The Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek

Had a great time here in upper Michigan for Memorial Day weekend 2021. Excellent course, Troy was super friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend.

great fairway and greens! Scenic course in great condition!

Hidden gem. Great course. Great conditions for this early in the season.

I have played Schuss many times over the last 22 years. It has gotten better as time went on. It is maintained meticulously. Guys are working everyday on the course. Greens are large and in great shape. Typically the keep the greens about a 10 ( not too fast) and they run very true. The layout requires using every club in your bag. Lots of dog legs working both left and right. You will enjoy this course and it’s budget price. I think it is way under priced but Shanty really likes having this beauty at a budget price.

Weren’t allowed to social distance with separate carts. Asked for refund and left.

Played here many times in recent years. Course seems to get better every year. Excellent maintenance of fairways and greens. Real sand in the traps. A pleasure to play.

Rangers did not do a good job of keeping the pace of play moving. One group ahead of us was two holes behind the group they were following. Ranger did nothing to help improve this. Will not play this course again

The course was in great shape. No beer cart but you can’t go wrong

Played there many and always enjoyed Today was a total disaster. After 4 hours we had only completed 13 holes. There was a group of about 15 guys ahead of us who had no respect for golf or others around them. Many people behind us had already quit. We stopped after 13 holes because it was painful.

Greens were fairly fast and true. Fairways were excellent and all holes are different requiring several kinds of shots. All that good is hard to appreciate when the pace of play is so slow. 5 hrs to play and as a twosome we played at our own pace until number 5.

Played this third in our rotation of the 4 Shanty Courses. I'd rank this one as third best of the 4, but that's more because Cedar and the Legend are fantastic. Course setup here requires some creativity, as there's lots of doglegs, but not a ton of water, and open enough that you won't be searching for balls all day in the woods. All the courses on the resort have good amenities, but they are EXPENSIVE. I'd recommend not eating at the courses.

Front 9 is pretty straight forward, with some doglegs - mostly left. Back 9 is much more picturesque and features some really cool holes with undulation changes. 18, is a good risk-reward par 4, but the right play is to NOT hit driver. Most of the par 4's aren't super long, and other than hole 5 - the par 5's are reachable in two with two good shots.

Greens were a bit faster than the Summit, but still not super fast. We played on a perfect day, with sun and a little wind.

We had some issues with hospitality over the course of the trip. At the Summit there were no issues, but here, there was no attendant for the range - so one of our groups took range balls with the intention of paying later. Shortly after, a person chased them down and scolded them. I thought it was unnecessary considering there was no attendant, and we fully intended to pay for them.

Other than that instance, I felt this was an enjoyable round.

first time playing this course. the fairways were in very good condition. the layout was good although almost everything over a par three were dog legs... would definitely play this course again.
