Great course

I have played the Hawks Eye several times and each time has been awesome. I love the course layout. It's very challenging, but still fun and rewarding.

Good course and opportunities for improvement

Great course with a lot of up and downhill shots.
Improvemenr opportunities are:
1) greens need to be a lot faster
2) needs to have hole location system

A fair walk spoiled

I've played Hawk Eye many times, and it has been one of my favorites till now. But many of the greens were in poor condition, with bare spots and an enormous # of unrepaired divots and other damage. While this might be true late in the season, you wouldn't expect it at this point.

Also, the course has removed water coolers from throughout the course, and no cart service was seen on the back 9. Another player mentioned hearing something about coolers being contaminated last year, but this should have been fixed, or at least golfers notified.

Dear WilliamKilloran,

Thank you so much for playing Hawk’s Eye and providing us with your feedback. Every day we strive to get better to provide a better experience to our golfers. We apologize you did not have a great time putting on the greens. We try very hard to keep the greens in top notch condition and we will work harder at trying to get all of the ball marks repaired.

We unfortunately do not have water coolers on the course like you said. We are very sorry you were not notified before your round or saw the beverage cart on the back 9. We will definitely make sure we are notifying all of our groups about no water on the course.
Once again, we appreciate your valuable feedback. We hope that you give us another chance later this season so we can be back on your favorite course list again. If you have more concerns please contact us at hawkseyegolf@gmail.com

Great deal

Played Hawks Eye in 4 hours with a 8:50 tee time. The layout is great, tricky greens. The only criticism is that the course conditions are a little sparse. The grass is not growing as well as my lawn, and I'm not a greens keeper. The layout and pace of play more than made this a great deal.

Only beef was the slow play

Always enjoy Hawk's Eye when we make the drive from Leelanau. Took nearly 5 hours for 2 of us to complete 18 due to the pokiness of the parties ahead of us. Ranger should have been out there speeding things up a bit. Other than that I recommend HE highly.

Beautiful Northern MI golf

Very scenic course, trees resembling fall.
Nice open fairways with hazards in strategic locations for the long ball hitters.
Greens are super fast (even after aeration and sanding).
We will be returning to play this course again.

Excellent course for the money

When you live in the middle of North Michigan golf country, it's hard to have a favorite course. However, of the six courses within a 15 minute drive, Hawks Eye is my personal favorite. Lots of water, beautiful rolling terrain, few parallel fairways, great views, and challenging enough to make you work. For value, they often have special deals and great twilight rates.

Beautiful and fun Northern MI course

Very nice course. Well layed out. There is never another hole next to one another. Plenty of forgiveness but not a 'easy' course.

Better than expected after reading reviews here

I went to hawks eye expecting horrible conditions from some if the reviews here. I was quite satisfied with the conditions I found here. Was it the best maintained course I've ever played? No, but nothing to keep me away. Course was wonderful with lots of elevation changes and scenic holes abound. Worth the stop to play. 17 is a beast
