Shanty Creek Resort – Cedar River Course

There are a bevy of courses at Shanty Creek Resort.  We didn’t have time to play them all, but the Cedar River Course was a memorable experience.

Designed by Tom Weiskopf, it’s no surprise Golfweek called this course one of “America’s Top 100 Resort Courses”. 

Carved out of dense hardwood forest, you have to be accurate off the tee.  Just ask Dan.  He had to buy more golf balls at the turn. 

The greens were some of the best we played all trip.  I was fortunate enough to hit it close a number of times and made a bunch of putts.  Suffice it to say Dan was digging in his wallet after the round.

The resort proper was stupendous as well.  The amenities were first-class and the level of service unparalleled. 

Not the cheapest round of golf, but well worth it in my book.
