Welcome to Hawks Eye

Hawks Eye Golf Course is a beautiful, public championship golf course that is the centerpiece of the

Hawk’s Eye Golf Community in Bellaire, Michigan. Open since 2004, this John Robinson design has

matured into a layout that caters to all types of golfer.

From the tips, the course demands you bring your ‘A-game,’ as position is premium if you hope to score

well. There are some forced carries, especially on the back nine, that will put length and accuracy to the

test.

Standard tees offer a challeng as good as any in the golfing Mecca that is northern Michigan. It would

be wise to study up on course

management as you plan your

strategy against the elusive par.

The course will test your abilities

while at the same time offer you

design elements and vistas that

will take your breath away. Have

your camera ready.

Forward tees offer the opportunity

to skirt around some of the more

troubling hazards and obstacles,

making Hawk’s Eye Golf Course a

fun round of golf without high

intensity shotmaking pressure.

Look for our Junior Forward Tee

program coming in the

2015 season.

No matter your ability,

once you have played

Hawk’s Eye Golf Course,

you will want to

experience it again and

again. The challenge, the

beauty, and the sheer

enjoyment of a round at

Hawk’s Eye Golf Course

makes this resort a must

for your golfing bucket

list.

A commanding dog leg left with a large pond

as the focal point of this opening hole. Big

hitters will challenge the 260-yard watery

carry and shoot straight over the pond.

Successful shots will be re-warded with

only 100 yards left to reach the large,

undulating green. Game managers will take

what the hole gives them and stay right of

the pond, but will face a 185 yard uphill shot

into the green.

A huge landing area awaits the biggest tee

shot you can muster, after that it’s all

placement as you are confronted with water

right, trees left, and bunkers guarding the

tight landing area. The tiny, guarded green

awaits your dart-like approach shot. The

relatively flat putting surface leaves very

little room for errant shots or those that

come in too hot. Better bring your short

game.

The huge, receptive green awaits your well-

struck tee shot. Problem is, number 3 defies

you to be accurate. Sand left, sand right, and

water attracting even the slightest fade not

long enough leaves you with only one last

choice – aim left of center to take advantage

of the fairway turf if you mis-hit. Hopefully

the bounce goes your way.

Number 4 is waiting patiently for your par.

Straight away, big landing area off the tee,

and an uphill approach to a large green can

all play in your favor. Just be sure to know

your pin placement for the day as club

selection is key and knowing exactly what’s

between you and the flag can make the

difference between a friendly par and an

elusive one.

Par 4

Now the fun begins. To succeed on

Number 5 we recommend your drive be

straight, true, and LONG to reach the

upper shelf of this guarded fairway. Do

this, and the battle is half done as your

second shot is to a treacherous three-

tiered green that is perched atop a

plateau that falls off on 3 sides. Miss

right if you miss, as the abyss behind

and left will have you chipping for par.

Par 4

After reaching the apex of the front it’s

time to head back down the mountain.

Number 6 starts with a simple,

straightforward, slightly downhill tee

shot to the end of the fairway. From

this point, the 100-yard, 25-foot

elevation drop to the 2-tiered green

will make or break you. I hope for your

sake the pin is top left today.

Par 4


Blue White Gold Red

547 513 479 416

Luckily for us there is a nice, flat ridge

that runs the length of Number 7. On

top of this ridge is the fairway that

meanders down to a huge oval

relatively flat green. But your luck will

run out if you stray from the ridge.

Spray your shot right and your uneven

lie may send your ball to a watery

grave. Go left, and who knows what’s

lurking down there. Be careful.

Standing on the tee at Number 8 you

can breathe a sigh of relief. The

fairway ahead awaits your shot with no

tricks or hidden agendas, and even

extra room for forward roll. Once again

know your pin placements well, as your

uphill approach can be a couple clubs

either way depending. Leave it short,

and it may just come back to meet you.

