About The Chief
The Chief is one of three golf resorts within close proximity of one another in Bellaire - Hawk's Eye Golf Resort and Shanty Creek Resorts the others. It offers several accommodation choices. The golf cottages along the fifth fairway are executive quality with upper and lower units. Each one sleeps eight (four double beds total) with a kitchen and living space. The five-bedroom Valley View home is located across the street from the course. A four-bedroom cabin called "The Roost" sits on the 18th fairway close to the Pelican's Nest restaurant. For all three options, passes to the Shanty Creek Resorts pool facility are included. The Blue Pelican Inn & Restaurant, run by the same owners, is roughly 10 miles away in Central Lake.Facts

Great course
I played this course a few times last season and it is just as nice as it was last year, layout is something I’ve never seen before on a golf course as far as all the ups and downs of the holes but overall I love this course.
One of the best in Bellaire
Played it twice this week. First time for my brother in law who was very impressed. It’s very steep on cart part so be careful. Trees were turning which made the view’s outstanding. Greens are very fast. Love it
The Chief
The Chief is a beautiful, challenging, scenic up north course!!
I would definitely recommend this course and look foreword to returning to play it again!!!!
The Chief and The Nest
My wife and I had drinks and a pizza at The Nest before our round. Both were delicious. The course was in great shape and had a lot of dog legs. You can’t beat up north courses for their natural beauty and The Chief is one of the best. The staff were courteous and friendly. Live music at The Nest afterwards capped it all off. We loved it!
Course was great shape. Greens rolled great. Very scenic!
Funky course. You’ll love the challenge
This course was something I haven’t played before. Being a Bermuda guy down in FL this was an experience.
The course is tricky. It was in pretty good shape though. No Bev cart was kind of a bummer though.
Make sure you pack extra balls when you play here for the first time.
The course was challenging and well maintained.
The Chief was a good course and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant called The Nest was phenomenal. We stayed at Shanty Creek and ate their three different times. The food and staff were great all three times.
New
Great new club house, well manicured and friendly staff. Will play again.
Not what I expected
A lot of target golf because of blind shots. Bunkers were unplayable
Not worth full price but if you get it a discount then it’s fair. Greens ,fairways and green were fine but disappointing were the bunkers for what is supposed to be a luxury course.
