The Legend at Shanty Creek

Great layout with some real challenging holes....lots of uphill shots to the greens....often requiring 1 or 2 clubs extra. Played long after recent rain. Surfaces.....tees and fairways were excellent; greens rolled true and VERY FAST....but with heavy play, numerous ball marks that hadn't been repaired. Great price with a "Hot Deal" on GolfNow.com.

Excellent golf holes, many requiring different shots. Generally the course was in excellent shape - the greens have undulations and several tiers, rolled true but could have been faster. Difficult to determine pin location. Great deal, a must play for the price.

This course was a pleasure to play. Arnie did a great job with this golf course! Beautiful setting & course was in fantastic condition! Loved everything about it!

Great course for the money

This is one of our favorites, saw a great price on golf now and we could not resist. Course was very busy, so play was slow, but the course and weather were worth taking in the views. Will certainly be back for more!!

Dramatic elevation changes, picturesque views and immaculate course conditions earn this course an excellent rating. We played early and had no issues with pace of play because we were the first on the course. I can't address pace of play in normal conditions. It was foggy when we started so we had to send out one player as a spotter on the first hole which we couldn't really appreciate because of the fog. The fog lifted by the third hole, and we really enjoyed the rest of our round. I would like to play this course again if the opportunity arises.

For the average golfer there are some very hard and blind pins. That what makes it hard no to go back to.

I'll keep going back to beat the course.

this was the 2nd 18 of the day, the price was right and the pace of play was perfect. Didn't see anyone until the last two holes

Perfect companion to Cedar River at Shanty. Conditions were excellent and we found everything about the course to be a great experience.

Highly recommend playing this as a match with Cedar River at Shanty.

The Legend at Shanty Creek Resorts is always a fun and challenging course to play. The beautiful vistas of Lake Bellaire on the third and fourth holes never fail to impress. Though we had a bargain rate this time, it is worth the usual cost of $45 to $60. While you are there, also get a round at Cedar River, Hawk's Eye, and if you are up for a real challenge, the Chief.

The course was in GREAT shape for May, which made it an outstanding value for the price! The fairways were lush and the greens receiptive and rolled true. The staff was friendly as always and helpful when one of our players lost a wallet.

This course is in outstanding condition from tee to green. The fairways and greens are pristine. The course offers a wide variety of holes, with elevation changes, water, and spectacular views, including several views of Lake Bellaire. While challenging, it is very fair to even the average golfer. The greens are fast with plenty of break, but the ball rolls true. Overall, the course is a real pleasure to play, especially as the Fall colors come out.

The staff was not participate friendly or welcoming, however; especially the young cart attendant at the start of the round. They could use a little customer service training in my opinion.

Golfed The Legend at Shanty Creek for the first time October 7, 2015.

Course is absolutely beautiful and very fun to play.

We had the course to ourselves with a tee time @ 12:30pm on a Wednesday afternoon.

Each hole brought a new challenge for an average golfer like me.

Through Golfnow.com we got a really reasonable rate. Fall is the perfect time to play a course of this stature.

Very good condition. True Greens. Real nice course to play - can be a little tough if you don't use the fairways!

Other than the pace of play (which stunk.....slow playing 1st timer/resort guests) the Legend was in great shape. Tees, fairways, traps well maintained and the greens were smooth and quick. High handicappers will shoot 20 shots higher easily.....very challenging scenic track routed like a figure eight that's held up well over time....with impeccable conditions!

The course is well maintained. It is challenging. However, we were behind a foursome that had 3 vacant holes in front of them and the rangers would do nothing about it. We played as a threesome, so I realize we were quicker, but really..... it was ridiculous. Over 5 hours for a threesome is a bit much. Would not recommend unless you have a foursome, unfortunately . The ranger made every excuse in the book but failed to do his job.

One of the nicest courses I've played in northern Michigan, I was pretty wet but it has rained a day before. Tough course for 1st play

We played on a Friday afternoon and the course was in great shape considering all the play for the summer. Greens rolled true, but some seemed slower than others. Only saw the bevcart 2 times for 18 holes - both times on the back side.

Nice conditions. Greens roll true and balls stick.

Greens were slow and the bunkers are filled with rocks/gravel, not sand. Our foursome waited on every single shot. No ranger on the course. Schuss Mountain and Cedar River are a WAY better value. I will not be returning to the Legend.
