Shanty Creek

We have played Cedar River at different times throughout the years and it is always in pristine shape. The course is great for players of all levels. Most favorite of all is the beautiful scenery.

Decided to play this course at last minute while in the gaylord area.Golf now had a hotdeal midday on a sunday.Arrived about an hour and a half early after a 4 hour car ride to get there.Check in staff saw it was my wife and I as a two some.They had a larger group heading out in about 20 minutes and they asked if we wanted to go out before them or wait.We said we would go...THANK YOU!! We took off and were behind a 3 some that were in no rush.Course pace is 15min per hole and we ended up right on that time when finished.Might have been 15 to 30 min faster if not for the slower group in front.But to be honest this course is a feast for the eyes!! Simply stunning...hole after hole.Overall conditions were excellent...only knock is that Sandrtraps were a bit rocky.A decent amount of small to med pebbles were my only negative on this course.Greens were undulating and quick...a real challenge but fun and fair.A course at this price level...90.00 ish on weekends or more could look to improve sand conditions.A 4.5 hour round goes by quick when you are playing a course that has a little of everything...including plenty of elevation changes to treat those who take on the challenge.Highly recommend.If you can get it booked under 75.00..don't think twice..less than stellar sand traps or notf

Perfect weather. Greens immaculate as rest of course. Dry in mich but couldn’t tell it by schuss! Great day of golf with no pace problems on a weekend. … unlike chief last week. Great value at 60!

Greens and fairways good condition. Cart paths a rough ride.

Love Hawks Eye and play here every year on our Bellaire vacation. Course was in great shape and it seemed like we had the course to ourselves.

Very friendly staff, course is in great condition and beautiful scenery

Many bad spots in the fairways so if you don’t mind moving you ball a foot or so you’ll enjoy your round. Pricing reflects the condition. Lot of elevation changes.

Played this course a number of times. Great layout, great views. However a number of wet soft areas where carts and maintenance equipment made ruts.

The course was in great condition because of recent rain fall. The fairways were clean, the greens were fair and quick. The fairways had ample room to hit one side or the other (who hits the middle!). From the white, a couple holes were long - 411 par four, and 510 par 5 - us old people have trouble hitting the green in regulation on the par 4. One par 5 was only 418 but needed the hits to be in the right place.

Fairways and greens were not the best quality, but overall a fair value for the price.

The course and layout were fantastic, but the pace of play was extremely slow and no ranger was on site to get teams to pick up the pace.

This is a beautiful scenic court with plenty of changes in elevation. Also has a full practice area to work in your game. Holes can be challenging but aren’t tricked out. This a regular stop for us when we are in the area.

The course was in very good shape and has a nice layout. Not overly challenging for a high handicap golfer like me, but still plenty challenging. Staff was friendly and helpful, from starter to ranger to snack shop to beer cart girl. A beautiful day! Can't wait to play again.

Amazing day! 4.7🌟 course. Conditions we’re perfect; pace of play was amazing finishing under 4 hrs.

Layout of the 18 holes ia optimal for all golfing levels.

Disappointed the grille wasn’t open. 1/2 way house was open.

Really enjoyed the day! Staff aurora friendly and welcoming.

A “must” play.
