Hawk's Eye at Shanty Creek
About
Hawk's Eye Golf Resort in Bellaire is one of the top 15 public courses in the state of Michigan. The championship course is the centerpiece of a tucked away golf community in the northern part of the state. The golf course offers something for every skill level. Beginners are welcomed by the generous fairways and forgiving greens while the more advanced players will enjoy all of the risk-reward opportunities. The back tees are also positioned so that there are more forced carries that require greater accuracy. The layout sprawls across windswept hills and wooded valleys. The towering trees give way to beautiful views of Intermediate Lake and the surrounding countryside. In addition to the golf course, Hawk's Eye offer practice facilities including large driving range and a nine-hole putting course.

Great course! Can’t wait to play again
What a great track. Friendly off the tee box but is very challenging. Can’t wait to play again.
Challenging but Fun
We played this course the first year it opened and the club house was a trailer. This course has matured wonderfully and we enjoy getting back to play once a year!
Hawks Eye Gem of the North
I have played several courses up North, including Tree Tops, Tulkymore, “The Legend”, i.e. and for an up north course I think for the cost and value Hawks Eye is just as beautiful and challenging as many of the aforementioned courses. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, but save your energy it’s a very long course that ends with 2 par 5’s and a par 4
Slow play
Don’t play Saturdays! 2:30 for front 9. Then 5 groups stacked at 10th tee. Tee times 7 minutes apart; too tight. No Marshall. Staff gave us a rain check when we quit at 10th. Great course. Bad timing.
Hawk's Eye was a great find.
While visiting northern Michigan, we try to play one "special" course. We have played Treetops, The Donald Ross Memorial, and The Monument. Hawk's Eye was equally fun to play as these courses. It is challenging and beautiful. We loved the changes in elevation. We will look forward to playing it again in the near future.
Great course!
This is a great golf course. Fun layout, challenging holes. The day we played it, the hole locations made it very very challenging. The course seems to have lapsed in condition. We have played it the last 5 years and this was the worst we have seen it. The greens were very nice, the tees were ok but the general condition of the fairways and rough were not up to the usual here.
It’s fun...we’re having fun.
Nice wide fairways. Greens rolled fast and true. Will be coming back!
Superb Course!
Course was in excellent condition, given all of the hot weather we've had, and the number of golfers that come through. Fairways are great, greens were great! Staff is wonderful! Always enjoy golfing here!
Just ok
Still a decent track, but many areas suffering from lack of water with some areas completely burned out brown and cracked. Also many bunkers lacking maintenance and becoming overgrown with weeds. Staff was great, course is suffering from maintenance issues.
Disappointed
Nice layout but a few bad/severe green complexes. Lots of severely burned out areas including on the greens.
Great course and great. Alve
We have e played this course many times and it’s alwaus in great shape and the staff is very friendly.
Would highly recommend !!
Good value
We enjoyed the course. My husband played from the white and I played from the red. The rough is unforgiving so straight down the middle is critical. Greens were good. Would have liked a clearer 150 marker in most holes.
Excellent Course!
Played late in the day, mid-week. Breezed around the course with no problems. Course is in excellent shape. Must play for those visiting in the Bellaire area.
One of the best
This is one of the best courses in the area. Course is meticulously maintained. Greens are true. Always enjoy it here.
Wonderful play it!
I've played Hawk's Eye since it opened with 9 holes years ago. Refer to my review 6/14/17 as well. Course is in the best shape I've seen it in several years. The sand traps are being maintained and in much better shape than last year. If you're at Shanty Creek or staying in this area highly recommend a play here. It's a really fun NoMI layout with great views, ups and downs, interesting green complexes and plenty of challenge. Good clubhouse and facilities. Nice folks who value your golf dollar. 4.5 stars.
Beautiful course
Elevation and layout of holes are designed well. Course was is amazing!! The shape of the course and the views are incredible!
