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.

Nice place, nice course
Very friendly staff and other players. Really nice layout and great location near the highway but feeling remote. Nice driving range too. A+
Disappointed in the conditions
Greens were the biggest disappointment. Very bumpy and chewed up. There was only a couple that were nice. The fairways were also beat up with alot of dead spots. The pace of play was super slow, not fun on a cold day. I'd wait a few months before considering coming back. Maybe they need time to improve the grounds.
Slo
Slow play, waited on every tee and four groups waiting to start the back nine. Took 5+ hours to play.
Slow greens, the course was wet so I get the situation and at least carts were allowed with caution on the fairways. But an elevated green could be cut, I would think.
Great price and place to play
Fully booked course on the first nice Friday of the year. My 3 some got paired with a random and we still were done in 4 hours flat. Didn't have to wait at every tee box or anything like that. Great job by the marshall and staff. Course always kept up well and prices are very affordable. My go to place to golf.
Early Season Greens- Good shape
Good shape for the time of year, Greens punched but no sand on them yet to fill any of the holes so extra bumpy. Better shape in some areas than when I played it a few years ago mid season.
Your Guess Is As Good As Mine
For this time of year, the course is in good condition. You could tell the greens were recently aerated, especially on the back nine where the holes were healing and the surface was bumpy. My biggest issue was there is not one set of markers on the tee boxes. The forecast looks like we will have at least two more weeks of decent weather. It's odd that a course would remove them.
Beautiful course & friendly staff
This course is beautiful and an easier play for beginners. up kept well and its friendly staff,great prices I will be back plenty in 2025
Golden Hawk
For some reason this course is challenging for me .
Tee times
Tee times every 5 to 10 mins, people constantly waiting or right on your butt.. they try and squeeze as many golfers in as possible in a hour. Often pairing two somes with other 2 somes to try and keep their pace at a rush.
Great course & staff
Everything was great. It was my first time there and the gentleman in the pro shop with glasses ( sorry I couldn’t remember his name) was extremely friendly and helpful. The course layout was good and challenging. I love that they have putting greens at the 1st and 10th tee so you can putt if there’s a wait. I will be back soon

Course was in good shape considering the rain two days prior
Enjoyable Golf
Everything went smoothly and no problems with slow players. Condition of the course is getting better.
