Shanty Creek

Greens were fast on the day we played and the course has water features I didn’t expect. Beautiful course and I will play it again this Fall.

We really enjoyed our round here. The course was challenging but fair, with a layout that kept us thinking on every hole. Pace of play was excellent — never felt rushed or held up. Facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly. The course itself is absolutely gorgeous, with scenic views throughout. We’ll definitely be back.

While the course was in good condition, the pace of play was extremely slow. The marshalls did not move things along and it took almost 6 hours to play. That being said, it's a great course for all skill levels as its 5 tee boxes can help you adjust easily. The greens were slow for a course of this caliber. The course looked well used. The views were wonderful and the ups and downs of northern michigan golf were fantastic. If you like golf, you have to try the legend. Maybe just play on the weekdays and twilights to avoid the crowds.

Loved the coarse. Wide open fairways and scenics with lots of undulating. Only negative for me was the sand traps more like gravel traps BUT I am spoiled being from Florida. Will play again. This and the Tribute in Gaylord my two favorite thus far on this golf vacation. Not playing the high dollar GC

Me and two others were fortunate to play Cedar River Golf Course at Shanty Creek resort. The staff was very friendly upon arrival, check in was easy and we were off. When we got to the first tee, we were told they were 20-25 minutes behind due to the first groups of the day arriving 20 minutes later for their tee time. Why they let them still tee off in front of others who paid and were on time is beyond me. The same group that was late was also very slow, and the ranger told us and the group behind us that, "I have talked with them three times already, not sure what else we can do?" Please keep in mind the ranger told us this at either the 7th or 8th hole of the day. The course itself is beautiful, challenging, but fair, and the greens ran great! Please just keep all the customers in mind and get a hand on pace of play. Our round lasted over 5 and 1/2 hours, luckily our next course was able to move our tee time back an hour so we could still make it.

Good value through Golf Now. I wouldn’t pay full

Price

. Good shape, strong par 3s. Excellent layout. Scenic for the price. Great value.

Good condition, lots of trees, a lot of up and down hills, large greens, generous fairways.

I thought the GC was great and challenging. The most undulating (hilly) I have ever played. The one rather flat hole par 5 will also eat your lunch. Views were great. ARNY DID A GREAT JOB IN THE LAYOUT.. IAM from a Country Club background in Florida and was disappointed in the Tee boxes conditions. Nothing flat. A good grounds keeper would address the issue in off season. I realize there are five golf courses but hire golf grounds keepers not landscapers. Will play again

Very good condition. Not too busy so pace was great. Definitely will play again

layout and the pleasant drive through the woods made the slower pace of play almost non existent. it was an great day all around!
