Really well maintained.
Greens were in great shape.

A great day at THE HAWK

The HAWK is in the best shape it has been in years; what a turn around for this golf course. It is obvious that a lot of hard work and TLC has been put into the course over the past few years. KUDOS to the Staff and Management!!

it has improved much over the last 2 years

Good for the money. There was not a first cut. You were either in the fairway or the deep rough.

Great Value

The course was in great shape and not very full for a sunny Saturday morning. Greens had just been plugged recently so that was the only downside but you can't take anything away from the course for that. The people there were very friendly and pace of play was excellent. I would play again.

Bryon m

Defenately worth the 40 mins to play.
Years past I would probably play the hawk once or twice a year.
From seeing the course in it's worse state come back to life I plan on bringing the foursome back.

Could only do 9 holes

I arrived 20 minutes early, but was informed that I couldn't play 18 holes because they have a 5 p.m. scramble that will involve all 18 holes.

The starter was very apologetic for the late notice. I was perfectly satisfied to just play 9 holes.

Did not honor Golf Now Pricing

I had reservation through golfnow.com for 25.00 with a cart. When I checked in, the staff said the price was 30.00. I showed them the golf now receipt and they said there is nothing they can do. The price on the board is 30.00 and that is the price, no discussion.
Extremely poor customer service.

Greens challenging, in great shape

After years of neglect, the Hawk is in good shape again. Greens are in great shape, bunkers with new sand, all carts have windshields now,

While the course is not country club conditions, it is in really good shape.

You have to be playing well to score well here due to the sloping greens. It is a fun course to play and I will be back

Incredible for last day of november

For the last day of November the course was fairly busy. I had a tee time around noon so I was the last round to tee off that I could tell. Pace was just fine. Finished in less than 4 hours. Course was in great shape. Very few leaves down, which this time of year is a challenge. Greens fast and hard, but temps near freezing.

Challenging course, but well worth the trip

Course was okay.

Our car was broken into in the parking lot and wallet was stolen from car. Staff seemed unaffected by it and didn't even express that they were sorry.

Needs TLC.

The greens were too slow for my taste and there too many areas where the grass was thin. The bunkers were hard at the bottom. The facility/buildings are in need of improvement.

Well maintained !

First time this year that we played The Hawk. Have never seen this course in such good shape. Greens had just been aerated so the putting was a little askew but the fairways were magnificent! (not that I got to play in them often) We played at 2 pm and were not pushed or held up at all. I can't wait to play this course again!
