Spectacular views, landscape, and layout

This is one of my all time favorites. The course features great views on every hole. The layout is challenging but fair. I noticed the ball marks on the greens were a problem and suggest the starter provide a tool to players to help remind them to keep the course in great shape for the next group.

Excellent Course and Condition

The conditions of the course were excellent! The course was challenging and fun to play. We had a great time!! My only issue was in transition from one hole to the next, signage was scarce to guide the way. We managed to bumble our way to each hole. For a first time visit, that was a minor inconvenience; we will return!!

Hawks Eye

Course was in good shape, everyone was friendly, polite and enthusiastic. We played it during a dry season in early August, the greens seemed a little sparse , maybe they recently aerated and sanded, my biggest concern was the rocks in the traps. Maybe I was in them a lot but the size of some of the stones was scary. Overall a good value.

Hawk’s Eye

Play this course a lot. We were a twosome behind 2 foursomes which held everyone up. Gets frustrating when people forget golf etiquette!

Summer outing

Enjoyed the course on a perfect summer day. Prices for food were high at the clubhouse. Disappointed in that, but the golf was good.

Best shape in years!!

Shanty Creek's purchase of Hawk's Eye the grounds keeping and overall conditioning have improved significantly. Best I've seen in several years and I've been playing this course since in opened at least every other year. You do have to play here a couple of times to score on it....it's tricked up/tight in some areas and there are some sneaky elevation changes/blind shots where it's difficult to know how much to club up or club down. Do not get let your ball get above the hole.....without course knowledge that's difficult for first timers. This is now Shanty's second best course adjacent to Cedar River. 4.25 stars. Highly recommended.

Wish This Course Was In My Home State

As a first time visitor from Florida I did quite a bit of research to find a course near my location and within my $ zone. So glad we played Hawk's Eye. Staff was great and course was in excellent shape. Quite different from our Fla. courses lots of undulation and different variety of holes. You can lose some balls here but the challenge and beauty of the course made our round well worth while. Took plenty of video to show the folks at home and we highly recommend this course to all. Thank you to all involved.
