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.

Good job

This year has been terrible for all courses so I take that into consideration. The fairways were excellent, the greens were great besides the may a holes who don’t bother the repair pitch marks! If you are lucky enough to finally hit a green in the air it is proper etiquette to repair the the area that your ball landed. It is not fn rocket science!

Golden Hawk

This is a decent course. Some of the greens and fairways are patchy. The cart paths are really rough full of pot holes and water. This could be a much nicer course if they did some improvements.

Green and soft conditions

As dry as it has been the course was very playable. I expected big bounces and lots of roll but it played true. Tough to beat $30 and under 4 hour round!

Pace of play

Pace of play was awful. Waiting on every shot and every hole. Tee times just scheduled too close. Has awesome potential. Wouldnt recommend golfing here until tee times are spread out.

Sloooooow play

Seems like the course are getting greedy post COVID.

Stacking 4 foursomes at the tee block at the same tee time this course is no exception.

5 hour round not a pleasant experience.

Greens were not in great shape.
