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.

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.
Favorite course for the money.
I love this course! It has amazing scenery for only being 30 minutes out of the city. In my opinion, it's the closest to up north golf without going up north. I have no trouble recommending this course for beginners or pros, fun and beautiful.
good Conditions
Pretty nice course. Not overly long at 6300 from the blues. Most holes are under 400 yds but require placement off the tee. Not much room to spray.
Not very good
could not go to club house on turn because of wedding. Took 2:1/2 hours to ply front nine no rangers on course to speed up groups looking for balls after every hit ! Quit playing on the 11 th hole ( playing solo) they would not let me play thru so I had to wait & wait & wait & then wait some more !
Very Nice course
Golden Hawk is in my regular "rotation" and we play here multiple times during the year. The course condition overall is above average. Although some bunkers tend to fill with water and need work. One other thing is the blind tee shot on #10, if you are not familiar with the course then you might not be aware that water can come into play if you hit left.
They were putting up new stone/granite tee box signs when I was there last. This will be a great update.
Overall a challenging but fair course to play. Especially when you get a deal through GofNow.com
friendly staff
very nice place to play. the general manager Joe went out of his way to make sure I was going to be a happy customer
good course
expensive but really nice course not for a beginner golfer very friendly staff very clean little older resort but good course
Good Course/Slow Golfers
My only real complaint about the visit to Golden Hawk was the pace of play. We got stuck behind a foursome of "older people" (retirees) who essentially held us up on every shot for 16 holes. They weren't playing "ready Golf" and were just not that good. Not wanting to be rude we patiently waited all round for them to allow us to play through as we were a twosome. However that never happened which was very frustrating. If I had to guess I would say they were members who didn't give a care about others on the course, who they were holding up all day. There were two other twosomes behind us that were held up most of the day as well.
I would try course again, but if I ran into the same problem, that would be it.
PLAY BLUE TEES
Do not let the first hole scare you with its length. Play from the blues or it will take the driver out of your hands on a handful of holes.
Nice course, staff iffy!
The course was in awesome shape. Fairways were perfect for this time of year, (expected drier, but perfect was the case).
However, the staff almost did not accept my prepaid green fees because he said there is no way I should have gotten such a good rate, (fire special from GolfNow). He made me wait and kept griping until there was a line up of people behind me. He then said he would take up with the source.
