Shanty Creek

Love this course. Very good value. Pace of play was not good. Waited on every shot. Wish people would play quicker around the greens.

Booked the course to play for our vacation, the staff was very impressive and friendly, course conditions were great. Fairways, greens and tee boxes were in great shape. Only complaint would be that a few of the bunkers were a little wet and played more like clay than sand. Other than that no complaints at all. We had a great time, on a truly beautiful course.

Course was in good shape and a beautiful round. Greens were a little slower than anticipated but rolled true. Tees were flat for the most part and staff was excellent

Course in excellent condition. A tad slow in the beginning, but after a couple groups left after 9 holes we breezed through.

Excellent facilities and staff. Course was immaculately manicured. Fairways were wide enough for the casual golfer but afforded advantages for a well placed shot. Greens were fast but also held long irons. I would recommend this course to all levels. A top ten public course in the state of Michigan.

Even though the weather was terrible, the day was great because the course was in great shape and the layout is challenging and fun! We will be back.

We had a great round at The Summit. It's not as picturesque as Cedar River, Hawks Eye, or The Chief, but it's a nice little course for the money. Staff is super friendly and helpful too.

With the hot dry weather Cedar River was playing firm and fast. In great shape as well. One of my favorite courses in the whole wide world I never get tired of playing Cedar River.....it's spectacularly designed and just plain fun to play. Especially knowing just how to route your ball for maximum rollout. This is a Weiskopf gem that's not to be missed if you are in the area. A must play each and every time I venture to Northern Michigan. 4.5 stars. Highly Recommended.

At least a ten to fifteen minute wait on every hole. Nine holes took over three hours.

Over the past 3 decades I've probably played Arnie's Legend at least 30 times. That being said I took a 5 year hiatus from it.....with so many other options in the area it just didn't get put on the agenda for some reason. The Legend is always a challenge....a figure 8 routing and some really difficult green complexes to navigate. Overall the course is in decent shape however there were still old green aeration marks (looked to be from last fall but surfaces were running smooth) and also noticed some diseased areas of some greens. The Legend simply put is getting a tad "long in the tooth" with age. It desperately needs a solid rehab or renovation in a number of areas. Especially the cart paths.....many are crumbling and for a resort course of this stature it's really been neglected. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy playing Legend but Shanty needs to pay attention and invest some funds in to what was their featured 18 holes years ago....otherwise they'll start getting real push back for what they charge to play it. It's a 50/60 course at most right now....definitely not towards the c-note range. The clubhouse/bathroom facilities for the Legend/Summit courses are also is old, smelly and tired. The pretty Legend flower logo in the hillside at the first tee only goes so far guys. Recommend play however Cedar River (and now Hawk's Eye) are the courses not to miss at Shanty. 3.75 stars. Legend is downgraded from my 4 star plus plus previous reviews.

My Wife & I really enjoyed the beauty & layout. Staff was terrific!

This course is so scenic and is always kept in great shape. This is a must when you are in Shanty Creeks.
