Great value! Diamond in the rough in NW Michigan

Hawk's Eye is a tremendous value in NW Michigan. Always in great condition, especially this year with all the rain we've had. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Pace of play is never an issue. Highly recommend playing this course if you get the chance!

Always a great time

With all the rain this year, the grass is green and lush, but the fairways had plenty of roll. Greens were immaculate. Will be back.

Enjoyable course

Challenging design and well taken care of. Ranger was kind to keep me satisfied with some that were slower. I have played here 4 or 5 times and it is my favorite course in the area for my Michigan vacations.

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!
