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 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.
Great course
Absolutely beautiful and fair. Worth driving from Traverse City to play.
Thank you for taking the time to review us zainman. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Hawk's Eye Golf Resort thanks you!

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.

Awesome sauce

Would return
Pace was a bit slow on occasion but to be expected for a single. Elevation drop and climb can be difficult to judge at times .White tee boxes could be a bit more forgiving
and can play long especially on a windy day. All in all for what I payed it was a great course.

Fun round, great course, bunkers need work
A great layout that offers generous landing areas off most tees. Only disappointment is the bunkers. They have tiny pebbles in them and need more sand. They really don’t match the quality of the conditions you see at this course. We got a hot deal for $65, but if you are paying $100 for a round, you would expect the bunkers to be better than your local muni.
Still enjoyed my round and will come back. Hopefully some future investment is coming.

Hello, weave2rd. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at Hawk's Eye Golf Resort!
Good course, but....
This is a great course in terms of manicure and layout, but it is not worth the amount they are charging. There is no governance over pace of play and it seemed as though there were many inexperienced golfers, which is not conducive to the course level of play.
We will not go back! Although we really enjoyed the pub staff and cart girl Kyli!
Hello u038844618. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
Enjoyable course
Challenging design and well taken care of. Ranger was kind to keep me satisfied with some that were slower. I have played here 4 or 5 times and it is my favorite course in the area for my Michigan vacations.
