The Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek

The fact that they have become cashless is terrible.

The course is beautiful and well kept, but we got stuck behind an outing that we’re playing super slow and had to stop after 3 hours with only 10 holes played. Can’t do a 6 hour round, really wish we knew we were stuck behind the super slow outing.

I found the course in good condition. It was pretty challenging, but not extremely so. The staff was friendly (starter, ranger, front desk, bag drop). It is a good value for the money. I'll definitely be back.

Played 7/25, not paired. Play this course often. The staff is nice, especially the starters and the cart attendants! Still notice some tee boxes and fairways have burnt looking patches/dead grass. The greens are excellent and depending on time of day can run very fast or slow. Threesome in front were hitting more than one ball at times which slowed the pace of play a bit. Notice golfers not filling in divots(we try to fill a couple or so while waiting) and also need to not ride the carts too close to the tee boxes or greens. Reminder plaques on the carts would help. For the money it is a great course!

Played on 7/23, not paired. We play this course often. It’s been better as far as condition. The cart path needs a lot of attention and now would be advised. There are a few tee boxes and fairways that have burnt looking patches. Not sure what the cause is. The staff is always very nice! Golf carts are electric, no ball/club washers, coolers, or GPS. There are ball washers out on tee boxes. Portajohns were clean but need to assure there is hand cleaner in them. There is a halfway snack shack. The course is a nice challenge for anyone regardless of skill level and nice scenery as well.

Played on 7/15 as a threesome. Carts are electric, no coolers, ball/club washers, or gps but has rain bonnets. Most tee boxes okay, many fairways have burned out areas which is unusual for this course. Greens are good, bunkers are sandy. Not too many ball washers. There are portajohns which have been serviced since 4th of July weekend. Pace of of them lay was good. There is a driving range which was open, chipping green, and a couple of putting greens. Staff was all very nice, especially the cart guys!! Still need to work on a few areas of the cart path! Golfers need to fill/fix their divots and stay back off the greens with the carts.

Cart paths blow. Used to have 150 poles in fairways not sure why removed. Course needs some love. Better than legend though. Shanty need's influx of money new owners need to either do it or look to sell. Falling farther behind Boyne and other courses in area. I love all the shanty courses and have played for 30 plus years. Golf is great just need upgrades

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!

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!

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

Always enjoyed this track. Playable, fair, and scenic! A++

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.

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.
