course was in great shape and very challenging from the back tees. but managemen problems made the day less than it should have beent

Staff were very friendly and course was in great shape but the owners/managers were in a fued with the resort owners so there was no club house, resturant or bar facility. The pro shop/starter house was a temperory office trailer and there was no beverage cart, food or alcohol available for the guests. The day could have been a great experience but was simply a day of golf with no other fun features.

Enjoyed the course.. Good condition.. Every hole is different..

My wife and I played the SC Legend in Sept. 2012 and booked an afternoon special through Golf Now. The course was in great condition and we were very pleased with the experience. We are planning to visit the area again next year and play the other SC courses (if the price is right).

Pristine, well managed, attention to detail, great value

One of the best courses out there. It is well worth the trip. A top notch course with top notch attentiveness. Well designed layout, impeccably groomed, challenging but fair, and an incredible value. They treat you like a king. Don't miss your chance to play this gem.

Well maintained and a great track

My favorite at the Shanty Creek complex. A lot of fun to play with a wide variety shots you can play. It is always in great shape.

Great Design with Potential

This course was a fairly young course but with its designs and unique character, it definitely has potential to be something special. When the greens mature and their condition are thinly cut, it could be a very difficult course for your short game. Would certainly re-visit when I go back to Northern Michigan.

Certainly Met My Expectations

This Arnold Palmer designed golf course was one of my favorites in the Bellaire, Michigan area. This course was both long and tight and at times had my game hitting shots I never had played before. Will certainly play when I head back out to Northern Michigan.

You just can't beat this course for the price

This is part of a 4 course complex - the Summit is the cheapest to play, but still worth the time.

This is one of the most beautiful courses in Northern Michigan. Every hole is a treat for the eyes.

I try to bring my golfing guests to play Hawkeye because of it sheer beauty. Everyone should play it if they have a chance.
