Nice Greens @ The Hawk

If it were for a couple of DbleBogies, I would have had a good scoring round. Greens rolling nicely, fairways actually soft to the point not much roll-out. Sand is thick & inconsistent, although I did have Sandy #3. We started out as 2some, thinking another Member would join us mid-round, so we were sandwiched in between a lot of mid-morning play. It was a pretty slow round, but still did not take away from a wonderful day in the October sunshine @ GreyHawk.

Good Day @ The Hawk

Greens are still great, not plugged yet. Course is firm, and fairways are rolling out; even after a thunderstorm during the night dumped some rain, no cart restrictions. Course was extremely crowded, and we waited about every hole from #7 on; but we still finished in little over 4hrs. The afternoon was so nice, and the course can be very challenging for us elders, so things can slow down on various holes. Played A-men corner in even (3putt Bogie #7, Birdie #9), but still splashed a ball #11 (Island Green). I'll be back on the Hawk soon.

WOW

The lady in the pro shop was very friendly and customer obsessed. The amenities were top notch, they had a great “club house dog!!”
The course layout was one of my favorites I’ve ever been around. Challenging as heck at times and just had a great feel all the way through. Greens rolled nice and you can just tell that it is well taken care of year round. Huge fan. Thanks guys!!

The Hawk is Challenging for Us Old Hacks

Crowded golf course on this Thursday morning --great weather, course in great condition, and no excuse ......... except for poor swings & poor putting. This is just such a fun course to play, but this day it was more like work for me. The restaurant is good, the ProShop very accommodating, and grounds crew visibly working hard to maintain course. The bunkers need a little work, although I can't complain with a couple of sand-saves, but some are more dirt than sand. Keep the ball outta water hazards & you'll do fine. I'll be back!

Beautiful!!

Played here on a Wednesday Morning and the lady inside was very nice and walked me through the layout of the course because it was my first time playing. The course was in great shape and there are some easier holes but several challenging ones. I will definitely be back to play this gem!

Let it Fly at The Hawk

First, I like how this review asks you to rate "Challenge of course" -- any course with water & sand will be challenging if you can't keep the ball out of those hazards. I can always take a bloodbath on #7 or 8 or 9 or 11 or 15 ........and this particular day was more about watching my buddies hit good shots & score in the 70's. The course is in great shape, the staff is friendly, and the beverages on the patio/deck are cold & necessary to forget a poor round of golf. I'll be back next week to redeem some confidence & hopefully score closer to my capabilities.

Hot Day @ The Hawk

GreyHawk still in nice shape, all things considered .....the weather has been tough on courses this Spring/Summer, as it goes from too much rain to a squelching hot 95* sun-baked day on this Friday. The challenges of the Course Super never ends ........but always have a good time at the Hawk. Certainly not necessarily a good score, but a bomb of a putt #18 for Birdie keeps the avid golfer coming back to the scene. This day should have been good for scoring --greens holding shots & putting smoothly (although they are freckled), no wind/breeze (unless you count sun-rays), cart-girl roaming the paths to quench a thirst, and a cool Hawk's Nest beverage to relax & continue the day.

Awesome Morning @ The Hawk

After a lot of rain here in Northern Ohio (for the past 4-5wks), GreyHawk is of course nice lush & green. The greens are awesome, holding incoming shots & quick smooth rolls (except with my jerky stroke). This morning, no wind, which takes the teeth outta-the-Hawk; it does still have plenty of water hazards (hard to tell whether it was fish jumpin' or my ball splashing). No roll-out in the fairways or bunny-hops onto greens, but I can't say enough good things about the course conditions. This is such a fun course to play, and GN provides very affordable rates. Hawk's Nest (restaurant) is doing fine, and patio drinks/dining is leisurely fun.
Repair your ball marks & keep the greens as awesome as I described here this morning.

Fun Day @ The Hawk

1st -while filling out this review, I have to say every course is "extremely challenging" because I'm "distance challenged." The course is in great shape, and will continue to get better once the weekly rainstorms subside. The greens are awesome, freckled with Poa but putting smooth & quick. This day the course was fairly crowded, with no open holes in front, but the pace was great --no complaints! The only thing to complain about is my tired old swing & shaky putting stroke. I hit a few good shots, GiR #11 (a rarity) & easy par #7, both of which are not stress-free holes. The 3putt DbleBogie #18 was not the ending I like to script, so we'll be back soon to reconcile.

Great course

Great greens, tough pins, a lot of water, relatively long course from the back couple tees. Nice restaurant to get a bite and beer after, free coffee is much appreciated.
