Michigan Golf Journal August 2021

I had to smack myself on the forehead recently, similar to the ‘exasperated emoji’ found on most cell phones, wondering why it took me so many years to return to the site of some absolutely wonderful golf options in Northern Michigan. That site is Shanty Creek Resort near beautiful Bellaire. By purchasing the neighboring Hawk’s Eye this season , Shanty Creek expanded its portfolio to five 18-hole courses (90 holes), making it one of the nation’s largest gathering of courses at one resort, and in this case within a 4-mile driving distance of each other. The two courses developed by famous designers Tom Weiskopf (Cedar River) and Arnold Palmer (The Legend) generally grab the most attention. However, the original Summit and Schuss courses have excellent features that round out the group of courses to provide a full range of prices, challenges, beauty, and varying golf experiences – all in one location.
