The Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek
Rating Snapshot
About
In the colder months, Shanty Creek is a winter wonderland complete with more than 50 ski runs, but in the summer it offers 72 holes of championship golf. Shanty Creek's four golf courses are all distinct. The Schuss Mountain Course was ranked as one of the top public courses in the state. The layout offers a two-in-one package with a front nine that is mostly flat and a back nine that features dramatic elevation changes. The fairways are generous but bordered by dense forests. The layout also features abundant wetlands that come into play. The greens are lightning fast and there are many that are open in front, allowing easier approaches. It is no wonder this scenic and challenging course is one of northern Michigan's most popular golf courses.

Great Golf!
Played again on 7/5, just two of us. Lots of dew so no roll out in the fairways but the greens were good! Staff is always excellent! Driving range open now. A couple of thoughts for attention 1) the porta toilets need emptying and cleaning 2) some areas of the cart paths are crumbling and broken up causing carts to drive around and now creating some deep ruts and torn up green grass areas. Still a great track and mostly well groomed!
Annual Trip
Played on 7/3, paired with a couple who only played 9, they were nice. Been coming here every year X 3yrs now and we play this course multiple times. Love the track and the scenery. Everything is very lush and green although a couple of fairways had some brown and dead spots. It was better last summer but still great. Carts are electric but no coolers or GPS. The staff and starters are great! The driving range had been closed due to rain but was open on 7/4. We stay at a condo on the course which makes it convenient. Highly recommend!
Well maintained course
Played as a threesome on a Thursday afternoon.
Rain the day before closed the range and kept carts off the fairways. Several wet areas, with no near areas dry enough to justify a drop. There were a couple tee boxes with no flat ground available to peg it up, which made it difficult to play the shots you would prefer
The fairways and greens were excellent and, even with the recent rain, rules true and such enough. Subtle breaks on the greens kept us on our toes.
All in all, a good course that's worth a pay
This course is in great shape!
Always enjoyed this track. Playable, fair, and scenic! A++
Outstanding course. MUST play!!
This course may not be as dramatic as some other higher profile courses in the area, but you will not be disappointed. The course conditions were PGA tour level. It almost seemed like we were the very first group to ever play here. The tees, fairways, and greens were pristine. I've never had so many perfect lies. The greens were stunning! They were perfectly groomed and our putts rolled unbelievably smooth and true. The best part... the greens fees are very reasonable. $45 hot deal! The best value for my money ever. If you have a chance, play here, you will not be disappointed.
Schuss Mountain
This is my favorite course at Shanty Creek. I still think a green fee of $80 is a bit over the top, but it is a good course with challenging dog legs and elevated tee boxes.
Schuss Mountain
Course was really in great shape, and well worth it. Greens are small, but course is open. Really enjoyed the day.
Staff was really great and welcoming. Grill team was super nice.
Only suggestion would be to offer a course map showing where water hazards reside. Kind of tricky on 18 having water on both sides, but not really able to see it.
Love this course…only one issue
Schuss is a great course with excellent conditions. We have come to northern Michigan to play golf every summer for 30 years and Schuss is always high on our list. Our only concern this year was we had a 7:10 tee time and by #10 we passed the green mower. So the back nine greens were not mowed on a heavy dew morning. Putting was difficult with the lack of consistency. Can’t this be handled with better timing and mower scheduling?
Excellent value
. Good shape, strong par 3s. Excellent layout. Scenic for the price. Great value.
Greens perfect. Fun layout. Water too much in some areas.3 hrs 30 minutes.
Friend and I got a GolfNow deal for $55 at 8am Fairways soggy in some areas but greens perfect. I really like the back nine variety of holes with elevation changes, woods, and some fairly open holes. Whomever is taking care of the greens should get a raise - rarely find an unrepaired ball mark. Staff friendly,, halfway house good breakfast sandwich. Pace of play 3 hrs 30 minutes! Will be back!
