A "must see" course in Northern Michigan.
Hawk's eye is one of my favorite courses in Michigan. Every year, my golf league takes an up north golf trip and this is a course we always make sure to play!
The layout of this course is spectacular that is surrounded by beautiful scenery on every hole. Expect visually appealing, dramatic elevation changes that will test all of your skills. Once on the putting green, be careful not to three putt, because Hawk's eye's greens are perfectly maintained and lightning quick.
Check out Golfnow to see if Hawk's eye is offering any Hot Deals. Chances are, you can get a round of golf on a amazing course relatively cheaply.
vacation
very nice course we were on vacation this course ranks as one of the best in the area
Fair challenge
Great layout! Fun course to play and conditions were good. Ranger was out and monitored pace of play, something you don't always see. Lots of elevation changes made for some challenging shots. Would definitely make this a must play if you're in the area. Player tip: if you have an uphill green and think you have enough club, go back and add another!! And you will have plenty of uphill approaches!!
Great review and great advice! Thank you for the kind words and we hope to see you again soon!
Good fun test of golf
Nice experience and course is good shape with a few bunker issues here and there. Greens were medium fast and true. Course starts with typical resort feel holes and gets better and better especially the back 9. Has a mountain course aspect on the back 9 for sure with a lot of uphill and downhill shots with beautiful views. Great deals on website and good value course. Would play again for sure.
Thank you for the great review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with us and we hope you'll play us again when you're in town!

One of the best courses I've play !!! Great layout & fairways were like greens !!!
Looking forward to playing again when we get up north.
Hard to find & I never heard of it before but will tell everyone about one of the States best keep secrets !!!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a great review, Jim! We appreciate the kind words and feedback. Please come and visit us again soon!
Love this course!!
We love this place, everything about it is fabulous! The course is spectacular, awesome views and the staff rocks!! We play there a lot!
Great to hear! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Golfers time
The course is amazing with challenges on every hole. Great views from the elevations. It's unfortunate that some golfers think that taking all the time in the world to watch their buddies practice swings and look for balls is their prerogative but when groups are stacking up that's when it loses its luster. Like most courses I experience there are no rangers or they don't know how to manage golfers pace of play but the impact results in rounds taking up to an hour longer like we experrinced.
We appreciate the review! Sorry to hear about the slow pace of play. We understand that is frustrating and we appreciate your patience.
A course this good deserves more play
The course was play empty and the person behind the counter indicated that was the new normal. What a shame!!!
Few courses can beat me like this one did. From the back tees, I was thoroughly whipped. The course was beautiful, had a great layout, but was hard. The fairways were deceptively narrow in landing areas, guarded by woods, tall grass, and significant sloping.
At times the course bordered on unfair, but never got there. This will test the integrity of your game and force you to hit shots you likely don't practice that often.
Go play it!
What an excellent review! We appreciate the feedback and tips! Hope to see you out here again soon!
Great Northern Michigan course
Course is spread out (almost no side by side holes) with beautiful scenery. A lot of sand traps!
Not a lot of workers at course on our day of play..manager said it's been hard to find workers who want to work.
Thank you for the kind words! We hope to see you again in the near future!
Hawks eye rocks
What a greay course. Definitely an up north beauty with elevation changes and great views on interesting holes.
Thank you for your 5 Star review! We are happy you enjoyed your day with us. Hope to see you again!
WOW! Everything I expect from up north golf!
Me and friends rented out the condos at Shanty Creek for a weekend getaway and we played the Hawks Eye on Saturday and the course was amazing from the greens, to the fairways, rough and the scenery. Bit challenging with some hidden shots but overall what a fun course to play!!! Definitely put it on your list for up north golf!
Thank you for your 5 Star review! We are so happy to hear that you and your friends had a great day on our course. Hope to see you again if you are in the area in the future!
Add to your list of courses to play in Northern Michigan
The course was in really good shape. The greens were consistent, and the staff was friendly. A great place to play a round of golf!
Thanks for your review! We are happy to hear that you have had an all around good experience with us and are thrilled you have recommended us as a must play course in Northern Michigan! Come back and see us soon!
Hawk's Eye Great
Played Hawk's Eye on a Tuesday afternoon in October.
Weather was great, course was beautiful.
Hi SueRansom,

Great time as always
Played in great conditions at a great pace of play at a great golf course. What more could you ask for. Only criticism would be pin positions were not clear and varied from what graphics on card indicated. Other than that, it's a go back destination.
Hi Vaughn3129624,
Thanks for leaving a great review. We are happy you found the course in great condition, we try our best to keep it that way! We can't wait to have you back!

Great Course - Needs player care
The course is a great example of a resort course. It's not just this course but almost every course you play. The players don't take care of the course. There were large divots all over the fairways that were not repaired or even an attempt to repair. The same goes for the greens, plenty of ball marks not repaired. It's a shame as this is a beautiful course that's worthy of playing over and over.
Awesome post Aerification round
They aerified greens on Monday and it was Wednesday when we played. Greens were sandy but still very playable and in really good shape with just 2 days post punch. Weather has been perfect and today was no change. Staff was awesome and course was more picturesque than I thought it was going to be. Some really great views from tee boxes and driving around the grounds. Will for sure be back and play what I was told is the more well-known back 9 holes.
Awesome layout!
The course has many demanding shots to make, which makes it a challenge. There are many holes with serious elevation changes. The only downside is pace of play. If you have 5 hours plus to play this course, check it out.
Exceptional Experience
The course was in very nice condition. The entire staff was wonderful and very accommodating. The pace of play was very slow but not so aggravating because the course is very beautiful.
Hi brianb61,

Finally able to complete a round here
I have come to this course twice in four years, but never finished secondary to darkness or weather. Got allthe way through this time and really enjoyed it! Ran into some congestion on the last four holes, and the twosome behind us were lacking golf etiquette, by talking loudly and playing the radio (get earplugs, dummy! Life doesn't have a soundtrack!) challenging greens, but beautiful natural views; the wind made club selection thoughtful. A great course to play, we drove down from Boyne (visiting from Ohio.)
Hi doctorsteve,
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We are happy you were able to finish the round this time! We are sorry that twosome behind you weren't following Golf etiquette. We wish there was more we can do.
We hope to see you soon!

Nice Round
I played on a Saturday evening for $35 per person. Our foursome practically had the course to ourselves. I have not played many of the Northern Michigan resort courses so I cannot compare this course to others. But I was very pleased with the round. The course is set off the main road. The atmosphere is tranquil. The course is surrounded by natural scenery. There are frequent elevation changes and excellent views from some of the raised tee boxes. I will surely play this course again if I'm in the area.
Hi TimothyBaywal,
