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.

Spectacular views, landscape, and layout
This is one of my all time favorites. The course features great views on every hole. The layout is challenging but fair. I noticed the ball marks on the greens were a problem and suggest the starter provide a tool to players to help remind them to keep the course in great shape for the next group.
Excellent Course and Condition
The conditions of the course were excellent! The course was challenging and fun to play. We had a great time!! My only issue was in transition from one hole to the next, signage was scarce to guide the way. We managed to bumble our way to each hole. For a first time visit, that was a minor inconvenience; we will return!!
Hawks Eye
Course was in good shape, everyone was friendly, polite and enthusiastic. We played it during a dry season in early August, the greens seemed a little sparse , maybe they recently aerated and sanded, my biggest concern was the rocks in the traps. Maybe I was in them a lot but the size of some of the stones was scary. Overall a good value.
Hawk’s Eye
Play this course a lot. We were a twosome behind 2 foursomes which held everyone up. Gets frustrating when people forget golf etiquette!
Summer outing
Enjoyed the course on a perfect summer day. Prices for food were high at the clubhouse. Disappointed in that, but the golf was good.
Best shape in years!!
Shanty Creek's purchase of Hawk's Eye the grounds keeping and overall conditioning have improved significantly. Best I've seen in several years and I've been playing this course since in opened at least every other year. You do have to play here a couple of times to score on it....it's tricked up/tight in some areas and there are some sneaky elevation changes/blind shots where it's difficult to know how much to club up or club down. Do not get let your ball get above the hole.....without course knowledge that's difficult for first timers. This is now Shanty's second best course adjacent to Cedar River. 4.25 stars. Highly recommended.
Amazing Course
This course is eye popping from the very first tee. Amazing layout, challenging and excellent conditions make this one of the top courses in Michigan and clearly the top course at Shanty Creek!
