About
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.

Golden Hawk
We really enjoyed playing the course even with the jerks that rolled up to us to complain that we were somehow in the middle of their group and warned us not to touch their markers on the par threes. We T'd off at our appointed time of 11:44 and there was a group ahead of us on the green and no one behind us. We whatever those goofs were talking about is beyond me. The course was well maintained and provided us with a challenge. I'm sure will play there again sometime in the future.
Fairways were immaculate. Fun course. Enjoyed the round.
Terrible accommodations
Tee time at 2:56pm. Group of 4. No ranger to let us hit off after waiting five minutes for him at the first tee box. We teed off due to people starting to lineup. We get to the second hole or 3rd hole and the ranger drives up and say we tees off at the wrong hole. We should have started on the back 9 so now when we finish the front 9 we must play the front 9 again. Due to league or whatever was going on. Not our fault he wasn’t there to do his job. Terrible pace of play and organization from that specific ranger. Will never return. No wonder this is the only course with so many open tee times. On to the next!
Needs to communicate better to golfers scheduling tee times
There was an outing with six foursomes of ladies in front of us playing best ball. We were told to tee off on the back nine. It took our twosome 2 1/2 hours to play that nine holes. When we got around to the first tee to play our second nine the tee was backed up with two foursomes. So, we went back and played the back nine again. At the seventeenth hole the ranger came to us and asked why we were there. I told him. He said well, I have a golf league playing this hole and the eighteenth. He had nothing to say but hurry up!! We got to the eighteenth tee and there were two foursomes waiting to tee off. Thank goodness they let us play through. This was a bad experience. We paid $22.00 each and that is what it was worth I guess.

Gorgeous course for a fair price to golf
This course is well maintained and that’s on of the top reasons I love this course. Grass is plush and the people are friendly.
Been a few years
It’s been a while since I’ve played the course and it is much better than what I had remembered. The course itself is in such good conditions. The greens were rolling and much trickier than expected. The fairways and rough were perfect. SOME tee boxes could use some help. Carts paths could use some help as well.
Hello. We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Golden Hawk Golf Club. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
I was a first off the tee single at 6am, so while my pace was obviously great, can’t accurately comment on pace in general

Good Time
Had a good 18 holes started getting pushed a little at the 16th but other than that had a good time !!
This course holds its own
Look, you're not playing a top tier course, this is a great course to get out and swing, keep loose. It's short so you don't need your driver on most holes. Even from the tips but the fairways are decent and the greens were actually really nice (with the exception of a couple with patches). Again, not a top tier course.
I'll be playing there a couple more times this season.
Golden Hawk Review
The staff is nice and friendly.
The course on the other hand is in rough shape and has been all season. They overbook on weekends never starting on time - this has been the same for the past few years.
Golden Hawk has a weird shotgun every week that starts on holes 7,8,9 so they all can end at the same time not taking in consideration of the golfers that are on the course already and have to end their round or go to other holes and ruin your round.
The range never has golf balls and the "range balls" are all cut up and extremely old. You hit off older mats or grass that has divots everywhere, you cant get a comfortable stance. The range "targets" are just some flags in middle of a field without any true greens to aim at.
The sand bunkers have little to no sand in them, your either hitting off cement or out of standing water. The sand that is in the bunker is full of rocks that will ruin your club if you dont move ball out of trap.
The cart paths are all gravel and do not get graded often. Many potholes and standing water that you need to dodge.
The greens are inconstant speeds due to the lack of feralization. Super slow and many of the greens have turf damage that you need to putt through which makes the putt impossible.
I joined as a season member and have chosen not to golf at the course due to the above reasons. The GM made promises that haven't been kept by her, I only joined after having a conversation with her. Not sure if she gets the support she needs to turn the course into the course it has the potential to be.
