Hole 1 Photo submitted by mjbrady on 05/25/2013
Beautiful Layout, well maintained, friendly staff.
Beautiful golf course layout and condition with generous fairways and greens. Near Shanty Creek Resort.
very nice course playable for the novice as well as experienced golfer.
Nice maintained course, staff were friendly, no problems with reservation and started on time, playable for the novice golfer as well as experienced golfer, Had difficulty finding the course as GPS sent me to the main lodge instead of to the course. Only problem was no cart lady on course and temp was in the 90's the day we golfed, water on the course helped. Able to call in order at the turn but was backed up due to large group in front of us. Overall nice experience would recommend to a friend.
challenging
We enjoyed playing! The course was in tlp-top shape. Every hole offered another challenge. Lots of elevation changes throughout the course.
We wll be playing again in the future.
great course plays shorter than 6300.
course was in great shape and the staff was very helpful. There was a lot of play, but we moved right along.
Looking forward to playing this course again
Really enjoyed playing this course. Challenging, yet not too difficult. The course layout was very scenic in a wooded area with just enough bunkers and water to make you place your shots. I look forward to playing this course again.
Great Up North Course
I was impressed with the course and decided to play it in my quest to golf all 50 of the Michigan Digest Top 50 public courses in the state. It falls at #16 and seems about right given where others I've played are ranked. It feels like an up north course as it's mostly treelined, but plays slightly more forgiving than most up north courses. There are a couple holes with a river running through them (hence the name) and the sound alone from the tiny rapids makes the course memorable. Overall I give it an A-
Great course. Great value.
Excellent course. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all in great condition. Service was very friendly.
Great value through use of Golf Now. I felt like I was playing a great, top condition golf course for a bargain price!
Hawk's Eye GC is in great condition from tee boxes, to fairways, to greens. Only complaint would be that some holes need to provide first time golfers with info about blind shots or where they can drive through the fairway. Another issue is needing an additional club or two when going uphill. But various holes offer challenge and interesting layouts.
Very nice course
If you can get a discounted rate this course is very worth it. The greens were immaculate, very true. Very playable course and fair if you don't hit a perfect shot.
The staff was very friendly though I didn't see the beverage cart girl the entire back nine. Part of that may be due to pace of play being very quick.
Very challenging and nicely maintained
Legacy is an extremely challenging course that requires a tee shot in the fairways or prepare yourself for lost balls. The course was in excellent shape with very difficult greens. I think I will return when my game improves. Lost a few balls!
Fun, Fun, Fun
awesome course, great layout, fantastic price, what more can you ask for?
Don't let the price fool you.
Very difficult layout with many trees and twisting greens!
Great Course, Good Value
Seems like every hole is a dog leg left. Other than that, was very good and worth the money.
Wooded layout with large, fast greens
This course is a very nice break from some of the really high-priced resort courses. Playable yet challenging. Get to use of every club in the bag.
Add this one to your list to play
Very nice course the front 9 is a little flat and straight forward but wait to you get to the back!!! The layout changes drastically lots of nice elevation changes, dog legs, and it opens up a little more than the front. You got to play this one we did (27 holes).
Beautiful layout
This Weiskopf course is a player friendly layout. Very few blind shots - great look for tee shots and relatively wide fairways. Not a lot of rough though before the forest comes into play! I played 3 rounds in two days - no round was longer than 3.5 hours - and two rounds I played by myself were just over 2 hours each in length. Very friendly staff. I very much enjoyed my time here...so much that I forgo and opportunity to play the Legend course.
The course is very challenging due to all of the undulation and high rough.
The course was very scenic and undulating. It seemed like we were always hitting to uphill greens. When we didn't keep the ball on the fairways, we were heavily penalized with extra shots due to the exceptionally high rough. We forgot to ask if that's typical during the entire season. If you're not hitting the ball straight, your round will be very frustrating and your score will surely be higher than normal. If the rough isn't always that high, we would play here again.
Love this course
This is my favorite Michigan course. I play it every year. A challenging course that is still woman friendly.
This course is very nice
Could be nicer green to slow. The course could have more flowers
Good condition.
Thick lush rough.
Greens slow.
Staff very friendly.
