Northern Michigan
Always a joy when the summer comes to play at Hawkeye, love the layout.
Play it Again
Greens good, just a touch slow - heavy rain the day before.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Pete3922166. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Hawk's Eye Golf Resort thanks you!
Great layout
The course is on great condition and the layout is amazing. I was really enjoying a good time on the course
Your feedback is important to us, John9054818. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Hawk's Eye Golf Resort.
Hello, u207545642. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
Beautiful Course
We played on May 20 at 9:30 am and it was very cold and damp. We had the golf course to ourselves. Even though I had rained a lot the previous day the course was in great shape and the greens were faster than they looked. We are visiting the area from Seattle but if we come back we will probably play this course again.

Many things to do off the course. Bellaire is a great small town. The Legend is a great test for all skill levels.
MarkDpar
Enjoyed the whole day! A great course for all types of players.
Must Play
Don't pass up any chance to play this course. You'll not this challenge
Schuss Mountain
Wow! What an experience. Great, Great course. Played all over Northern Michigan and this was our favorite. Fairways, greens, and tee boxes all in excellent condition. Price was great and so was the pace of play. Have to do this course many times more
!
Whaling city country club
Staff rude, very unprofessional. Greens in poor condition. Golf elsewhere!
The Best at Shanty Creek
In my opinion, best course at Shanty Creek. Course conditions were perfect. Playable but challenging. My only complaint is hole #18. If you play take the time to drive up and look at the landing area. Otherwise you'll hit what you think is a perfect drive and end up messing up a nice round.
Poor customer service at Magnolia Landing
We made the turn during this 97 degree heat. We went into the snack bar area to get a drink and a quick sandwich. The bar person said that he did not think he could service us because we would lose our spot on the course. He went to check with the pro shop and they insisted that we go to the on course snack bar. We really just wanted to sit in the air conditioning and cool off. I gotta tell you that I have played hundreds of courses but NEVER have been turned away at the snack bar! I asked the pro shop person about this and he insisted that we could not have got a spot back on the golf course. We had NO ONE behind us all day! And even if we did, there was so few golfers in this heat, that there should not have been a problem continuing our round. I brought 5 other people with me. I am greatly disappointed that they would worry more about the pace of play then our health and safety!
Hawk
The grounds were in great shape! Some of the tee boxes were in horrible shape and not enough sand in the traps. Beautiful morning!
Great Value / Better Experience
The Summit course is a gem for the price. Out of the three courses at Shanty Creek this course is usually the lowest ranked, but in terms of value it may be the best. The greens roll as pure as some of the nicest courses in Northern, MI. Give it a shot next time you are in the area, you'll be surprised.
Great challanging course
Course in great shape. A challenge for a Floridian used to flat lands.
Beautiful course in a beautiful place
Hawk's Eye is a must-play when visiting Bellaire and Shanty Creek. It has its share of tough holes but nothing that would scare off golfers of any level of skill. The staff was super friendly, and it's so cool to sit out on the big deck watching golfers come up the holes in front of you.
Always love the course and staff
The layout and conditions are always too tier...the staff are great. Whenever we are in town we make sure to play the course.
Great Course and Resort
I booked a stay and play through Hawk's Eye for a group of 8. The entire process could not have been easier. Nick was great to work with from beginning to end.
We played Hawk's Eye, The Legend, and The Chief. Although our group enjoyed all 3, we agreed that Hawk's Eye was clearly the best. The layout is great and peaceful. We had rain off and on all weekend and the course was in excellent shape. If you are planning a golf trip to Bellaire, do not miss Hawk's Eye!
mcfennema, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Hawk's Eye Golf Resort.
