Shanty Creek

We played this course the first year it opened and the club house was a trailer. This course has matured wonderfully and we enjoy getting back to play once a year!

Overall a great round with a few exceptional holes. One par three on the back nine offers a real challenge for the first tuner. Fairways are generous for the most part. A “must play’ for the area. You decide after playing them all...

I have played several courses up North, including Tree Tops, Tulkymore, “The Legend”, i.e. and for an up north course I think for the cost and value Hawks Eye is just as beautiful and challenging as many of the aforementioned courses. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, but save your energy it’s a very long course that ends with 2 par 5’s and a par 4

Don’t play Saturdays! 2:30 for front 9. Then 5 groups stacked at 10th tee. Tee times 7 minutes apart; too tight. No Marshall. Staff gave us a rain check when we quit at 10th. Great course. Bad timing.

While visiting northern Michigan, we try to play one "special" course. We have played Treetops, The Donald Ross Memorial, and The Monument. Hawk's Eye was equally fun to play as these courses. It is challenging and beautiful. We loved the changes in elevation. We will look forward to playing it again in the near future.

This is a great golf course. Fun layout, challenging holes. The day we played it, the hole locations made it very very challenging. The course seems to have lapsed in condition. We have played it the last 5 years and this was the worst we have seen it. The greens were very nice, the tees were ok but the general condition of the fairways and rough were not up to the usual here.

Nice wide fairways. Greens rolled fast and true. Will be coming back!

Course was in excellent condition, given all of the hot weather we've had, and the number of golfers that come through. Fairways are great, greens were great! Staff is wonderful! Always enjoy golfing here!

Started out fine but the 3 some in front of us caused a lot of frustration. They had no idea about golf etiquette. Guy parked his cart on one side of fairway, walk across fairway to hit his ball and then walked back to his cart. I forgot to mention he walked like a walk in the park. We were a 2 some, you think they would ask us if we wanted to play ahead-no. This happens so I guess you have to let it go. Btw-I think the ranger was a friend of theirs. He talked to them 2-3 times for about 6 mins which means more waiting! We like the course so we will play there again. I have seen the course in better condition than today, but they have been short of rain.

Course in excellent condition and the greens were outstanding; i.e., among the best we have ever played: fast but not overly, and very true. Although we played as a twosome in less than four hours, we were behind a fivesome that bogged down toward the end. Nonetheless, it was a most enjoyable golfing experience and we shall return.

Still a decent track, but many areas suffering from lack of water with some areas completely burned out brown and cracked. Also many bunkers lacking maintenance and becoming overgrown with weeds. Staff was great, course is suffering from maintenance issues.

Nice layout but a few bad/severe green complexes. Lots of severely burned out areas including on the greens.

A favorite during our summer vacation here, did not disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyable.

If it weren’t for the ranger giving us a “pace of play” lecture before our round, this would be a 10/10 course.

Nobody on the course on a beautiful Friday morning and the starter felt the need to lecture us on keeping each hole to ~15 minutes.

Before we even teed off:

“I’m sure you don’t care how long it takes you to play your round, but the people behind you do”

WONDERFUL layout, fast greens that roll true, and receptive to long irons. Scoreable course, pretty wide fairways. Nice par 3s!

Get rid of the starter and this would’ve been a 10/10!!
