Hawk's Eye at Shanty Creek

Have enjoyed the beauty of this course before but have to say, the course was in excellent condition for just opening 2 weeks ago. Thoroughly enjoyed our day.

Hawk's Eye is and has always been a great golfing experience. The course is challenging but is player friendly because of the great layout. The staff is amazing and is very attentive to your every need. Beautiful Northern Michigan course with great scenic views everywhere. Everyone needs to make this a stop every time they are golfing in Northern Michigan.

The course is in beautiful condition, the staff is very friendly, their restaurant is closed for the season other then that we couldn't have asked for anything more. Great layout, great conditions and great weather all added up to a great day.

Have always loved this course. Always play it when we come up to shanty. For what they charge for a round u wish the carts were a little nicer!

Great value,everything was in great shape for this time of year.

We played Cedar River and The Legend before taking on Hawk's Eye.

The conditioning wasn't quite as good as the other two (seemed to be a little crabgrass and a few dandelions here and there) but it was still very nice.

I thought the layout was good...but make sure you play the right tee boxes. This was a good example of a course that could have used "composite" tees. The whites were way too long for me at 6300 yards and the yellow tees seemed a little short at 5600. It seemed like a lot of these holes played harder than their yardages...three of the four par threes were playing at over 180 yards and it seemed as though a lot of the holes played uphill (we also were getting no roll because of rain overnight).

I also seemed to find a sand trap on almost every hole.

Overall, I would definitely play this course again. It was a great value for the money.

I've played Hawk's Eye at least a dozen times and it's a beautiful layout.....but in an area full of beautiful courses it sure would've been nice to know that the greens had been prepared for winter and were not very playable....would've chosen another course having said that customer service was the worst I've ever seen....girl in the pro shop didnt know what she was doing and the girl in the snack bar was worse...called to order something for the turn on 9 tee and was voice mailed and told to leave a message....wth!

Very impressed with the staff. Course layout was fantastic. They had just aerated the greens. Did not get to experience the true guality of the greens. The staff did warn us about them. Enjoyed the par 3's. Like to play it again.

Beautiful course. Nice layout. We enjoyed playing it.

This was an awesome course! It was raining and cold most of the round but I didn't stop because I wanted to keep playing! Rolling hills and elevation drops are the greatest characteristics of this course! Pretty challenging greens as well, some are pretty big in size.

Great terrain and course lay out- I don't know who John Robinson is but this a memorable golf course with some great holes and unlike The Legend has some room of the Tee and most of the holes are right in front of you.

The staff that was there was friendly and the restruant has very limited menu and was understaffed. The chili was good and so were the club sandwiches at the turn, but they took 15 minutes to make them

No beveridge cart on the course and no bag service afterwards

The greens are complex, have a lot of buried elephants and were hard and fast, so some pin placements were impossible to get close with chips and even sometime putts and a few were just flat ridiculous if you get on the wrong side.

My biggest complaint thoough were the bunkers. They are full of rocks! Big, small and tiny and many of the tiny ones end up on the green after people blast out and can knock your putts off line if you don't clean them all. Every bunker needs to be redone with USGA SAND

We played this course on our 52nd wedding anniversary Aug. 12, 2017 and again Aug. 16,2017.

we thoroughly enjoyed both days. Everyone from check in to finish was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back. Good value for the money.

Fun course, poor conditions. The rough conditions were very disappointing, lots of dirt at patchy grass. Sand traps were full of rocks so avoid traps. Pace of play was slow and backed up. I wouldn't recommend paying over 25$ for 18.

I really enjoyed the layout and conditions of this course. Fairways give you plenty of room and if you miss there is room in the rough before you get into major trouble The greens rolled great and the course itself was well maintained. I would def recommend this course if you are in the area.

Incredible course and at a great value! Hawk's Eye is one of the most challenging and visually appealing courses in Northern Michigan!! In my opinion, it's a MUST play when you are in the area. Better than the Legend and many of the other courses in the area. Absolutely the best value as well.

This was a great course to play. I read many reviews about Hawk's Eye and they did not disappoint. I kept figuring that was going to be something wrong with this course but how cheap it was to play, The course had a great layout with some very pretty holes too, #17 was my favorite. It was one of the most difficult tracks that I have ever played. The greens were the fastest I had played all year. I enjoyed the challenge and this is a must play for any golf enthusiast.
