Description
With a silver medal from Golf Digest, recognition from Condé Nast Traveler (“Top Golf Resorts in the World”), and two courses ranked among Michigan's Top 20 Public Courses by Golf Magazine, choosing Shanty Creek for your Midwest golf trip is a safer bet than your approach shot on #7 of Arnold Palmer's Michigan masterpiece, The Legend.
The Legend Golf Course
by Arnold Palmer
The Legend's reputation has been built on multiple elevation changes, doglegs, water hazards, and well-placed traps. Its setting includes views of Lake Bellaire and the actual Shanty Creek trickles through your round.
Arnold Palmer helped introduced northern Michigan golf to the world when Golf Magazine named it among the “Top Resort Courses” in the US. 4½ stars from Golf Digest.
