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.

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!
Schuss mountain
This course is well maintained and the greens were great I would recommend this course
Slow Pace
Played on 6/20, not paired. Front nine went slow but after the turn it slowed a lot. Saw 8 guys on the green that were in front of the twosome in front of us! We were wondering why we had to wait at almost every tee box. Did not see any marshals so called the pro shop to let them know. Saw the marshal shortly after then pace of play picked up but it was a 5hr round. Golfers need to be reminded to fill divots and fix marks ball marks. This course is in great condition and enough of a challenge.
Love this course
Played on 6/18, not paired. Rainy day but not enough to not play. Course in great condition! Golfers need to be more involved in filling divots, fixing marks on the greens, picking up garbage, and run the rake in the bunker after hitting. Pace of play perfect. No beverage cart but a little stopping spot after the 9th under the pro shop. Staff has always been great! Course is enough of a challenge with multiple tee boxes and then the beautiful scenery makes for a great round!
Fantastic Course!
We really like this course! Staff is great, course in excellent condition! It has just enough challenge to it without becoming frustrated! Carts do not have coolers, ball/club washers, or GPS. There are clean portajohns out there. Highly recommend!
Great greens
Course was in peak condition. Played early morning in 3.5 hours. Good pace. They moved cart stand and should have done this a long time ago. Cart boy could be a little more chill. Range is ok. Have fun
Hidden gem
Played Shuah mtn last week. Course is cut out of the pine trees very up north feeling. Price was awesome, had a foursome and played in 3.5 hours. Got some great holes and very little play so great cp ditto .
Wow! That’s the title.
Just an absolutely beautiful course and very well maintained. The views are some of the best I’ve ever played.
