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.

Nice Course, Great helpful staff

Very Nice Northern Michigan Couse. Hills, Sand, Water and at 6400 yds from the Whites just the right length. Beautiful sculpted track well manicured. Can't wait to play it again

Fabulous course

Course conditions were terrific. Staff was great. Perfect weather no push & no rush, just steady golf. Course is long from the whites. Still a fun challenge, but tiring. Due to length from the white tees, it required a lot of up and downs to score good.
Who cared about score when the course conditions are great, along with a cool day (65-70 degrees) and sunney, and a great buy from golfnow.
Course is worth the regular rate. Will play every time I come to Northern Mich. Too early in the season for the food and beverage. No beverage cart midweek this early in season. Couldn"t blame them hardly any paly.

A course that I would recomend to friends.

The course itself is very well maintained, however
I was a little disappointed in the golf carts. They
where not very smooth and seem to lack the power
to navigate the hilly course. Over all we had a pleasant outing and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Good Time!

This course is one of the value gems Up North. The course is well taken care of; challenging but playable for high handicappers. Never crowded -- don't know why. Very nice course that I would make my "home course" if just a little closer to - home!

The Hawks Eye Is Second To None

When most area courses are opening up at full summer prices, Hawks Eye golf course continues to remember that golf is for everyone and offers great spring and fall rates that allow the average person to experience one of the best courses in northern michigan. We drove 35 miles to get to this course and its worth every mile. Will golf again. Check out their 2 for 1 wednesday specials at Hawks Eye Golf course. Thanks again Hawks Eye

Great course

Beautiful course. Well maintained. Scenic. Played this course a few times before and always enjoyable. This time, however, back nine was brutally slow. Ranger went out two or three times, but no avail. 3 hr back nine. Nice elevation changes.

Course was wet due to much recent rains. Scenic value of the course is great.

Stuck behind 2 sets of foursomes who did not play ready golf and were hitting from the wrong tees for their capabilities.

Greens were aerated last week!!

I have played Hawkseye each year since it opened. Now I've had two very bad experiences in a row at this place. Called course to book and absolutely no mention from them that greens had been aerated just two days before......BIG MISTAKE (no other courses in Traverse/Bellaire/Charleviox/Kalkaska area had been aerated except the Chief and I did find out Chief was aerated before even considering to play it the next day). It will now take much cajoling from my golfing partners to ever consider playing this course again. Course from tee to green was playable and in average shape but the greens weren't even close to being playable.....and that's half the game. Also appeared that a ladies league were put ahead of us teeing off on the 10th to play nine (we caught up to them on the 11th) so the pace on the back nine was extremely slow on a Thursday afternoon well after Labor Day. Ridiculous.

We love this course.

We played this course on a beautiful cool day in Sept. They were aerating the front nine, so we had to do the back nine twice. It was no problem and actually quite enjoyable. The bag boy and the starter/manager were both so pleasant and helpful. They made our visit to this course a great experience. We can't wait to golf this course again. I can't think of anything we disliked about it.
