Rating Snapshot
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.

Beautiful course
Amazing course to go out and test your skills, challenges off the tee box, challenging approach shots and putting is a tough one. Layout is beautiful but the course could be kept up a little better for the price. Overall great course and experience.

Great value! Diamond in the rough in NW Michigan
Hawk's Eye is a tremendous value in NW Michigan. Always in great condition, especially this year with all the rain we've had. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Pace of play is never an issue. Highly recommend playing this course if you get the chance!

Always a great time
With all the rain this year, the grass is green and lush, but the fairways had plenty of roll. Greens were immaculate. Will be back.

Must Play
Don't pass up any chance to play this course. You'll not this challenge
Whaling city country club
Staff rude, very unprofessional. Greens in poor condition. Golf elsewhere!
Poor customer service at Magnolia Landing
We made the turn during this 97 degree heat. We went into the snack bar area to get a drink and a quick sandwich. The bar person said that he did not think he could service us because we would lose our spot on the course. He went to check with the pro shop and they insisted that we go to the on course snack bar. We really just wanted to sit in the air conditioning and cool off. I gotta tell you that I have played hundreds of courses but NEVER have been turned away at the snack bar! I asked the pro shop person about this and he insisted that we could not have got a spot back on the golf course. We had NO ONE behind us all day! And even if we did, there was so few golfers in this heat, that there should not have been a problem continuing our round. I brought 5 other people with me. I am greatly disappointed that they would worry more about the pace of play then our health and safety!
Hawk
The grounds were in great shape! Some of the tee boxes were in horrible shape and not enough sand in the traps. Beautiful morning!
Great challanging course
Course in great shape. A challenge for a Floridian used to flat lands.
Beautiful course in a beautiful place
Hawk's Eye is a must-play when visiting Bellaire and Shanty Creek. It has its share of tough holes but nothing that would scare off golfers of any level of skill. The staff was super friendly, and it's so cool to sit out on the big deck watching golfers come up the holes in front of you.
Always love the course and staff
The layout and conditions are always too tier...the staff are great. Whenever we are in town we make sure to play the course.
Great Course and Resort
I booked a stay and play through Hawk's Eye for a group of 8. The entire process could not have been easier. Nick was great to work with from beginning to end.
We played Hawk's Eye, The Legend, and The Chief. Although our group enjoyed all 3, we agreed that Hawk's Eye was clearly the best. The layout is great and peaceful. We had rain off and on all weekend and the course was in excellent shape. If you are planning a golf trip to Bellaire, do not miss Hawk's Eye!
Great course
Always enjoy this beautiful course. Great condition.
