The course is very picturesque.

Tee boxes were not level or very well kept. Greens were too spongy and did not roll true.

Great course, in not-so-great condition

Hawk's Eye has been a long time favorite course in the Bellaire/Shanty area. It offers variety, can be challenging, but is also fair and very playable. We've been playing this course for more than 10 years during and it's always been in pristine condition, until this year. We were disappointed in the fairways, and in the greens. Lots of brown patches and dead areas. Which was odd, considering the other Shanty courses we played last weekend were in fantastic shape. Hawk's Eye is still a perennial favorite, so I hope and trust the course returns to it's formerly terrific condition.

Great track!!!

Phenomenal design! So many great looking holes with friendly fairways and challenging and well protected greens. Elevation changes on many holes are breath taking. Good test of golf on a beautiful setting!!

Northern Michigan Golf

I put the course at extremely challenging because I have a hard time hitting a strait tee shot. if you hit the ball ball strait you should score well. Lots of rolling hills and some nice elevation changes with great views of Antrim county

Deadspots and a Missing Green Parts

Lots of brown spots and dead grass over the course. One green has sod replaced and it was not careful, leaving small sand bunkers on the green.

Overall, it was a fun course.

One of my favorite courses

I play this course every time I go up north and every time I am amazed at how much I love it. There are a lot of hills and it is challenging. The 17th hole par 5, is one of my favorite holes of all time. It is just a great course.

One of My Favorites

This course is one of my favorites, because of this scenic views. Sometimes the pace of play can be exceedingly slow due to the challenging course. Today, it took nearly five and one half hours to play because there was a group of 20 golfers in front of us and you had to wait on every hole. The course frequently offers special rates and it's a bargain if you're not in a hurry.

A victim of the golf recession

Hawk's Eye is potentially a great course on a fabulous piece of property. Unfortunately, lack of play seems to have severely limited their maintenance budget. I think they do a good job with the resources that they have.
The course takes advantage of the northern Michigan landscape with plenty of doglegs and elevation changes. Landing areas are fair and generous, greens are very large and undulating. I think you will like the course but will feel as I do, that it is a shame they don't have a larger maintenance budget.

Hawk's Eye-Great Value

Great, hilly course with tons of elevation changes. Greens excellent. Fairways good. Well kept and a hoot to play. Winds throughout woods with great ambiance. Slobs play here & we picked up their beer cans but what can one expect for a resort course in this day and age. We'll definitely go back.
