Resort Overview

At Shanty Creek, the choice is yours. Set a tee time at one of our four championship golf courses, or maybe a round of tennis is more to your liking. Take one of our free fly fishing clinics, the Cedar River is jumping with trout. And if you're looking for some family fun, hike bike or rollerblade any of the smooth and mountain terrain trails that wind through Shanty's amazing 4,500-acre resort. Shanty Creek is comprised of three distinct villages, Summit Village, Schuss Village and Cedar River Village, all three offer the perfect accommodations, dining facilities and recreational opportunities.

Golf Overview

Looking for a relaxing golf getaway? Then head to Shanty Creek where the only stress you'll encounter (well, other than that pesky slice) is deciding which award-winning course to play. Should you hit a round on The Legend today, or are you in more of a Weiskopf mood? Good news: At Shanty Creek you can play both, and then some.
