Rating Snapshot
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.

Great course for the price
Great course for the price in great shape. Unless you play from the blues keep your driver in the bag on most holes. Watch for the ponds u can't see off the tees.
beautiful course
great course....in great shape. greens were beautiful, but the pins were placed in a tough spot
good value
The course was in good condition. Better then I found it in the past. I played the back tees which I would recommend for better golfers.
Golden Hawk not so golden anymore
We have visited this course occasionally since it was new. The course itself if still in good shape.
However, signs of financial distress are showing.
The pro shop had no merchandise, the golf carts are old and could use some TLC, (i.e. ours had no windshield). There were swarms of bugs on the course and so a windshield would have been nice.
There is no ranger on the course, so play was very slow and a group of 5 (yes 5!) young men behind us were somewhat annoying with their power braking skids on the cart paths to see who could skid sideways closest to the other carts, and playing up on us when we were constantly waiting for a slow group in front of us. Overall,
I would not recommend this course because of the pace of play. This course used to be for golfers who enjoy the game, now it seems to be a place where golf is a secondary part of the experience.
Rain
Only played three holes and it started to rain. Went in for a rain check and was told no rain checks on any Golfnow bookings. I paid for my brother and I for a Saturday full of golf and all I got to do was play three holes and got rained on. It looks like it would of been nice.
Average
I played the course for $20 so that brings my overall rating up to a good. I would play the course again for a $20-$25 rate, but probably would not pay more than that. I got stuck behind a a couple of foursomes and that really slowed my round. I had wait times between 5 and 10 minutes on just about every hole. I thought the course conditions were average. Some of the tee boxes had overgrown trees in front of them limiting shot selection. I personally think there are other ways to make a course challenging than to stick a tree in front of the tee box. The clubhouse and restaurant were nicer than most.
Food needs to be warmer/cold buns and cold dogs
Xellent course amazing sand traps and awesome greens
They do not pair
The course is one of my favorites and is in great shape. The thing that I do not like is they have a course policy that they do not pair up golfers and that can be a problem for a single.
Nice course
First time playing the course and was impressed, the practice area was great with a separate chipping and putting green. The course is a bit short but proved to be a great round with a lot of water hazards that come into play often, the sand traps need a bit of attention as they have a lot of stones in them. The greens and tees are in very good condition with the greens being a little on the softer side. As for the facility it was nice, pro shop staff very friendly, the restaurant had a large selection on the menu and the food was good. I will be returning to this course as it was a great value and very fun to play, if you have not played this course yet place it on your list as you will enjoy it.
Nice course
Good course for a fairly good deal. Nice layout with some challenging holes. Fairways and greens were good with average speed but little break on the putts. Definitely will play again!
League play interfered with us finishing our round !
Sure would be nice if GolfNow would communicate with the course so we could finish our round. They said in the pro shop that it happens all the time. Disappointed
always fun at golden hawk
Course is always well kept and always a pleasure to go to... on some holes it can be a little challenging.... for example the first hole I felt a little rushed because they were busy and the driving range is right next to the hole and you have range balls all over the course
great course
The course was very wet because of terenchell downpour.
The starter was very pleasant.
The course ranger was rude as any person could be!!!!!
Love the course love the staff!
As always, course was great pro staff is EXCELLENT
club house
went in to eat after round. we sat there for way to long to get waited on. finally walked out.
Needs to learn how to book tee times
We had a 9:45 tee time. Got to the course a 9:20 and did not tee off till about 10:30. They booked our tee time and another group for the same time and they also had us teeing off in the middle of a Sunday morning league. We asked to tee off on the back nine and were told we could not. I like the golf course itself but probably won't go back until the fix the way they book tee times.
Great Course
The course is moderately difficult, and becomes challenging when playing from the back (blue tees). Greens are relatively flat, however plenty of hazards when approaching.
The only bad thing is the rangers do not stack reservations well.
Could be an out-standing course
This course has some well designed holes, but the power lines really takes it down. You'll find power lines on many holes.
I still play here a few times a year.
Great Bang For The Buck
I felt for the price, ($15 w/cart) the experience was great. The coarse was very well maintained. It had rained the morning I played, yet the coarse was not very wet. The were doing their aerating process, but let you know so you knew what you were getting into. Awesome experience. Will golf here again.
great course
i put this course up with my top 10 courses, no need for a discount to play this course but if you can get it for14 dollars on golfnow than why not. I just played greystone and gave it an equal evaluation so play them both.
