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.

nice greens
The green conditions were excellent. My wife and I used Golf Now and paid $20 per 18 with a cart. You can' t beat that.
migolf
Friendly staff. Course in excellent shape.Greens average speed and very smooth. Plenty of hazards without being overwhelming.
Basic Welll Maintained Resort Golf Course
The course is a good solid resort course; front nine flat and relatively uninteresting; back nine much more interesting with substantial elevation changes. Very well maintained.
The nicest greens at Shanty Creek
Overall this was a nice course. Be prepared to play some severe dog legs. 10 of the 18 holes are dog leg right or left holes. It was very playable and the greens were exceptional.
easy to get to and nice club house
greens and fairways were very nice had a very nice round of golf
Well maintained course
We found the course to be very well maintained; we enjoyed our experience and played in just under 4 hours. We were paired with two other golfnow players - overall a pleasant round.
very nice course playable for the novice as well as experienced golfer.
Nice maintained course, staff were friendly, no problems with reservation and started on time, playable for the novice golfer as well as experienced golfer, Had difficulty finding the course as GPS sent me to the main lodge instead of to the course. Only problem was no cart lady on course and temp was in the 90's the day we golfed, water on the course helped. Able to call in order at the turn but was backed up due to large group in front of us. Overall nice experience would recommend to a friend.
Great Course, Good Value
Seems like every hole is a dog leg left. Other than that, was very good and worth the money.
Wooded layout with large, fast greens
This course is a very nice break from some of the really high-priced resort courses. Playable yet challenging. Get to use of every club in the bag.
Add this one to your list to play
Very nice course the front 9 is a little flat and straight forward but wait to you get to the back!!! The layout changes drastically lots of nice elevation changes, dog legs, and it opens up a little more than the front. You got to play this one we did (27 holes).
Great variety of holes
We played this course once and found the front 9 were easier to play, The back was scenic and a little harder for us anyway.
great course...would love to play again
it was a great course.....I loved playing it...i would love to go and play it again.
