Reviews
Top-Notch Conditions, Tricked up Layout
Paid $22.50 for 18/cart as part of their 2-For-1 Wednesday deal, no complaints there. Tee to Green is meticulously maintained and putts roll smooth and true everytime. The layout is gorgeous, elevation changes throughout, and surprises await at every tee box.
My only complaints are the green complexes can be a bit Tricked up, with massive mounding, and what appears to be elephants buried under a few of the greens. Also, many of the sand bunkers sit many of feet below the green surfaces. Also, the lack of Red, White, and Blue yardage posts was my biggest gripe, sometimes searching frantically through the fairway for yardage got to be a nuisance.
ALL and all, its extremely challenging and a great value.
Nice layout and in good shape.
Played for third straight year.Greens rollef well as did fairways.Coursr has nice views and elevation changes. GO play but do not use Golf Now mapping directions.
Hawks eye cc
Took almost 6 hours to play. Way too slow to enjoy rather good course.
Excellent experience!
Had a great time playing this course, and the layout was amazing. The course was in great condition and the greens played pretty fast. I recommend it to anyone with any handicap, well worth the money. I will definitely be back again.
Northern Michigan Must!
Challenging course with an awesome layout. We played our entire round without seeing or hearing any other golfers.
Great Day for Golf
Spring course conditions were very good. Green really nice for beginning of season.
Will visit time and time again.
I picked Hawk's Eye as a last minute/play on the way home venue for our year end golf trip. Now I find myself planning our 2017 trip around playing this course again! Each person in our 12 player group thought it was the best course we played all weekend (and we played The Legend just two days before!). Was a wet morning with a little drizzle at the beginning of play but we stuck it out and the course held up nicely.
A "must see" course in Northern Michigan.
Hawk's eye is one of my favorite courses in Michigan. Every year, my golf league takes an up north golf trip and this is a course we always make sure to play!
The layout of this course is spectacular that is surrounded by beautiful scenery on every hole. Expect visually appealing, dramatic elevation changes that will test all of your skills. Once on the putting green, be careful not to three putt, because Hawk's eye's greens are perfectly maintained and lightning quick.
Check out Golfnow to see if Hawk's eye is offering any Hot Deals. Chances are, you can get a round of golf on a amazing course relatively cheaply.
OFF-Season play was perfect
Nothing fancy here, you get what you see. The front 9 moves along the gently rolling terrain with no real significant elevation changes. Alot of doglegs, nestled between the Michigan hardwoods and pines.
The Back 9 really speeds up with a short par 4 and then much more seclusion to follow with scenic lookouts and drastic elevation change. For the month of May conditions were excellent. Fairways were mighty green and the greens were luscious, as if it were July. If you want a more challenging layout, head over to The Legend or Cedar River, but this course will definitely make you feel good.
Cedar River is a MUST PLAY
Played C.R. as a replay to The Legend, which I had played earlier that morning. I didn't think this course would top the Legend, but I was wrong. Although I enjoyed the layout better at Legend, I was no disappointed at CR.
Every hole is cut from the deep forests of Northern Michigan. WIDE Fairways, and tough green complexes. Some raised, but all guarded by huge bunkers. Some forced carries off the tee, but overall very playable and I still can't get over how well it was maintained for mid October.
Great value - played 36 holes for $85 that day and can't wait to return. I was thrilled to shoot in the 70s on both courses as I was challenged immensely. Shanty creek - You're doing alot of things right up there!!!
Northern Michigan at its Finest
My first round at the Legend was an enjoyable one. I was absolutely astounded at the elevation changes and overall course conditions - pristine and manicured perfectly. Given the month of October, there was nobody else on the entire course. Fairly wide fairways and challenging, yet extremely playable greens. This is in my Top 3 favorite Michigan courses, and I've played many.
Wonderful Greens!
We had heavy mist in the morning for about 8 holes. The course was well maintained and the greens were impeccable! Couldn't hardly find a ball mark on them and they rolled beautifully and true even wet. They were pretty fast for a moist day. A real treat. They are going to close the course on the following Sunday and it was still in such wonderful shape! There were only 2 twosomes on the course that day. It was great. They only had the proshop open, no drinks or food available since closing in 5 days.
Perfect
Course was in the best shape it's been in all year. Had the entire 18 to my self. Love playing here!
Awesome
Best course there is! Everyone need to play it!
Tough course
Course was soft in mushy in spots. Excellent green conditions. Nice northern Mi experience.
Very enjoyable round of golf
Couldn't complain about a single thing. Perfect day on a beautiful golf course in perfect condition.
Very Nice Course
Great layout with some real challenging holes....lots of uphill shots to the greens....often requiring 1 or 2 clubs extra. Played long after recent rain. Surfaces.....tees and fairways were excellent; greens rolled true and VERY FAST....but with heavy play, numerous ball marks that hadn't been repaired. Great price with a "Hot Deal" on GolfNow.com.
Great Course-Great Price
Awesome course that will challenge any player. Wide range of tees from which to play...and course played long with the damp (following a rain) fairways. All surfaces were in superb condition...the best of all the courses we played in the Shanty Creek area. Pace of play was outstanding.....we owned it for the most part...and we got a great deal on a "Hot Deal" at GolfNow.com.....35 smackers.
