Shanty Creek

Well, we have not played this course in 15 years so they had customer appreciation going for $35 and I actually got a better deal on GolfNow so we’re two of us. We paid 41 bucks if you can believe it where they usually charge 100 bucks for in the summertime each, which I will not do sorry but anyway the course is in great shape just as hilly and Challenging as ever, but just beautiful and the homeless blend in very nicely.

It was very busy all the teatime for taking up so we went out with another couple and it worked out really great very nice people and it was about a 4 1/2 hour round which is almost normal beautiful cool Wednesday afternoon And thoroughly enjoyed. It played from the white switch. Was all that I need anymore used to play from the blues, but yeah, had a great time in winter to Hawkeye the next day.

Oxide was independent up until a few years back we played that once my buddy and I 10 years ago and they have Done a nice job there we got started late with a frost delay there I took a five hour round but from what I remember, yeah Hawkey a little more tricked up, but I had a great time great weather and thank you for shining Creek for putting on a good price for even a slow and then earners can still afford to play once in a while

I haven’t played this course in 15 years and they had a special goal for $35 this October customer appreciation so we booked that bus actually got a bigger discount on GolfNow but we got hooked up with another husband and wife team and a gentleman and I played for the White, which was a challenge at 6000 yards but I was very happy shooting a 92 and the layout and elevation changes in overall conditioning is just fabulous. It’s just as good as I remember being playing here in close to 20 years ago came up four years in a row. They used to have such a package where you could pay less than 100 bucks and get a night lodging and all the golf you could play unbelievable But yeah the course conditions are fantastic. We both enjoyed it and got paired up with a nice couple so we had a good time good electric power carts, not gas, which is good nice and quiet. The foliage was just turning not peak, but still pretty nice and had a great time. What can I say? I don’t think we’re gonna pay $100 each to play here but if you got the money that’s up to you but anyway we’ll see you next time. Yes very good time and worth a trip for sure especially for 35 bucks or less each

I actually played Hawkeye today the day after and we like Cedar River better than oxide spent 10 years since I played Hawkeye, but I think Hawkeye is tricked up a little bit. They really tried to make it harder than that Should be a lot of sand traps and just a lot of trouble to get into but Cedar River is a little bit more straightforward.

It was a fantastic deal with their October pricing. Best value in Northern Michigan. Our only criticism is they have allowed their first cut roughly to grow too long and when combined with leaves falling made it very difficult to find a ball only 2 feet from the fairway.

Greens and fairways in good condition. Bachelor party in front of us playing scramble was pretty slow . 4 hrs 15 round . Should be 4 hours . No drinking water on course- ridiculous. Grumpy halfway house guy. Worth playing .

Very enjoyable golf course. Very scenic. Got a bit bunched up on the back nine so a slow round but overall I’d go back and play the course again.

Went through with my son and only had a chance to play one course out of the group. Very happy with our decision and we had a great time.

The greens were challenging and some of the tea boxes could use a little bit of TLC, but if I have a chance, I would definitely play here again!

Understand now why it was so cheap to play here. Moldy smell in club house including what looks to be black mold on bathroom ceilings! No beverage cart - tee boxes tore up and not maintained. Just overall poor maintenance at this course and surprised since tHawks Eye is so nice.

We were staying in Traverse City so it was an hour drive for us. The driving range and putting green were not close to each other so you have to allow extra time to go back and forth. That all being said the course is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. Each hole felt special. This was a very challenging course with large tricky greens. The fairways are fringed with a thick cut grass that makes it difficult but not impossible to find your ball if you keep an eye on where you landed. I shot 5 over my handicap but truly enjoyed every minute.

Unreal layout top 5 courses iv ever played def play again

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.

Very nice course. Beautiful layout and scenery. You can tell this once was a gem. However course conditions left a lot to be desired. There were a few spots in fairways a greens that had dead spots that would make Arnold Palmer roll over in his grave. Lack of ball washers and trash cans was shocking. But the biggest issue with course conditions was definitely the clientele. Seemed like nobody would fix their divets in the fairway or pitch marks on the greens. Tee boxes were all chewed up. You could tell the course was filled with a bunch of drunk rowdy golfers that had no respect for a beautiful course.

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?

Great course, fast greens. Downfall is the tee boxes chewed up
