Golden Hawk Golf Club

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.

Friday afternoon golf
This course has a ton of potential. The layout is classy and interesting. The condition was a little rough in places, but nothing that can’t be fixed. In fact, it looks like they are fixing and upgrading it a bit. For $29 (GolfNow hot deal) it was a very good bargain. I’ll be back, for sure. Also Kevin in the pro shop was very friendly and helpful.
A good option for golf in SE Michigan!
Fun course to play and great for teh price. Staff is always friendly too.
Variety Layout/Great Staff
Considering I played this after an outing on a Sunday afternoon, nobody was on course and my round was 2.5 hrs by myself. Greens were slightly bumpy, bunkers a bit rocky, and the cart paths were terribly dusty. However, the variety of holes compared to most courses was excellent. A challenging layout from the tips, with a few dog legs, some tees over water, and a few inviting par 5’s made for a fun round. Staff was very formal and cordial, including the cart staff.
Gem
This course is a gem. Most courses in my area are flat and wide open. This course has slope and elevation, well place hazards and kept quite nice in a year when other course are suffering. Can't wait to shoot it again!
Rude Restaurant Lady
If you’re having a bad day say home. The check in staff starters and cart wash staff are amazing and make you feel very welcome. The course is in amazing condition.
For the first time at the turn I went in and ordered drinks a two hot dog. The lady taking my order was rude very unpleasant and swiped my credit card so fast and hard I had to finally pay cash. There was nothing wrong with my card.
I will definitely book again but avoid the restaurant in the future
Great course! I love how it’s so wooden. I feel like I’m up north. Friendly staff
Great Round
The course has recovered from all the water damage and is very good. We played the 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours. It was great.
