Hawk's Eye at Shanty Creek

Hawk's Eye has a great layout and is challenging. However, the course could be better maintained. The sand traps in particular need work as many of them have a multitude of rocks in them.

I've always lived this track, it's very player friendly, it's i
n tremendous shape, greens we're very receptive and rolled true although they weren't terribly fast. If you're in the area treat yourself to a round at Hawk's Eye, the elevation and views with the trees starting to turn, WOW!!!

Great course, too slow play and conditions a bit rough. Greens too tricked up.

Course Layout is great. Also great condition.
Only issue we slow play due to a very slow 4-some 3 groups ahead of us.

Played here multiple times before the course was acquired by Shanty / Schuss - we played 36 this day.

Fair but fun, the 17th par 5 is a real challenge.

Greens and fairways were great but the tee boxes were a bit overgrown and in need of some TLC.

Restaurant staff and beverage cart personnel were dealing with an out of service ice machine and had to wait on ice from the other courses created a bit of an issue with some players. Things like that can't be foreseen.

Course layout and condition was great. Tee boxes, fairway and greens well maintained. Clubhouse staff, and round starter were very congenial and cordial. Round started right on time.
Two issues with the round this day, the first being that the weather was quite warm mid- afternoon. Not being permitted to provide our own fluids on the course my group was contacted once by the beverage cart on the second hole. This didn't set well and on an above temperature day and dehydration began to set in during in the round.
Pace of play was also a bit slow ending the round @1/2 hour after the posted scheduled timeframe.

I summer nearby and play this course often. The layout is a little confusing with a lot of travel between holes. The elevation changes make the cart paths through the woods down right dangerous when wet. Be careful. One or two “gimmicky” holes do not overshadow this really enjoyable, deep in the woods course full of wildlife. GREAT value, very challenging & well kept. The #9 hole is my favorite in all of Michigan, one that every golfer should get to play. I always look forward to playing this quirky, likable, beautiful course. Nice people. Good hot dogs. Go play it.

First time playing and it’s not for the timid player! Course is in excellent shape but definitely a challenge and requires spot on tee shots and approaches to the greens! Pace was initially very slow but at the turn we were able to jump in front the threesome. We did not realize they had stopped for bathroom and food items so we asked if they were okay with our jump. Portapotties were clean! Definitely more than moderately difficult course but we had a great day!

Staff was excellent, course was awesome, Loved the rolling train, greens and tee boxes we're excellent, course was in nice shape even after couple days of rain.

Ever since shanty creek bought this course it has trippled in price, the staff & grounds people who are the best ever are treated horribly by management . Shanty creek has made this course all about just making $$. They could care less about the customers, the concerns from the home owners , staff & grounds crew. Every one is quitting because of this. "Steve" wants everything his way & only his way. Many home owners on all the 4 courses who are a main source of advertising for the courses & bring customers in have concerns about changes that make no sense & he doesn't care. Many more bad reviews for these courses are going to occur. There are so many other courses around the area that are as beautiful & costs are much cheaper. Just saying. We've lived here & been a member since 2007. We really miss the guy who ran this place before. He would be really disappointed of what this course has become & what shanty creek has done to the moral here.

This course never disappoints just the views alone is worth
