Nice course
Very nice course that was in excellent condition. Pace of play was also excellent
first time at shanty creek. wonderful experience. great golf
My first visit to the Shanty Creek Resorts. Not sure why it took me so long to visit but I will be back and I will recommend this resort to all of my family and friends. I played the Legend, awesome, and the Schuss Mountain course, very nice. The staff was wonderful, pleasant and helpful. I checked out Cedar River and that will be a must on my next visit.
very very nice to play
did not play this course last year but got the chance this year and booked it.
beautiful course, great shape
This is a must play beautiful Northern Michigan golf course with breath taking views provided by multiple elevation changes.
The nicest greens at Shanty Creek
Overall this was a nice course. Be prepared to play some severe dog legs. 10 of the 18 holes are dog leg right or left holes. It was very playable and the greens were exceptional.
Enjoyed the layout and views on the golf course very much.
We played after a heavy rain, but the course handled the water very well. The greens took quite a beating and were slow due to their soggy condition, but were true. Pace of play was a little slow due to a scramble outing, but once that was completed, we moved at a nice pace. We learned a lot about shot placement and look forward to playing this course again. The rough on the back nine was a little too long for my liking and there were a few spots that got burned from fertilizer applications. Staff were friendly and accommodating. It was a very enjoyable and challenging round of golf, especially for the price.
Outstanding course, staff and service
One of my favorite courses in the U.S. Fair but challenging. Outstanding price for afternoon play.
Very nice layout.
The layout was very good, all holes carved out of teh bush so you didn't see other golfers. The only complaint was not enough visits from the cart girl.
One of my favorite Northern Michigan courses
One of my favorite Northern Michigan courses. Always in great shape and some awesome holes.
Great value, good course for new players
We had a great time from drop off thru pro shop to the finish.
Great Course
Arnold Palmer Design was beautiful and very challenging. Played the blue tees which made for a more challenging round (the black tees were a little beyond my talent). Would recommend this course to anyone looking for pretty scenery and good golf
Fabulous course
Best course my husband and I have played in a long time. Good value through Golf Now. Course is beautiful and in pristine condition.
Beautiful course! Would definitly go back.
Very very nice. Picturesque and challenging. A must play.
This course is in absolutely terrible condition. It looks as if it has been going down hill for several years.
From tee box, to fairways, to greens, this course is one of the poorest courses I have ever played. The fairways are mostly dead. The tee boxes have been dead for years and taken over by weeds. The greens have severe areas of snow mold kill off.
easy to get to and nice club house
greens and fairways were very nice had a very nice round of golf
Great
Great, beautiful course. Friendly staff. Fast greens
fairways and greens
enjoyed playing this course and looking forward to playing it again
Nice course for the $$$
Great fairways and greens. Some rough and some hardpan off the fairways. Good value with twilight rate after 1 PM.
Great deal for $48.00
Cedar River is a fine golf course. I love the short par 4 on the back. We had a great time and were able to play in 4 hours. Overall a very nice experience.
Well maintained course
We found the course to be very well maintained; we enjoyed our experience and played in just under 4 hours. We were paired with two other golfnow players - overall a pleasant round.
