FOUR CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSES
With four championship golf courses surrounded by
Northern Michigan’s magnificent landscape, it’s no
wonder Shanty Creek Resorts has been recognized by
the readers of Condé Nast Traveler as one of the “Top
121 Golf Resorts in the World.”
2. THE LEGEND GOLF COURSE
Designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer, The Legend
provides unrivaled views of Lake Bellaire. Named one of the
top four resort courses in the U.S. by the readers of Golf
Magazine and awarded 4½ stars in Golf Digest’s “Places to
Play Directory.”
Tight fairways, formidable doglegs and elevation
changes force you to use all your clubs while seeking
par. If necessary, private and group lessons are
available from one of Shanty Creek’s PGA pros to
improve your game further.
3. SCHUSS MOUNTAIN GOLF COURSE
This Warner Bowen design guides golfers through
Northern Michigan’s woodlands, wetlands and rolling hills.
And with a formidable back nine, Schuss is annually named
one of the top public courses in Michigan.
1. CEDAR RIVER GOLF COURSE
Named one of America’s Top 100 resort courses by Golf
Week, and one of Golf Magazine’s “Top Ten in the U.S.
You Can Play”. This Tom Weiskopf design is a must-play.
Weaving through hills and peaceful waters, this aweinspiring course will challenge and impress.
4. SUMMIT GOLF COURSE
A full-length 18-hole course that features Par 3 tee boxes
on every hole and 18.5” cups in addition to regular cups.
Summit G.C. is the perfect place for children and beginners.
This William Diddel design rolls gently across the hills of
Antrim County and has been a long-time favorite among
golfers who favor wide fairways and fast greens.

range from 95 yards to 125 yards,
