Terrific Course
Doesn't Play as long as yardage because of mostly elevated tees. Absolutely a beauty !!
totally enjoyed playing
We played this course on our 52nd wedding anniversary Aug. 12, 2017 and again Aug. 16,2017.
we thoroughly enjoyed both days. Everyone from check in to finish was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back. Good value for the money.
The course is Great. But the rain was horrible.
We would've loved to play 18 holes for which I paid for but wasn't able to due to rain. We played 9 holes & became very wet & hoping the rain would let up so we could play the final 9. The rain continued at a much more down pour then we started our golf game.
Lots of fun!
We played this course in a constant rain and had a great time! It had been raining for 24 hours before we played but course drained very well, we were able to drive carts everywhere, and geeens were excellent! Great Weiakopf layout and incredible views and topography! Play this course!
Great Course to Play
We loved playing this course, also wished that the weather was better. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to play around and between storms. We all agreed to play it again when the weather is better.
Overbooked & mediocre conditions
The course was way overbooked, at least 4 carts waiting on each tee box through the round. We played a 3 hour front nine and a 2 and a half hour back. Way too slow pace of play! Conditions were below average. The rough was patchy and weird grass conditions. Don't recommend playing over 20$ for 18.
Nice Challenging and Scenic Course
Conditions were great, pace of play excellent and certainly a gem of a course. Elevation changes in the course are significant so be prepared to use an extra club on many holes.
Fun course poor conditions
Fun course, poor conditions. The rough conditions were very disappointing, lots of dirt at patchy grass. Sand traps were full of rocks so avoid traps. Pace of play was slow and backed up. I wouldn't recommend paying over 25$ for 18.
Course has maintained grass
If you can't hit a draw, I would not recommend this course. A lot of dog leg lefts! Overall gorgeous course!
Good Round
Greens were fast, but true, and they held. Bunkers have a lot of rocks, and some are poorly designed so that the ball rolls down against the lip. It is a good idea not to hit into them.
Fun
Fantastic fairways and greens , play was a little slow but worth it.
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.
