Hole 1 Photo submitted by mjbrady on 05/25/2013
Lost its glamour
The condition of the course is not up to previous standards. Tee boxes had many bare or beat up areas. Cart paths were in poor conditions. The greens were slow and inconsistent. Courses near by didn’t show this lack of conditioning.
Annual Trip
Played on 7/3, paired with a couple who only played 9, they were nice. Been coming here every year X 3yrs now and we play this course multiple times. Love the track and the scenery. Everything is very lush and green although a couple of fairways had some brown and dead spots. It was better last summer but still great. Carts are electric but no coolers or GPS. The staff and starters are great! The driving range had been closed due to rain but was open on 7/4. We stay at a condo on the course which makes it convenient. Highly recommend!
Well maintained course
Played as a threesome on a Thursday afternoon.
Rain the day before closed the range and kept carts off the fairways. Several wet areas, with no near areas dry enough to justify a drop. There were a couple tee boxes with no flat ground available to peg it up, which made it difficult to play the shots you would prefer
The fairways and greens were excellent and, even with the recent rain, rules true and such enough. Subtle breaks on the greens kept us on our toes.
All in all, a good course that's worth a pay
Slowest play ever experienced
There were two senior foursomes ahead of ys that we could see and learned that there was a large group playing. After 11 holes we couldn’t take it anymore and left the course.
Value Value
The Summit is a great course for the money. The views are wonderful. The fairways are wide and well taken care of and the pace of play was comfortable. My wife and I played 18 holes in four hours. I’ve played the course (3) times and look forward to many more times.
Could be a premium experience with a little effort.
The course was in great condition except for a couple highly damaged teeboxes, especially hole 10. Staff though made it feel like you were interrupting their day by playing golf. I was ready with tips in hand but got no assistance with bags at any point. The carts also did not have a cooler, which was a bit of a disappointment for such a nice course. This course could do better if they focused on providing the customer with more elevated service.
This course is in great shape!
Always enjoyed this track. Playable, fair, and scenic! A++
Outstanding course. MUST play!!
This course may not be as dramatic as some other higher profile courses in the area, but you will not be disappointed. The course conditions were PGA tour level. It almost seemed like we were the very first group to ever play here. The tees, fairways, and greens were pristine. I've never had so many perfect lies. The greens were stunning! They were perfectly groomed and our putts rolled unbelievably smooth and true. The best part... the greens fees are very reasonable. $45 hot deal! The best value for my money ever. If you have a chance, play here, you will not be disappointed.
Expected Better
For an Arnold Palmer design, I was really expecting more. The tee boxes we used were not in great shape. The staff told us later that because many of the holes were built between ridges that the course stays quite wet, which we noticed right away. The design was OK, but I thought that there were too many sharp dog leg holes especially with the thickness of the surrounding forest.
The course has amazing views!
Elevation changes, green undulations and natural surroundings impress!
Wry bad customer service
Course is in very bad shape.
I’ve been playing here for 20 years. It’s the worst I’ve seen it.
Customer service was exceptionally poor. I’ll never play here again.
Schuss Mountain
This is my favorite course at Shanty Creek. I still think a green fee of $80 is a bit over the top, but it is a good course with challenging dog legs and elevated tee boxes.
Best course they have on the property
Too bad they don’t have the resources to keep that course in the condition it should be in
Summit Review
A beautiful day to spend on this beautiful course. Beautiful views, green grass and wide open fairways
