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.

mud run
an ok course with a nice layout,the only problem is that they had many inches of rain in the previous few days,resulting in a cart path only situation.here was the problem..the cart paths had huge potholes all over them and they were covered in massive puddles-we were sinking 6-10 inches deep in water on the paths!a couple of holes were virtually unplayable,with a good drive down the fairway ending up in 6 inches of water in a 10 x 20 yard pool of standing water.i think I would like this course when it dried out,just did not know the conditions were so bad
Great course
Even though course was covered with water due to heavy rain 2 days prior, course was in excellent condition. It's actually in great condition year round. One of my favorite courses to play.
Frosted Staff at 40 degrees.
It was over 40 degrees in the morning but play was halted due to frost? Staff were less than diplomatic about allowing people to walk on the grass or use the driving range Matt area. After starting 2 hours after the scheduled tee time, the course was nice. There was no beverage cart. So after 7 hours at the course we were eager to leave and get a soda. The course layout is fun, and the pace was not too bad once we got started.
Always Slow
I have played this course a half a dozen times. I love the course itself and how beautiful the surroundings are. However on every occasion that I have booked a round at this course I have not once been able to tee off at my scheduled time. Now I understand a couple of times was due to heavy frost in the mornings, and i get that. But the other times have all been due to lack of spreading out the tee times. Each time I've played my tee off time has been delay on average 45 minutes because there are 6 other foursomes ahead of me that have been delayed because the tee times are not getting spread out enough. Sad to say but I will not be booking any more rounds at this facility.
over booking
arrived for 11:20 Am tee time was told there is a 45 minute back up but was not told why except slow play. checked in with the starter, and found out there was a golf outing going on. I could not believe a course would offer tee times with a outing at the same time. I played 9 holes at 3:30 minutes and left. I generally play this course twice a year but will not return. If courses want to know why they are not making money, and people are losing interest in golf it is because of the all day time it take to play a round. Please get Rangers on the courses to help speed up play 18 holes in 4 hours should be the norm
very nice course
Was very impressed with this course. Everything thing about this course was 5 stars. Greens, fairways, bunkers and tee boxes were all in great shape. I really enjoyed the layout of the course. This was my first time here but ill be back many times in the future.
fall golf
the vargo company did a great job maintaining this course this year. we played in 50 degree weather and had a good track.
Been awhile
First time here in a couple years, and we will be coming back. Course was in great shape and was nice day with my son and friends. Only downside we had to follow a group of 5 guys playing together. We weren't in a hurry so we were ok with it but don't know if others would be.
Surprisingly Plush
We were pleasantly surprised that the course was so green and manicured. Especially after playing so many courses that were burned out due to the heat and lack of rain. The pace of play was great. We teed off at 12:30pm and finished the 18 holes by 3:40pm.
The hot dogs are good too!
Fair challenge.
Huge storm night before, so course was quite soggy and many traps were lakes. All in all the course was playable.
Good Course Great Value
Course was in great shape. Its a fun course with just the right amount of challenge.
Good coarse
Overal it was in great shape just need to cut the greens more often each some were fast and then some were slow just be more consistent
Great value coarse
Very nice round for the money
My thoughts!
Course was in great shape and the greens were a good speed.
roe's view
THE COURSE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE GREENS WERE 75% RECOVERED FROM A RECENT AERATION BUT DECENT.
