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.

My new favorite golf course in Bellaire

Great course, pace of play too slow
First time playing the course, it was in great condition, fair fairways and greens. My only complaint was the pace of play. I can’t stand 5 hour rounds of golf but that seems to be the norm in Northern Michigan. I would definitely play here again though.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Jeffrey5783474. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Hawk's Eye Golf Resort thanks you!

Undulating Greens
This is a beautiful golf course but somewhat challenging. The rough is VERY rough. It's easy to lose your ball. The fairways are well-groomed. The greens are mostly undulating, and putting isn't easy. The weather was somewhat rainy, and the fairways were slushy in places. The carts had no cover in the back. I was glad to have finished playing the 18 just before the thunderstorms hit.

Great course and clubhouse
Beautiful course that is in excellent condition. Staff was nice and round comes with range balls. The club house is stunning and is on a bluff looking over 18th. Only complaint is pace of play but course was busy so it is expected.

Excellent Layout/Shaky customer service
My son came in from Texas for a few days and brought the hot weather with him. The hot, humid weather made it hard to enjoy our round, we only played 9 holes (though paying for 18). The course layout is very nice with lots of elevation changes, water hazards and ample fairways. On a cooler day we would have had a better time. Our round was marred by a couple of customer service glitches. There were no range balls at the driving range and when we went back to the clubhouse there were no balls available there either. Our cart was not fully charged and struggled to get us up inclines. When we went to the clubhouse to get a cold beverage with ice after making the turn, we found the restaurant closed. It was 4 pm. Since we couldn't rest up and refresh ourselves at that point, we decided to throw in t he towel.

Great design
Love the layout, will play again and know what to do. You don’t need driver that often, but can hit it if you like. Several blind tee shots so take time to look at the hole in front of you. Greens very slow but true. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the views.
Thank you for your review, u000004189219. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Hawk's Eye Golf Resort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great course
Try to play Hawk’s Eye when ever we are in Bellaire. The course offers a fair test from all tee boxes. I am now 70 years old and play from the gold tees. I had a ball. My wife enjoyed her round from the reds. The course is in excellent condition. We will be back.

GREAT COURSE!!
It was about 45 minutes from Traverse City, but we’ll worth the drive. Probably the best layout I have played in the area and I have played them all. And the course was kept in impeccable shape.

Great Condition
We picked a nice warm morning to play. Course was in great condition for all the rain we've received lately. Fairways were in good condition as well as the greens. We did get wet before the round was over - very wet - but it was a warm rain. This is a nice looking course.