Par 4

What could be easier than a level 150-

ish yard shot to a deep flat green? Yes

you might have to carry some water,

and yes there might be some sand

involved, and yes you might be just a

few minutes from a chilled beverage

and some nourishment, but it’s just a

simple shot. Right?

Par 4

Refreshed and ready to take on the

second half of your round, a well struck

tee shot on 10 should enjoy a few extra

yards on the generous fairway that

slopes away from you toward the

green. It’s the flight of your downhill

approach shot that will have you on

edge, depending on whether today’s pin

placement is friendly, or ferocious.

Par 4

Nestled in the trees lies the 11th.

Precision is your only option here in

your quest for par. Land on the putting

‘nest’ and you’re good to go. But this

nest is well guarded – an all-water

carry, sand, and a steep sloping front

help keep the less-than-precise

intruders away. Good luck.

Par 3


Blue White Gold Red

448 365 353 305

The narrow strip of fairway is nestled

at the base of the incoming slopes on

both sides of Number 12. If you can hit

a controlled driver it’s your best bet,

leaving you a short approach to the

green that angles away – just beware

the huge bunker that beckons off-line

shots. You can hold back and play a

longer approach, but this will leave you

with a daunting club choice depending

on today’s pin. Your decision.

Par 4


Blue White Gold Red

182 168 130 113

There’s nothing quite as majestic as

watching the flight of a well struck

golf shot. Number 13 provides you

with this opportunity x2 thanks to

80 feet of elevation difference

between tee and green. Your tee

shot will soar for twice as long on

its’ way to the dance floor. Question

is: Will you pick the right club?

Par 3


Blue White Gold Red

378 337 309 270

Cutting corners doesn’t always pay off.

The dogleg-left 14th tempts you to

gamble with the corner for an easier

approach to the clover-shaped, tiny,

and treacherous plateau that

masquerades as a green. Mis-hit this

gamble and you either face a long,

uphill bunker shot, or a wild uneven

approach from the tall grass. But if you

decide to play it safe and stay out to

the open fairway on the right, well, re-

read the part about the green …

Par 4


Blue White Gold Red

527 473 459 373

From the tee on 15, there is nothing

between you and the fairway – and

that’s the problem. You’ll need to carry

a lot of nothing to make the fairway.

Then, faced with an uphill second shot,

you need to carry the intimidating

crossing bunker ahead on the horizon.

Once these two hurdles have been

conquered, it’s only a short iron to the

relatively flat putting surface. You only

need to be aware of the two large sand

bunkers, grass bunkers, and large

mounds guarding the angled approach.

Par 5


Blue White Gold Red

366 306 271 252

The flat, inviting fairway of Number

16, combined with the lack of length of

this hole, entice you switch to attack

mode. A great drive gives you an

excellent opportunity for birdie here

and a chance to make up some ground.

Spray your tee shot in either direction,

however, and retreat might be a better

idea. A less than ideal angle into this

two-tiered green might have you

hoisting the white flag.

Par 4


Blue White Gold Red

607 577 453 394

Every once in a while you come across a golf

hole that makes you stop in your tracks and

take a moment to appreciate everything that

makes golf great. Number 17 is just such a

hole. From the tee you can’t really see the epic

vista that awaits. Once you crest the ridge it

becomes crystal clear. After you catch your

breath, you’ve got a ton of work ahead. There’s

lots of fairway room for your second shot, but

lots of tall grass and water between you and

the sloping away three-tiered green. Enjoy!

Par 5


Blue White Gold Red

391 354 325 311

Heading in, the 18th couldn’t be any more

of a beautiful way to finish. Aim for the

last bunker on the hill and your tee shot

will be safely in position. As you address

your approach, imagine a huge gallery

on the stadium hill behind the green and

on the balconies of the clubhouse. An

easy approach to a welcoming green.

Imagine the roar of the crowd as you

stick it close. Welcome home.
