Perfect Course, Perfect Day
This course was great despite that they just aerated the fairways. Temperature was perfect in the mid 70’s and not too many people on the course. It was a little wet from overnight sprinkling but that did not detract from the overall game and playing strategy. I will definitely play this course again when I am back in the area.
Great layout but could use some work
Hawk's Eye has a great layout and is challenging. However, the course could be better maintained. The sand traps in particular need work as many of them have a multitude of rocks in them.
Great Course
I've always lived this track, it's very player friendly, it's i
n tremendous shape, greens we're very receptive and rolled true although they weren't terribly fast. If you're in the area treat yourself to a round at Hawk's Eye, the elevation and views with the trees starting to turn, WOW!!!
Greens slow. Course not marked well. Forced to go down some pretty big hills.
Great course
We have played Schuss Mt for years and always enjoy the well maintained course.
Great course, too slow play and conditions a bit rough. Greens too tricked up.
Nice staff, fairways had fungus, tricky layout
Checked in early and staff was friendly, provided range balls and got us out 30 minutes early. Played this course about 10x, tricky and challenging . Multiple Fairways on back nine had some sort of fungus but greens were in good shape. Pace of play slowed on back nine. . We were 2 some playing behind another twosome.. a group of 24 in front was slow and Marshall was pushing them along . Back nine took 2.5 hours - painful . For $60 I still felt it was good value . Prefer Schuss and Cedar River though .
The course was poorly maintained. Tee boxes full off broken tees and divits. Grass clippings all over fairways. They probably use most of there grounds crew for there other courses.
3rd time on this course
Course Layout is great. Also great condition.
Only issue we slow play due to a very slow 4-some 3 groups ahead of us.
Greens great condition! Great pace of play.
Teed off 1020am as twosome. Played through a foursome and finished in 3 hrs 15 minutes. Greens perfect condition. Fairways needed some divots replaced . Good layout., like the back nine better. Will be back.
Typical resort disappointment
My wife and I played The Legend at Shanty Creek on Monday, August 19. I mention the day of the week as you would not expect a Monday to be so ridiculously slow.
Tee times every 10 minutes is begging for back ups, especially at a resort. 2:39 minutes for the front 9 is not acceptable. We waited on nearly every hole and on every shot for the final 9 holes. The foursome in front never once considered letting us through. A Marshall would have helped speed things up but not once did we see one.
We finally gave up after waiting 12 minutes (timed) on the 18th tee while the group in front looked for lost tee shots less than 100 hundred yards from the tee and quit. A perfect end? Wait there was more. Upon arrival at the bag drop we were greeted by an employee who wiped down clubs, held her hand out for a tip and then we carried our own bags to our car. Not the level of service expected at this resort. We won't be coming back and strongly encourage anyone considering The Legend at Shanty Creek to reconsider their choice. There are several other options in this price range providing a significantly better experience.

Hello, rz7725504. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing The Legend at Shanty Creek.
Always average.
It’s you run of the mill average Up north course. Very limited bar/grill… larger company now owns all the courses there and the new policies are silly. I’d only play any of these courses at a discount. So…it’s just a so/so experience. Not horrible, it just “fine”, nothing to write home about.
