Our Golf Courses

Cedar River Course – Designed by Tom Weiskopf

A championship-caliber course and host of the 2025 and 2026 Michigan Open , Cedar River blends natural topography with a strategic, player-friendly design. One of only two Weiskopf courses in Michigan, it offers a Medium Risk / Reward experience that challenges golfers to think their way around the course.

The Legend – Designed by Arnold Palmer

A Northern Michigan classic that set the standard for championship golf in the region. Carved through mature forests with dramatic elevation changes, it rewards bold play and precision on every approach. A High Risk / Reward course offering spectacular views and true shot making opportunities.

Hawk’s Eye – Designed by John Robinson

A dynamic blend of challenge and playability with wide fairways, undulating greens, and significant elevation changes. Hawk’s Eye provides a Medium / High Risk / Reward experience that perfectly complements Cedar River and The Legend.

Schuss Mountain – Designed by Warren Bowen

A true placement course featuring numerous doglegs and strategic tee shots. The front nine plays flatter, while the back nine brings elevation and variety. Known for its consistent conditions, Schuss offers a Low / Medium Risk / Reward round that rewards smart course management.

Summit Course – Designed by William Diddle

The original Shanty Creek course, Summit is a resort-style layout that’s more open but features deceptively challenging greens. With its approachable design and Low Risk / Reward play, it’s a favorite among casual golfers and groups.
