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

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.

Hawk

Course was in good shape. Friendly and courteous staff. Unfortunately it started raining and then thunderstorms after nine holes. We were given nine hole rain voucher. Sooty we couldn’t finish!

A great day at Shanty Creek’s best course

I have played all the Shanty Creek courses and continue to come back to Hawks Eye. Just one of my favorite Northern Michigan courses. Outstanding value and quality of golf.

AWESOME COURSE!

Hawk's Eye never disappoints. Good pace if play, very friendly staff and the beauty of the course is spectacular. The greens can be very deceiving but are fair. Enjoy a round, you won't be disappointed.

Good challenge

The good challenges brought in slow play. Finished first nine, we played the back first, in well under 2 hours. There was nobody in front of us. When we hit the front nine to finish, the brakes went on. Ended up leaving after 13 holes. As we headed to the clubhouse, every hole from 14 on was stacked up.
Good conditions otherwise.

Golf review

The course was in good shape. The only complaint I have was that they did not honor a free round of golf that I received from Hawk’s Eye. Coupon had no expiration date but they said there was a new owners and they would not honor the coupon.

Integrated shaping

The dynamic created in fairways and approaches by the contours, shaping and park like elements play well in achieving the green. Some blue tee-boxes can drive 300+ yards when struck in the sweet spot, thanks to downhill mounds and kick bonuses found in landing areas. Well played Hawks Eye 🦅
