Shanty Creek is a first-class golf/ski resort located between Mancelona and the Village of Bellaire. It's just northeast of Traverse City, and south of Charlevoix, Petoskey, & Harbor Springs. The region has a busy calendar of events including art and music festivals, live theatre, winery tours, casinos, four-star restaurants, and quaint little shops. The area boasts an abundance of championship designer golf courses - The Legend (Palmer), Cedar River (Weiskopf), Schuss Golf Club (Bowen), Summit Golf Club (Diddel), Hawks Eye and The Chief (Robinson), to name a few. The area is also a popular summer destination for water enthusiasts due to its close proximity to so many beautiful lakes such as Lake Bellaire, Clam Lake, Elk Lake, and Torch Lake. In fall, the autumn colors are unsurpassed, and in winter the area provides some of the best down-hill ski slopes, tubing runs, snow-boarding, snowmobile trails and sleigh rides. In short, no matter the season, this locale has plenty to offer!
