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.

Course layout itself was good. The travel conditions were terrible. Cart paths were extremely muddy and uneven. NEDD TO BE REPAIRED.
Golden Hawk in November
Nice course but pace was slow and holes were pretty close together. Staff great and value was good.
Needs some TLC
I hope they work on this course before its to late. Needs help
Good Value for the price
It's November so I don't expect a complete kept up course. The greens were a little long but but can't complain too much. Fairways were in good shape. Main complaint is the cart paths in bad condition, many were flooded and had pot holes. Worth the money.
Always a great course for the money
A lot of fun to play without that many tough holes but still somewhat of a challenge
Come on Golden Hawk!
Fairways and Greens are all jacked up and patchy. Cart paths are wrecked. Bunkers are holding a lot of water and it didn’t rain. Golf carts are showing their age, all of them are missing windshields and have been for a while. Owners are neglecting a solid golf course. What a shame.
Great Round
Always fun playing here with no complaints. Got there super early and they let my friend and I be the first ones off. We got so far ahead of the 4-some behind us the ranger allowed us to play slower and play two balls a player. Some greens showed some weather damage and one hole was under construction but the course was in great condition regardless.
Pretty good. Give it a try
I arrived at the tees right at my scheduled Tee Time. There were five groups of golfers waiting on the tees ahead of us. My group had to wait 15-25 minutes to be able to tee off. But then after we got off, it was nice.
Decent course
Decent course overall, and in fairly good shape. Only real issue was they sent a kid around on a golf cart telling everyone they were on their last hole... the sun was still up. We paid for 18, and they wanted us to stop after 15. I've never been kicked off a course early when there was plenty of light left.
Out tee time was at 12:24. We finally got off a CART at 1:30. Then on 1st hole a backup. One hour and 15 minutes PAST our tee time and first drive. Total round 6 hours+. Course has declined badly. Greens burnt our and bare on several holes and bunkers were MUD. WON'T BE BACK. The course should have offered us everyone that was waiting for 1 cart coming back every 15 minutes. SMH
Carts
They were overbooked and had to wait 40 minutes to get a cart
It is what it is.
The only complaint I have is the narrow margins of tee off times... Every 4 minutes is a little much...
We had a 10:32am tee time. We didn't tee off until after 11:00am. The line-up of carts on hole #1 looked like a parade.
DO NOT GO
Paid for 18 holes but left after the front 9 due to slow play. Took us almost 4 hours to play the front 9. Even if pace of play was decent the course was mediocre at best. NOT WORTH IT. GO ELSEWHERE
Slow play should be out lawed
I think before any golf course lets people play any more than nine holes, they should be timed on every hole. This golf course needs a ranger to keep the slow players from holding up everyone behind them. It should never take over 5 hours to play 18 holes like it did yesterday.
