Hawk's Eye at Shanty Creek

Course is spread out (almost no side by side holes) with beautiful scenery. A lot of sand traps!

Not a lot of workers at course on our day of play..manager said it's been hard to find workers who want to work.

What a greay course. Definitely an up north beauty with elevation changes and great views on interesting holes.

Me and friends rented out the condos at Shanty Creek for a weekend getaway and we played the Hawks Eye on Saturday and the course was amazing from the greens, to the fairways, rough and the scenery. Bit challenging with some hidden shots but overall what a fun course to play!!! Definitely put it on your list for up north golf!

The course was in really good shape. The greens were consistent, and the staff was friendly. A great place to play a round of golf!

Played Hawk's Eye on a Tuesday afternoon in October.
Weather was great, course was beautiful.

Played in great conditions at a great pace of play at a great golf course. What more could you ask for. Only criticism would be pin positions were not clear and varied from what graphics on card indicated. Other than that, it's a go back destination.

The course is a great example of a resort course. It's not just this course but almost every course you play. The players don't take care of the course. There were large divots all over the fairways that were not repaired or even an attempt to repair. The same goes for the greens, plenty of ball marks not repaired. It's a shame as this is a beautiful course that's worthy of playing over and over.

They aerified greens on Monday and it was Wednesday when we played. Greens were sandy but still very playable and in really good shape with just 2 days post punch. Weather has been perfect and today was no change. Staff was awesome and course was more picturesque than I thought it was going to be. Some really great views from tee boxes and driving around the grounds. Will for sure be back and play what I was told is the more well-known back 9 holes.

The course has many demanding shots to make, which makes it a challenge. There are many holes with serious elevation changes. The only downside is pace of play. If you have 5 hours plus to play this course, check it out.

The course was in very nice condition. The entire staff was wonderful and very accommodating. The pace of play was very slow but not so aggravating because the course is very beautiful.

I have come to this course twice in four years, but never finished secondary to darkness or weather. Got allthe way through this time and really enjoyed it! Ran into some congestion on the last four holes, and the twosome behind us were lacking golf etiquette, by talking loudly and playing the radio (get earplugs, dummy! Life doesn't have a soundtrack!) challenging greens, but beautiful natural views; the wind made club selection thoughtful. A great course to play, we drove down from Boyne (visiting from Ohio.)

I played on a Saturday evening for $35 per person. Our foursome practically had the course to ourselves. I have not played many of the Northern Michigan resort courses so I cannot compare this course to others. But I was very pleased with the round. The course is set off the main road. The atmosphere is tranquil. The course is surrounded by natural scenery. There are frequent elevation changes and excellent views from some of the raised tee boxes. I will surely play this course again if I'm in the area.

I've played Treetops, Shanty Creek , Garland, Forest dunes, and a few other northern courses over the years and this is my new favorite course up here. The views from the elevated tees are amazing. It has generous fairways, large undulating medium speed greens and many deep well placed bunkers. We will definitely be back next year.

We really enjoyed our day on the course! It's a very beautiful course with nice views. The course was in very good condition and the value was great.
The hot dogs on the turn were over cooked and not so good. Nice facility and employees.

On and off rain. But decided to play. What a challenge with great views. Exciting drops in elevation with well manicured greens and fairways. Tees for all levels of skill. Will definitely come back and highly recommend for all who want a great golf experience.

I got a great hot deal on golf now for this course for a Sunday afternoon round. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Every single employee seemed to have a genuine smile on their face.

The driving range is pretty cool looking as you hit balls into a valley below you. The area in which you tee off is pretty rough. It was tough to find an untouched section of turf. The putting green near the first tee box is nice and give a great feel for how the greens run on the course.

The course itself is a good test as there are a lot of elevation changes and both wide and narrow fairways. Many of the holes are picturesque as the course has very few houses on it and it truly feels like you are out in the wilderness. The pin placement on the day I played was tough. Most of the pins were only two or three paces off of the edge of the green and there were no true gimmies as there are vey few straight putts.

The greens were running slow and certain parts of them appeared to be "fuzzy." The tee boxes on the par 3's were very tore up. It was almost impossible to tee off between the markers without hitting in or nearly in a divot.

The pace of play was slow bordering on extremely slow. As a 4-some, it nearly took us 5.5 hours to finish. Our 4-some included a new player, a guy who golfs several times a year, a guy golfs maybe once a year, and me. Even with our lack of playing experience, we still were waiting on nearly every hole on the back 9. There was a ranger on the course who checked on us multiple times and even offered us some water while we were waiting.

The course winds WAY away from the clubhouse. I usually walk when I golf and I would NEVER attempt to walk this course. If you want drinks and/or snacks, grab them from the clubhouse before you head out to the course. We only saw the beverage cart twice throughout our round.

The drinks and food at the bar were great. My girlfriend raved about the wrap she had. The bbq pulled pork was also very good.

Overall, the hot deal made it worth the drive to the course and to put up with some of the inconveniences. My group was content and glad we gave it a chance.

The course is gorgeous and challenging but fair. Every hole had a picturesque view from the tee. It was worth the 2+ hours drive to play it.

Great course - bring extra balls as the woods will eat them repeatedly if you have an errant shot
Golf now $44 is s great value
No driving range

It is a nice course. The staff was friendly but the golf cart seats were all moldy. I wouldn't play there again until I knew the cart seats didn't have black mold all over them.

Pace of play was amazing. Get ready for some hills
