in Michigan!!

Pulling up to the place you are Wow! This is nice... The as we walked inside no one said hi at all... The pro shop guy was just plan RUDE! As like we did not belong there due to the fact we used golf now.. Ok?? Maybe it's just a bad day...Then as we get book in I go back to the car to load up my clubs... Cart guys just down right jerks ... They asked if I would take my clubs out of the car to load them.. I responded I'll load them thank you, they are very expensive... He then proceeded to mumble something and drive away.... Really I have to carry my clubs 250 yards down hill... Thanks.. And one the first hole my buddies bag fell off the cart as it was not strapped in good. Chipped n scratched 2 of his clubs..they didn't care... We have be gone 2 minutes .. Nope don't care , not responsible ...??Course was very nice. Green fairways, slow greens. ... Again it's Sunday and its 88 degrees out... Ok kinda thirsty... Where is the beverage cart??? 9 holes no cart... Then we are ready for another 9... Well still no beverage cart... Really ok... So we get our own.. No coolers so u don't want to get a lot or they beverages get warm.. 9 more holes no beverage cart... Wow... No thank you... Thought the one guy was having , nope staff was well... Under par.. Bad over all. Damaged clubs, bad service... Never again even if it was free....

Course was nice, however foot golf and larger holes took away from the course.

Great course, greens were in excellent condition for being early spring. I will definitely play thus course again. Great rates.

So so course. Nothing special and there are much much better options within 2 miles. Would play as a warm up for other premiere tracks close by.

First time here. Realizing it was the oldest course on the resort, I now understand why it was cheaper. Overall very satisfied, front 9 was faster than the back. Greens were excellent. However, had a 2 some in front walking and would not let us play through. Plus some sort of soccer golf for kids on back. Not complaining, I realize this is family friendly. Would play again.

Had to wait for foursome I front to find balls, and watch poor shots. No consideration to allow us to play through. No course Marshall around to watch flow of golfers. I will never return to the Summit.

This course was in excellent shape and staff was very friendly. The course is pretty open making most shots playable. The challenging part of this course was the green's. Lots of breaks and some right before the cup which caused me to three putt three times in 18 holes. All in all a fun course to play and is in Excellent shape tee to green.

To be able to play 18 holes on a well maintained course for only $18 is the best deal around. My only complaint would be the type of yardage markers. Painted concrete circles? Lack of ball washers was a slight annoyance. Only about 7 on the course.

Great couse, nice fairways and greens, well laid out, well marked, lots of trees but not like a lot of N Mi courses where every hole extremely narrow. Only lost a couple of balls and I'm a bogie golfer. Greens very true, medium speed and well kept. Enjoy!

This course is relatively well maintained. The main problem is that there are very few yardage markers and the cart we had was a death trap! The brakes on the cart hardly worked and the brake lock did not work. The greens are well maintained, but they have 2 holes on each green. One is the real hole, and the other is a giant hole. I came into many situations where the giant hole was interfering with my putt approach to the real pin location. The other issue is that they let foot golfers out on the course at the same time, which really slows down the pace. I will never play this course again, and would not recommend it to anyone.

Tough start with blind shots early and often. Greens were quick but rolled fair. Loved the layout especially the back nine.

A nice course with awesome views.
There were a few "Foot golf" (golf with a soccer ball?) players using the same course though. Also, some greens (3-6 note:
maybe) had 10" wide holes with practice green type flags - in addition to regulation-sized ones.

Shanty Creek Summit is an excellent choice for the older player who hits his drives 200-240 yards. The holes are not overly long, even from the back tees. The terrain is varied with some steep hills to hit over and through. All in all, the three of us had a great day of golf on this course.

we found the Summit Course in very good condition and enjoyed the challenge of the greens. Shanty Creek has done an excellent job in keeping their courses in great shape.

Very enjoyable course. Greens are beautiful and roll true.
Par 3's are tough! Played the Blue Tees and par 3's were 167, 190, 216, 216. They weren't much shorter if you went to the White tees. Nice elevation changes around the course. Overall I would definitely recommend this course. Challenging but fair.

We had a great time from drop off thru pro shop to the finish.
