Hawk's Eye at Shanty Creek

This is a must play beautiful Northern Michigan golf course with breath taking views provided by multiple elevation changes.

We played after a heavy rain, but the course handled the water very well. The greens took quite a beating and were slow due to their soggy condition, but were true. Pace of play was a little slow due to a scramble outing, but once that was completed, we moved at a nice pace. We learned a lot about shot placement and look forward to playing this course again. The rough on the back nine was a little too long for my liking and there were a few spots that got burned from fertilizer applications. Staff were friendly and accommodating. It was a very enjoyable and challenging round of golf, especially for the price.

Best course my husband and I have played in a long time. Good value through Golf Now. Course is beautiful and in pristine condition.

Great, beautiful course. Friendly staff. Fast greens

enjoyed playing this course and looking forward to playing it again

Beautiful golf course layout and condition with generous fairways and greens. Near Shanty Creek Resort.

Really enjoyed playing this course. Challenging, yet not too difficult. The course layout was very scenic in a wooded area with just enough bunkers and water to make you place your shots. I look forward to playing this course again.

Hawk's Eye GC is in great condition from tee boxes, to fairways, to greens. Only complaint would be that some holes need to provide first time golfers with info about blind shots or where they can drive through the fairway. Another issue is needing an additional club or two when going uphill. But various holes offer challenge and interesting layouts.

awesome course, great layout, fantastic price, what more can you ask for?

The course was very scenic and undulating. It seemed like we were always hitting to uphill greens. When we didn't keep the ball on the fairways, we were heavily penalized with extra shots due to the exceptionally high rough. We forgot to ask if that's typical during the entire season. If you're not hitting the ball straight, your round will be very frustrating and your score will surely be higher than normal. If the rough isn't always that high, we would play here again.

This is my favorite Michigan course. I play it every year. A challenging course that is still woman friendly.

Thick lush rough.
Greens slow.
Staff very friendly.

For me, this is a very challenging course, it definitely rewards fairway play and penalizes a player for hitting in the rough or OB. This is a fun course, and very narrow, greens were in great shape and overall so was the whole course. Would play again.

Staff were very friendly and course was in great shape but the owners/managers were in a fued with the resort owners so there was no club house, resturant or bar facility. The pro shop/starter house was a temperory office trailer and there was no beverage cart, food or alcohol available for the guests. The day could have been a great experience but was simply a day of golf with no other fun features.

This course was a fairly young course but with its designs and unique character, it definitely has potential to be something special. When the greens mature and their condition are thinly cut, it could be a very difficult course for your short game. Would certainly re-visit when I go back to Northern Michigan.

I try to bring my golfing guests to play Hawkeye because of it sheer beauty. Everyone should play it if they have a chance.
