Reviews
Worth playing multiple times
I really enjoyed the layout and conditions of this course. Fairways give you plenty of room and if you miss there is room in the rough before you get into major trouble The greens rolled great and the course itself was well maintained. I would def recommend this course if you are in the area.
Saturday afternoon
Course was in very good condition. Round went smoothly and it was a beautiful day at Shanty Creek!
Cedar River Bellaire Michigan
One of the most beautiful courses I have ever played! If you want a spectacular course to play in Northwestern Michigan this summer or fall choose this course you will not be disappointed.
Do not play on a Saturday
Like they say in the movies, rack them and stack them.
5 1/2 hour round of golf is far too long. Simply you cannot get into any golfing rhythm and too top it off the marshall come along and asks to play faster.
How can you when you too groups waiting at a tee off box waiting to play, that was an insult to injury.
This was just shameful as the course is tour quality with great elevation changes with greens to match
I will play this course again but not on a week end.
Golf Outing
It rained hard the day before our tee time, but course was in great shape. Course wad booked heavy but pace was good.
Love this course!
Incredible course and at a great value! Hawk's Eye is one of the most challenging and visually appealing courses in Northern Michigan!! In my opinion, it's a MUST play when you are in the area. Better than the Legend and many of the other courses in the area. Absolutely the best value as well.
This was a great course to play. I read many reviews about Hawk's Eye and they did not disappoint. I kept figuring that was going to be something wrong with this course but how cheap it was to play, The course had a great layout with some very pretty holes too, #17 was my favorite. It was one of the most difficult tracks that I have ever played. The greens were the fastest I had played all year. I enjoyed the challenge and this is a must play for any golf enthusiast.
Beautiful course; slow play
Hawks Eye is stunning to look at, especially the back 9. It is nestled in the woods, has challenging elevation changes, and water comes into play on many holes. Unfortunately, I had a lot of time to view the scenery, because the foursomes ahead of us were so slow. Our round took 5+ hours, which is not conducive to good golf. Where is a ranger when you need one? Still, I would go back because it is fun to play. By the way, there are senior tees, which makes the course more enjoyable for a banjo hitter like me.
One of our favorites in N. MI
Except for requiring 5 hours to play, all was very good as usual. We are always very pleased with this track.
Fun to play
Great shape and offers varying levels of difficulty!
A must play
Outstanding in all respects: course layout; tees, fairways and greens; variations in elevation; difficulty level; pace of play; you name it.... Eager to replay and we will soon.
Excellent Course!
Played on a Sunday afternoon during the holiday weekend. Extremely busy! Got behind a group of seven with three young kids. After the first hole, they split in to two groups. We got behind a dad and two young daughters, one who apparently had never played before. Couldn't pass them as the rest of the holes were backed up also. Fortunately they didn't go the back nine. Breezed through the back nine with no issues. Excellent course, not top-tier, but a fun course for hackers and families. Will definitely go back again.
Don't bother
Played many fine courses in this neck of the woods, unfortunately decided to give this one a try. Definitely a tier 3 level course. Scruffy areas leaving the tee boxes, no hole-long cart paths, greens surprisingly OK, several parallel holes a safety hazard. If you like scenic as we do, this isn't even close. Not worth the low price. Spend more and do The Legends, if they resume cutting the rough to a playable height..
great layout
If you like mountain golf, this course is the best value in N Michigan at the price.
