The Fun Never Ends
For a few weeks each fall, Northern Michigan turns crimson and gold, and Shanty Creek sits in the middle of it all.
Take a color tour by golf cart through the hardwoods. Ride the chairlift for a 360 degree view. Play a round in air crisp enough to make the last hole the best one. Then settle into a room high above Lake Bellaire and watch the color hold until sunset.
