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.

Beautiful course indeed
My Wife & I really enjoyed the beauty & layout. Staff was terrific!
Disappointed
Dissatisfied because of slow play. It took us 2 hrs to play 6 holes. It should not be a 6 hour round.
Good time, nice course
Had a great time here in upper Michigan for Memorial Day weekend 2021. Excellent course, Troy was super friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend.
Great
great fairway and greens! Scenic course in great condition!
Beautiful course
I have played Schuss many times over the last 22 years. It has gotten better as time went on. It is maintained meticulously. Guys are working everyday on the course. Greens are large and in great shape. Typically the keep the greens about a 10 ( not too fast) and they run very true. The layout requires using every club in your bag. Lots of dog legs working both left and right. You will enjoy this course and it’s budget price. I think it is way under priced but Shanty really likes having this beauty at a budget price.
Weren’t allowed to social distance with separate carts. Asked for refund and left.
Outstanding Resort Golf!
Played here many times in recent years. Course seems to get better every year. Excellent maintenance of fairways and greens. Real sand in the traps. A pleasure to play.
Slow pace of play
Rangers did not do a good job of keeping the pace of play moving. One group ahead of us was two holes behind the group they were following. Ranger did nothing to help improve this. Will not play this course again
Golf
The course was in great shape. No beer cart but you can’t go wrong
Unsatisfactory
Played there many and always enjoyed Today was a total disaster. After 4 hours we had only completed 13 holes. There was a group of about 15 guys ahead of us who had no respect for golf or others around them. Many people behind us had already quit. We stopped after 13 holes because it was painful.
