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.

Outstanding.
Course hass a beautiful layout. Not easy but if you keep your ball in the short stuff it's pretty fair
Awesome sauce
First time at hawk eye got a great deal and the course was perfect conditions greens where a little slow but it was hot out
rusty0robbin, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Hawk's Eye Golf Resort.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to review us golfcolo. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Hawk's Eye Golf Resort thanks you!
Great course! In great condition & very challenging, especially from the championship tees!! I highly recommend this course :)
Bell1960, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Hawk's Eye Golf Resort.
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.
Your feedback is important to us, u3414578. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Hawk's Eye Golf Resort.

They just overbook the course
The layout of this course is pretty cool, standard up north Michigan course. It was just so disappointing to play in a twosome and have the round take near 6 hours. There were several group in front of us who seemed like it was their first time golfing and had no idea what pace of play is. Then they sent out the head pro because we called and told him they were playing each hole in 25-30 min. He drives up to us and just tells us there’s nothing he can do because there’s too many groups. Well buddy you shouldn’t have overbooked the course. Also the greens were very average. Wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone.
Hi, eastonius09. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Hawk's Eye Golf Resort. We hope to see you again soon.
Pristine Golf Course!
If you haven’t played Hawk’s Eye, it’s a must
In Northern Michigan, Not a lot of Water shots
Some deep Bunkers though, Perfect fairways & Greens.....lots of Elevation changes 200-300ft
Great views & plenty of Wildlife.
I thought the value was good, We jumped on a Hot Deal, and got to go out as a twosome, Pace of play was no problem as the caliber of Golfers was good.....Staff was very friendly....You’ll love it

Hawks Eye on a Bet
My friends said to play Hawks Eye so I Purchased the hot deal off Golf Now since I have wanted to play this course for the last three years. We played on a Monday morning and were able to play a twosome and play at a good pace for twelve holes. The foursome ahead of us really slowed down on the back nine but ended up quitting so we were able to finish on our pace. The course is outstanding and the greens very large and receptive. It will help to know the greens next time since they have lots of slopes and elevation changes

Wow
What a great course. Staff friendly. I was so impressed by this layout. Literally most of the holes could be their signature. Every hole was by itself and the elevation change was impressive. I would definitely recommend.

Nice course
Great layout of a course. Got an exceptional deal through Golf Now. Only drawback was that the greens were very slow like velcro. Otherwise very enjoyable
