Hawk's Eye at Shanty Creek

First time playing and it’s not for the timid player! Course is in excellent shape but definitely a challenge and requires spot on tee shots and approaches to the greens! Pace was initially very slow but at the turn we were able to jump in front the threesome. We did not realize they had stopped for bathroom and food items so we asked if they were okay with our jump. Portapotties were clean! Definitely more than moderately difficult course but we had a great day!

Staff was excellent, course was awesome, Loved the rolling train, greens and tee boxes we're excellent, course was in nice shape even after couple days of rain.

This course never disappoints just the views alone is worth

Breathtaking views you will not regret playing this course

Great up north course with some elevation and expansive fairways. One of my favorite layouts, up there with Treetops and Boyne. Love the course.

Range was closed, but nice chipping and putting area. Carts were new and smooth, the course was in very good condition, including the huge greens. Busy with lots of players, but the pace of play was fine and well supervised. Tee signage directions were great and necessary. Beautiful views on a fine spring day! Challenging but fun, used every club in the bag.

Decided to play this course at last minute while in the gaylord area.Golf now had a hotdeal midday on a sunday.Arrived about an hour and a half early after a 4 hour car ride to get there.Check in staff saw it was my wife and I as a two some.They had a larger group heading out in about 20 minutes and they asked if we wanted to go out before them or wait.We said we would go...THANK YOU!! We took off and were behind a 3 some that were in no rush.Course pace is 15min per hole and we ended up right on that time when finished.Might have been 15 to 30 min faster if not for the slower group in front.But to be honest this course is a feast for the eyes!! Simply stunning...hole after hole.Overall conditions were excellent...only knock is that Sandrtraps were a bit rocky.A decent amount of small to med pebbles were my only negative on this course.Greens were undulating and quick...a real challenge but fun and fair.A course at this price level...90.00 ish on weekends or more could look to improve sand conditions.A 4.5 hour round goes by quick when you are playing a course that has a little of everything...including plenty of elevation changes to treat those who take on the challenge.Highly recommend.If you can get it booked under 75.00..don't think twice..less than stellar sand traps or notf

Love Hawks Eye and play here every year on our Bellaire vacation. Course was in great shape and it seemed like we had the course to ourselves.

The dynamic created in fairways and approaches by the contours, shaping and park like elements play well in achieving the green. Some blue tee-boxes can drive 300+ yards when struck in the sweet spot, thanks to downhill mounds and kick bonuses found in landing areas. Well played Hawks Eye 🦅

Course was in good shape. Friendly and courteous staff. Unfortunately it started raining and then thunderstorms after nine holes. We were given nine hole rain voucher. Sooty we couldn’t finish!

I have played all the Shanty Creek courses and continue to come back to Hawks Eye. Just one of my favorite Northern Michigan courses. Outstanding value and quality of golf.
