Shanty Creek

the course is in excellent shape. The views are incredible. The greens are difficult and huge. That being said, the pace of play was just horrible, and we played on a Monday at about noon. This is our 2nd experience here. We played in June and loved the course and thought we ran into some problem when it was all backed up....we were wrong....it is always like this. Don't know if we'll come back. Too bad, otherwise we loved it.

This course was a pleasure to play. Arnie did a great job with this golf course! Beautiful setting & course was in fantastic condition! Loved everything about it!

Great layout! Fun course to play and conditions were good. Ranger was out and monitored pace of play, something you don't always see. Lots of elevation changes made for some challenging shots. Would definitely make this a must play if you're in the area. Player tip: if you have an uphill green and think you have enough club, go back and add another!! And you will have plenty of uphill approaches!!

Great course for the money

Our first time playing the course and it was in beautiful condition. Challenging but fair course with pleasant wooded views everywhere. Pace of play was slow because of a group of an outing four foursomes in front of us.

Nice experience and course is good shape with a few bunker issues here and there. Greens were medium fast and true. Course starts with typical resort feel holes and gets better and better especially the back 9. Has a mountain course aspect on the back 9 for sure with a lot of uphill and downhill shots with beautiful views. Great deals on website and good value course. Would play again for sure.

One of the best courses I've play !!! Great layout & fairways were like greens !!!

Looking forward to playing again when we get up north.

Hard to find & I never heard of it before but will tell everyone about one of the States best keep secrets !!!

We love this place, everything about it is fabulous! The course is spectacular, awesome views and the staff rocks!! We play there a lot!

The course is amazing with challenges on every hole. Great views from the elevations. It's unfortunate that some golfers think that taking all the time in the world to watch their buddies practice swings and look for balls is their prerogative but when groups are stacking up that's when it loses its luster. Like most courses I experience there are no rangers or they don't know how to manage golfers pace of play but the impact results in rounds taking up to an hour longer like we experrinced.

The course was play empty and the person behind the counter indicated that was the new normal. What a shame!!!

Few courses can beat me like this one did. From the back tees, I was thoroughly whipped. The course was beautiful, had a great layout, but was hard. The fairways were deceptively narrow in landing areas, guarded by woods, tall grass, and significant sloping.

At times the course bordered on unfair, but never got there. This will test the integrity of your game and force you to hit shots you likely don't practice that often.

Go play it!

This is a must play when you are in Northern MI. The course layout is excellent and challenging - especially from the tips - but still fair. The conditions were great. We teed off at 4:40 and were done by 7:30.

This is one of our favorites, saw a great price on golf now and we could not resist. Course was very busy, so play was slow, but the course and weather were worth taking in the views. Will certainly be back for more!!

Course is spread out (almost no side by side holes) with beautiful scenery. A lot of sand traps!

Not a lot of workers at course on our day of play..manager said it's been hard to find workers who want to work.

This course was well maintained - greens just a little slow but true and green; fairways watered and good condition. Rough was, well, Rough!

Very nice "up north" course. Not for beginners.

What a greay course. Definitely an up north beauty with elevation changes and great views on interesting holes.

It is a good course, well kept and good layout. I will play again

Me and friends rented out the condos at Shanty Creek for a weekend getaway and we played the Hawks Eye on Saturday and the course was amazing from the greens, to the fairways, rough and the scenery. Bit challenging with some hidden shots but overall what a fun course to play!!! Definitely put it on your list for up north golf!

Dramatic elevation changes, picturesque views and immaculate course conditions earn this course an excellent rating. We played early and had no issues with pace of play because we were the first on the course. I can't address pace of play in normal conditions. It was foggy when we started so we had to send out one player as a spotter on the first hole which we couldn't really appreciate because of the fog. The fog lifted by the third hole, and we really enjoyed the rest of our round. I would like to play this course again if the opportunity arises.

For the average golfer there are some very hard and blind pins. That what makes it hard no to go back to.

I'll keep going back to beat the course.
