Shanty Creek - Cedar River

• 🏆Top 10 in the U.S. You Can Play — Golf Magazine
• 🏆Top 100 Resort Courses — Golfweek

Tom Weiskopf's first Michigan design opened in 1999 as Cedar River — the marquee championship course at Shanty Creek, complementing The Legend's Palmer routing. The 6,980-yard par-72 layout traces the Cedar River through northern Michigan hardwoods, with Weiskopf's typical strategic shaping and well-defined hazard placement. Golfweek has named Cedar River one of America's Top 100 Resort Courses, and Golf Magazine put it in the Top Ten in the U.S. You Can Play. Rolex includes it in the Top 1,000 Courses in the World, and Golf Digest's Best in State rankings have it sitting in the 21st-24th range in Michigan from 2013 through 2018. Cedar River is also the host of the Hall Financial Michigan Open. Resort-tier pricing keeps it in the $$ band — slightly higher than Shanty Creek's other layouts in peak season.
