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.

Must fix ballmarks
The people are very nice at this course. Very helpful, but they need to put an emphasis on fixing ballmarks. I fixed at least a half-dozen on EVERY green just around where my ballmark was. The greens would be above average if they were properly repaired. Also there was a sixsome playing on a busy day. Small changes would really improve this course
Nice course.
First we are in the Covid 19 era. This is a very nice course that it pretty well kept. Ball washers were removed for safety. Like all courses most of us can afford, cart paths were a little rough but not horrible or a big deal. Played 9 holes behind 2 league's and still played in 2 hours. The league's were fast but not big on fixing their ball Mark's. Greens were nice other than ALOT of ball marks. There are power lines on a few holes which somehow takes away from the course being pretty nice. Unfortunately like most michigan courses alot of trees have been removed due to emerald ash borer killing them. Overall pretty nice and this is coming from a bit of a poor golf snob.
Back poor layout
The greens need some repair the front was good the help was good!
Awesome course
This is a challenging scenic course. The snack bar is very reasonably priced for what you get.
Good
Very good course for beginners to intermediate players. Course is wide open which is nice unless the sun is beating down. Overall experience was a good one and I will continue to come back! Staff was very friendly too!
A glitch in the system
I booked two rounds of golf on May 2nd for 30.00 a piece. On the website it stated that cart was included. Upon arrival to the course, I was told that was a glitch in the system. No pull carts to rent were available. Had to walk and carry my bag weighing 20+ pounds. Not the most enjoyable afternoon. Be careful when booking your rounds online.
Not worth it
No carts allowed despite the booking saying it includes one. I drove out here specifically for it.
Wouldn’t give a rain check for later...
Won’t be back, much nicer courses around and closer to me for cheaper
Fall Fun
This is a great course mover very long but tight in some areas. The greens are always in good shape and the fairways match. Club house manager is a very accommodating guy. This course is worth the money.
This is one of the many courses I play all over Michigan!
Fun round
Course in excellent condition and very playable fun round
No Complaints...All is good
Everything was perfect. The course is in the best condition I have seen all year. We arrived early and were allowed to tee off right away. No one in front of us and no one behind us! It was like we had our own private golf course. 18 holes in 3 hours and 20 minutes. Scored one of my best rounds this year (82).
Good Sunday Morning Round
Solid option in this area. 9 holes on a Sunday AM was expecting it to be pretty full and it was. Good for them, kid in the shop said we got a great deal on GolfNow so that made us feel good. It was nice to see a 9 hole option for 2 players on a Sunday AM.
Pretty nice layout, blind first tee shot and played the whites as 3 other players in the group needed to play there. I only hit driver 2 or 3 times and if played blue might have been a little more normal 5 to 7 times. Big greens and everything was in pretty good condition, not pristine but good, fairway weren't shaggy but it was early in the AM so wasn't tight. Layout was pretty standard for the area, a few open holes that run along side each other which is good for spraying the ball around and 2 to 3 shots that look like bowling alleys where you have to keep it tight and forced layup.
To Many Outings
This was the third time I have played here this year. Each time we have had to follow a large outing made up of people that play probably once or twice a year. It was a death march. When am I going to learn to ask ahead of time if there is an outing the day I want to play.
Sad
The lack of attention Vargo Management Company is providing at this course is extremely noticeable. The condition they present this course to the customers in is an absolute disgrace. My advice to the owner of the golf course is to fire Vargo, immediately. I see it as the only way to save the reputation of your property as a hidden gem before it’s too late and they’ve stripped it of it’s beauty. For some added confirmation, give a call to Chandler Park or Racham and ask how much money and effort were required to restore the health of their property once Vargo had been in control of it for a relatively short period of time.
