Excellent Spring Golf Experience
Range was closed, but nice chipping and putting area. Carts were new and smooth, the course was in very good condition, including the huge greens. Busy with lots of players, but the pace of play was fine and well supervised. Tee signage directions were great and necessary. Beautiful views on a fine spring day! Challenging but fun, used every club in the bag.
Great course, especially in the fall.
One of my favorite courses.
My wife I just played it (first of October) and we loved it.
The course is set up so that most of the holes play down hill, which is great for the average guy trying to break 90. Every hole is cut out of the trees but the fairways are wide enough to hit on a regular basis. I will play there again soon.
Ranger sucks
Cool course, about a worth the $65 I paid for it in the fall. 100% not worth what they’re charging in the summer. We were harassed by the ranger on the front nine for no reason. I would not recommend this course to anyone
Nice course / facilities need updates
We loved the course and the greens were in excellent shape. The club house is dated and cart paths are in disrepair, but playing the course was worth it.
This is one of the best courses in Northern Michigan.
We have played Cedar River at different times throughout the years and it is always in pristine shape. The course is great for players of all levels. Most favorite of all is the beautiful scenery.
Spectacular resort course
Decided to play this course at last minute while in the gaylord area.Golf now had a hotdeal midday on a sunday.Arrived about an hour and a half early after a 4 hour car ride to get there.Check in staff saw it was my wife and I as a two some.They had a larger group heading out in about 20 minutes and they asked if we wanted to go out before them or wait.We said we would go...THANK YOU!! We took off and were behind a 3 some that were in no rush.Course pace is 15min per hole and we ended up right on that time when finished.Might have been 15 to 30 min faster if not for the slower group in front.But to be honest this course is a feast for the eyes!! Simply stunning...hole after hole.Overall conditions were excellent...only knock is that Sandrtraps were a bit rocky.A decent amount of small to med pebbles were my only negative on this course.Greens were undulating and quick...a real challenge but fun and fair.A course at this price level...90.00 ish on weekends or more could look to improve sand conditions.A 4.5 hour round goes by quick when you are playing a course that has a little of everything...including plenty of elevation changes to treat those who take on the challenge.Highly recommend.If you can get it booked under 75.00..don't think twice..less than stellar sand traps or notf
Great day of golf
Perfect weather. Greens immaculate as rest of course. Dry in mich but couldn’t tell it by schuss! Great day of golf with no pace problems on a weekend. … unlike chief last week. Great value at 60!
Greens and fairways good condition. Cart paths a rough ride.
Great Track
Love Hawks Eye and play here every year on our Bellaire vacation. Course was in great shape and it seemed like we had the course to ourselves.
Great course conditions
Very friendly staff, course is in great condition and beautiful scenery
Troubled Fairways
Many bad spots in the fairways so if you don’t mind moving you ball a foot or so you’ll enjoy your round. Pricing reflects the condition. Lot of elevation changes.
Great course but lots of soft, wet areas
Played this course a number of times. Great layout, great views. However a number of wet soft areas where carts and maintenance equipment made ruts.
Thank you for leaving a review of our golf course. We apologize for any negative experience you had with the ranger and appreciate your feedback.
