About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 6402 yards
Slope 118
Rating 68.9

Golden Hawk Golf Club is an 18-hole course in Casco Township, which is just south of Richmond. You won't find too many elevation changes throughout the course but you will encounter plenty of water. There are also 36 bunkers coming into play on 12 holes. The course isn't particularly long at 6,117 yards from the back tees, but the par 4s offers some good length and the ample room off the fairways gives the course a spacious feel. The fairways are generous and quite forgiving, but golfers will face tough approaches to the greens, which are often nestled into the woods or bordered by ponds. The slightly elevated, undulating putting surfaces require accuracy. Golden Hawk Golf Club is a fair test but it's player friendly enough for high handicappers to approach with confidence.

Nice round of golf on a cold day.

Had a nice day on the course. You could tell they have been rooming some trees and other items to make for a better golf experience. Did not really interact with the staff alot. Course was well maintained and provided some good challenges. Will play again in the future.

Slow!

The pace of play was so slow. We were a 2 Sum and it took us 4 hours to play 9 holes they booked 256 tee times I overheard them saying in the pro shop, for $50 a person they need to do better. That was very unacceptable

Well manicured

Golden Hawk is a well maintained course with greens that are always in great shape. I love playing here it’s pretty challenging for all players. I play here 4-6 times a season. It’s well worth the money and the food in the clubhouse is great too. I especially like the pizzas. If you get a chance go play it. Thumbs up!

Needs a Ranger

More than a 5 hour round. At one point there were three groups waiting on the tee with one group on the fairway and one group on the green. Very frustrating!
