Shanty Creek

This one one of the most enjoyable courses I've ever played! The course was in great condition, the elevation changes amazing. This course was like a big bag of eye candy! I will play it again:-)

we found the Summit Course in very good condition and enjoyed the challenge of the greens. Shanty Creek has done an excellent job in keeping their courses in great shape.

Hawks eye is one of the nicest course I have played, actually the whole Shanty creek area is a great place to get away as a couple or groups, lots of great courses

Very Nice Northern Michigan Couse. Hills, Sand, Water and at 6400 yds from the Whites just the right length. Beautiful sculpted track well manicured. Can't wait to play it again

Friendly staff. Course in excellent shape.Greens average speed and very smooth. Plenty of hazards without being overwhelming.

Tough course, but forgiving... I always love coming home to play it!

Course conditions were terrific. Staff was great. Perfect weather no push & no rush, just steady golf. Course is long from the whites. Still a fun challenge, but tiring. Due to length from the white tees, it required a lot of up and downs to score good.
Who cared about score when the course conditions are great, along with a cool day (65-70 degrees) and sunney, and a great buy from golfnow.
Course is worth the regular rate. Will play every time I come to Northern Mich. Too early in the season for the food and beverage. No beverage cart midweek this early in season. Couldn"t blame them hardly any paly.

The course itself is very well maintained, however
I was a little disappointed in the golf carts. They
where not very smooth and seem to lack the power
to navigate the hilly course. Over all we had a pleasant outing and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Good Time!

Highly recommended, Always a challenge.
Will play again.

Typical Palmer, sloped fairways, not as narrow as described. My wife also enjoyed it, thought the red tees are very fair.

tough but fair, great condition, terrific value ,would go back many times, its that type of course

Great course that has great views and some fun holes to play. Would highly recommend this course to anyone playing in the northern Michigan area

This course is one of the value gems Up North. The course is well taken care of; challenging but playable for high handicappers. Never crowded -- don't know why. Very nice course that I would make my "home course" if just a little closer to - home!

When most area courses are opening up at full summer prices, Hawks Eye golf course continues to remember that golf is for everyone and offers great spring and fall rates that allow the average person to experience one of the best courses in northern michigan. We drove 35 miles to get to this course and its worth every mile. Will golf again. Check out their 2 for 1 wednesday specials at Hawks Eye Golf course. Thanks again Hawks Eye

I have played Cedar quite a few times and always walk of #18 sad that the round is over. This is such an entertaining course with a wonderful mix of holes, pleasing to the eye with the designer's usual risk, reward opportunities. Try to schedule during the fall color change for a really special experience. It is true, however, that if there is a criticism is will probably be with the course condition but overall and considering the very fair green fees. This is an outstanding value

Beautiful course. Well maintained. Scenic. Played this course a few times before and always enjoyable. This time, however, back nine was brutally slow. Ranger went out two or three times, but no avail. 3 hr back nine. Nice elevation changes.

Very enjoyable course. Greens are beautiful and roll true.
Par 3's are tough! Played the Blue Tees and par 3's were 167, 190, 216, 216. They weren't much shorter if you went to the White tees. Nice elevation changes around the course. Overall I would definitely recommend this course. Challenging but fair.

Stuck behind 2 sets of foursomes who did not play ready golf and were hitting from the wrong tees for their capabilities.

The course is a good solid resort course; front nine flat and relatively uninteresting; back nine much more interesting with substantial elevation changes. Very well maintained.

Cedar River is one of my very favorite tracks in Northern MI. A fun course with short par 5's (back nine has 3 3's, 3 4's and 3 5's)....and while challenging it's scenic, very fair and there's more room between the trees than you think...with slopes that assist the ball to stay in bounds on at least one side of the fairway in most cases. At least 3 holes you have to play a few times to get the hang of them (5th hole, 13th hole and 18th holes at minimum) so first timers should "scout" these prior to play. The par 3 fourteenth is an absolute gem.. and as a topper a great patio to enjoy a beverage overlooking the finishing green. I'd play this course at least once a week if I lived near it.
