About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 6693 yards
Slope 146
Rating 73.3

Hawk Hollow Golf Club boasts 27 holes of challenging championship golf, a layout that has been ranked as one of the top 50 public golf courses in Michigan. The layout encompasses a diverse terrain that offers water features and plenty of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Trees also frame many of the holes and there are strategically placed bunkers lurking beside the greens. The 12th hole or the third hole on the middle nine is one of the most challenging par 3s on the golf course. This hole plays across a large lake to a massive, undulating green. Even seasoned players are pleased with two putts and a par on this hole. Hawk Hollow is best known for the challenging layout but it also boasts two driving ranges, a short game practice area, and a large practice putting green.

Excellent value and pleasant surprise!

The Hawk Hollow Course is every bit as challenging as the sister course Eagle Eye. The course layout requires good shoots with some forgiveness. The greens are receptive and putt and roll excellently. Definitely give this course s try.

ONE OF THE BEST COUSES IN LANSING MICHIGAN. The Staff was professional and fulfilled our need. Green had at least 4.9 speed, nice for soft touch putters. Overall had a great time.

Hawk Hollow on par with Eagle Eye next door

I always assumed that Eagle Eye was the best golf facility in the Lansing area, based on all the reviews and state rankings by major magazines I'd seen. My first visit to Hawk Hollow threw that notion into the bunker. Hawk Hollow and Eagle Eye are more like equals. Hawk Hollow's greens were slower than most of the courses I'd played all week throughout Michigan on a tour at the end of June, and its rough was so thick it looked like the maintenance crew skipped a mowing cycle, but the routing and serenity of the holes I played (nos. 1-18) were outstanding. There are some serious risk-reward shots that make the day fun, even when you fail (like I did at the 200-yard carry off the ninth tee).

Great but slow

Everything about Hawk is great but the pace of play is pathetic. We had 4 groups on one hole. What's even more sad is they have starters and rangers but we never saw either, not once did a ranger come around to tell the slow group to hurry up. Of course when we finished a ranger was sitting by the bag rack on a cart. It sucks because I think Hawk is better than Eagle and one of the best courses in the area. Too bad pace of play ruins the experience.

Great shape for this early in the season!

Excellent course and excellent price through Golf Now. Fairways and greens in great shape for early April, but always in good shape when I've played here. Hope to play it again soon.

Snobby golf

This place and eagle eye across from it are quite snobby. Meaning they charge alot to play. Thanks to golf now at least you can play in November for a fair rate. Play them both sometime but there are a lot of other choices in the area.

This course has as much up north beauty and feel as any I've driven 2 or more hours to play right here in Lansing. I always enjoy my experience as the beverage and food is reasonably priced and the staff makes me feel welcomed.

My husband & I really enjoyed Hawk's Hollow. It is a very scenic course and conditions were very good. Greens were a little slow.
