Reviews
Beautiful course, friendly staff!
Course is beautiful and the staff were excellent. From the woman behind the bar to the starter, we had nothing but a great experience at this course!
The course is beautiful, only some issues with staff
Came here with a group of women alumni collegiate golfers for our first annual reunion trip. We played here the first day. This was one of the most pretty and scorable golf courses shanty creek has to offer and it was overall a fun track!
Unfortunately, a sour taint started off our weekend when we experienced an incredibly rude ranger who came up to our groups to address pace of play. We had been waiting every hole all day on the group of guys in front of us. The ranger came up to us (women) and said we needed to keep up. We attempted to tell him we’d been waiting on every hole, even on the very hole he came up to us as the guys were still on the green of a par 3. We asked him if we should start hitting into them or play through them and he scoffed said “you all wouldn’t play fast enough” he also made our first group hold up three fingers and say scouts honor we had waited every hole. One of our group players afterwards went to the men’s group ahead of us to ask if they had been told by the ranger to play faster or keep good pace of play and they said no… our group has dealt with the stereotype of women golfers before, but this was one of the worst. The slamming of the clip board on the windshield of the cart and the condescending tone brought tears of frustration to some of us and unavoidable anger to others.
However, Isaac who works by the carts was amazing!! He put us in a better mood before we left and he handled our complaints with class.
Love this course.
Lots of great views and certainly challenged you to make choices. Pace of play was slow, but otherwise it was awesome.
Really nice course, strange layout on the back 9 at Summit- could use more markers, especially for first time players- but I would recommend and play again if I was in the area
Excellent Condition
Don’t have to be a scratch golfer to enjoy this course. One of the courses in the complex that anyone can play. But, there are challenges for the better players as well.
The course is challenging but a lot of fun. In great shape and super nice people working there. Cheers
Great course with Beautiful Views
The course is beautiful, heavily wooded course with rolling hills and some severe elevation changes that made the course fun to play. It was in great shape and the service was very good. One of the best values in the area, I highly recommend this course!
Beautiful course
Very scenic, In great shape and very playable. Could use better directions from hole to hole, like some arrows to send you in the right direction to the next hole. Occasionally guessed wrong but never really got too lost.
Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are sorry to hear your customer service experience was not up to par. Please reach out to our management team at (231) 533-2020, and thanks for visiting The Cedar River at Shanty Creek. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
We had a group of women and one gentleman in our group!
