THE LEGEND
Designed by “The King” Arnold Palmer, The Legend was given 4½ stars in Golf Digest’s “Places to Play Directory.” The Legend’s 600 acres cascade over hilltops with stunning views of Lake Bellaire and into valleys with holes playing alongside and over crystal clear waters. Designed to challenge the most focused golfer, The Legend was named one of the top four resort courses in the United States by the readers of Golf Magazine.

CEDAR RIVER
Designed by PGA player and architect, Tom Weiskopf, Cedar River Golf Course weaves through the hills and peaceful waters of northern Michigan and has been named one of America’s Top 100 resort courses by Golf Week. One of Golf Magazine’s “Top Ten in the U.S. You Can Play,” this northern Michigan course offers five tees to provide players with challenging yet enjoyable golf.

SUMMIT
This William Diddel gem is Shanty Creek’s original northern Michigan golf course. It rolls gently across the hills of Antrim County and has been a long-time favorite among golfers who favor wide fairways and fast greens.

SCHUSS
A favorite among locals who annually name it one of the top public courses in Michigan. Schuss Mountain GC is a challenging course carved into Pure Michigan. But don’t let the tranquility of this Warner Bowen golf course fool you! Schuss Mountain delivers the challenge golfers seek throughout 6,922 yards of abundant wetlands, rolling hills, and wildlife.
