Great value through use of Golf Now. I felt like I was playing a great, top condition golf course for a bargain price!

Hawk's Eye GC is in great condition from tee boxes, to fairways, to greens. Only complaint would be that some holes need to provide first time golfers with info about blind shots or where they can drive through the fairway. Another issue is needing an additional club or two when going uphill. But various holes offer challenge and interesting layouts.

The course is very challenging due to all of the undulation and high rough.

The course was very scenic and undulating. It seemed like we were always hitting to uphill greens. When we didn't keep the ball on the fairways, we were heavily penalized with extra shots due to the exceptionally high rough. We forgot to ask if that's typical during the entire season. If you're not hitting the ball straight, your round will be very frustrating and your score will surely be higher than normal. If the rough isn't always that high, we would play here again.

Challenging and Narrow, in very good shape

For me, this is a very challenging course, it definitely rewards fairway play and penalizes a player for hitting in the rough or OB. This is a fun course, and very narrow, greens were in great shape and overall so was the whole course. Would play again.

course was in great shape and very challenging from the back tees. but managemen problems made the day less than it should have beent

Staff were very friendly and course was in great shape but the owners/managers were in a fued with the resort owners so there was no club house, resturant or bar facility. The pro shop/starter house was a temperory office trailer and there was no beverage cart, food or alcohol available for the guests. The day could have been a great experience but was simply a day of golf with no other fun features.

Great Design with Potential

This course was a fairly young course but with its designs and unique character, it definitely has potential to be something special. When the greens mature and their condition are thinly cut, it could be a very difficult course for your short game. Would certainly re-visit when I go back to Northern Michigan.

This is one of the most beautiful courses in Northern Michigan. Every hole is a treat for the eyes.

I try to bring my golfing guests to play Hawkeye because of it sheer beauty. Everyone should play it if they have a chance.
