About Shanty Creek

The 5,000 acres of Shanty Creek Resorts are spread among three villages - Cedar River, Schuss and Summit, each with at least one golf course, restaurant and accommodations galore. The Summit is arguably home base with the Lakeview Lodge housing the Lakeview Restaurant, the spa and the Legend and Summit golf courses. The resort added the Hawk's Eye course and accommodations across the street in 2021.

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.
