Great course. Great people. In terrific shape. Greens always run true and fairways are pure.

This is really a hidden gem more in the shadow of the Lake Shore resort courses such as the Gailes…read more Red Hawk is an Arthur Hills Design. Normally, I don't go nuts over course architects, but AH courses have a special flavor that I really like. For one, he lays out holes so that beginners can play them as well as making them challenging enough for better players. He does this by minimizing forced carries (only two here from the red tees, each under 100 yards), and by allowing most shots to be rolled up to the green. He also does things such on #12. Playing 179 from the tips, all carry over water, he has a closely mown area over the green. So you can use enough club, and if you go too far, you're not overtly penalized for it. Red Hawk has fairly generous landing areas, big bunkers, and some elevation changes. It's beautiful to look at, and almost all holes have their own identity. When you drive up to #3, you'll think you were playing Tree Tops, with about a 50 foot drop (according to google earth!). Our service at the course was terrific. The girl friend and I went up to play on a Friday at 3:20, which is twilight. While we were warming up on the range, the starter actually came out to inform us that if we would like, we could tee off about 25 minutes early ahead of a group of 8. We got up there before they came, and it probably saved 1.25 hours off our tee time. The other plus is that Red Hawk has electric carts. I *hate* gas carts. I was peace and quiet on the golf course, and electric does that for you. The last thing you want to experience is the roar of an engine echoing throughout the trees (and it does echo here!). Don't pass up a chance to play this course if you're in the area.

TL/DR: Challenging beautiful course that is under-maintained from its original days -- but still…read moreperhaps inappropriately premium priced. Bring bug spray! This is an interesting and challenging golf course. I have played it several times since it opened ~25 years ago. Beautiful scenery, cut through the woods with some relatively playable holes, some target golf, and some links style holes. Carts mandatory -- this is not a course to even try to walk. Found the staff at the shop to be super friendly. BRING BUG SPRAY -- especially if you are playing in the early morning before the wind picks up. The woods are pretty generous in their donations of all manner of flying critters, and if it's calm they tend to swarm. It saddens me to say that the maintenance of the course appears to have fallen off since we last played. Several tee boxes were shoddy and a few were obviously unmowed, fairways were in rough shape in some places, bunkers weren't dragged in the morning so they were full of footprints and hard pack wet and difficult to play, and greens pockmarked with all manner of unrepaired ball marks. The last two are signs of inexperienced (or rude) golfers who aren't cleaning up after themselves...but for $90+ per round I'd hope that the crew would take better care of the course. Having played most of the nearby courses, I'd say that Red Hawk is absolutely worth playing at least once...and offer my hope that they keep the course in better shape. This course, bunkers, and greens were disappointing this time around...and there are a few other very nice and more attractively priced rounds of golf within a 30 minutes drive of East Tawas.
