Great course, pace of play too slow

First time playing the course, it was in great condition, fair fairways and greens. My only complaint was the pace of play. I can’t stand 5 hour rounds of golf but that seems to be the norm in Northern Michigan. I would definitely play here again though.

Undulating Greens

This is a beautiful golf course but somewhat challenging. The rough is VERY rough. It's easy to lose your ball. The fairways are well-groomed. The greens are mostly undulating, and putting isn't easy. The weather was somewhat rainy, and the fairways were slushy in places. The carts had no cover in the back. I was glad to have finished playing the 18 just before the thunderstorms hit.

Great course and clubhouse

Beautiful course that is in excellent condition. Staff was nice and round comes with range balls. The club house is stunning and is on a bluff looking over 18th. Only complaint is pace of play but course was busy so it is expected.

Excellent Layout/Shaky customer service

My son came in from Texas for a few days and brought the hot weather with him. The hot, humid weather made it hard to enjoy our round, we only played 9 holes (though paying for 18). The course layout is very nice with lots of elevation changes, water hazards and ample fairways. On a cooler day we would have had a better time. Our round was marred by a couple of customer service glitches. There were no range balls at the driving range and when we went back to the clubhouse there were no balls available there either. Our cart was not fully charged and struggled to get us up inclines. When we went to the clubhouse to get a cold beverage with ice after making the turn, we found the restaurant closed. It was 4 pm. Since we couldn't rest up and refresh ourselves at that point, we decided to throw in t he towel.

Great design

Love the layout, will play again and know what to do. You don’t need driver that often, but can hit it if you like. Several blind tee shots so take time to look at the hole in front of you. Greens very slow but true. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the views.

Great course

Try to play Hawk’s Eye when ever we are in Bellaire. The course offers a fair test from all tee boxes. I am now 70 years old and play from the gold tees. I had a ball. My wife enjoyed her round from the reds. The course is in excellent condition. We will be back.

It was about 45 minutes from Traverse City, but we’ll worth the drive. Probably the best layout I have played in the area and I have played them all. And the course was kept in impeccable shape.

We picked a nice warm morning to play. Course was in great condition for all the rain we've received lately. Fairways were in good condition as well as the greens. We did get wet before the round was over - very wet - but it was a warm rain. This is a nice looking course.
