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 Track
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.
Integrated shaping
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 🦅
Hawk
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!
A great day at Shanty Creek’s best course
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.
AWESOME COURSE!
Hawk's Eye never disappoints. Good pace if play, very friendly staff and the beauty of the course is spectacular. The greens can be very deceiving but are fair. Enjoy a round, you won't be disappointed.
Good challenge
The good challenges brought in slow play. Finished first nine, we played the back first, in well under 2 hours. There was nobody in front of us. When we hit the front nine to finish, the brakes went on. Ended up leaving after 13 holes. As we headed to the clubhouse, every hole from 14 on was stacked up.
Good conditions otherwise.
Golf review
The course was in good shape. The only complaint I have was that they did not honor a free round of golf that I received from Hawk’s Eye. Coupon had no expiration date but they said there was a new owners and they would not honor the coupon.
Course was fine. No beverage nor food availability. Ranger was very nice as he delivered 4 bottles of water. It was a warm day when we played
