Unbelievable, I have never played a golf course that doesn't work with their PAYING customers!!! NEVER! This is an up north course that thinks they are Treetops .. lol... Even Treetops works with their paying customers. We have been coming here for years. WTH are they thinking? They must have more money than they no what to do with!

The Bootleegger Bar is such a fun spot on the property - really enjoyed having a drink out there! We stayed in their lodge. The accommodations were adequate, but in need of an update. It's a beautiful secluded property, and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again, but the lodge rooms need some "vision". The staff were very helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. The pro shop is great! Whoever does their buying is doing an amazing job!! :).

This weekend, I went skiing at two awesome ski resorts with my dad, named Treetops and Otsego Ski…read moreresort. Otsego was even funner than Treetops. It had a café, five individual lifts, plenty of fun trails and a massive terrain park. The café at Otsego was a very nice one, and had a large fire which was great to come into on a cold day. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be there for too long, and therefore couldn't see too many things that they served, but one thing I know was that the hot chocolate is great and the candy bars are delicious. The trails at Otsego were also great, but had a bit of a higher skill level. They had a few easy blues and greens, like Für Elise and Alan's alley for begenners, but no bunny hill, a load of blacks like waterfall and master's, two steep duo trails that me and my dad very much liked and even a few fun double blacks like Bob's Glade, a exciting and adrenaline-giving slope that emptied out into a easy green. The terrain park was also super fun, with gigantic jumps that sent me very high up into the air but no rails, which was ok but not as cool as it could be. The only rail I could find was a few rotten blocks of wood that someone had thrown together and then left to the power of the forest.

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.

We were going to stay in a single villa but when we got to it (which seemed like a quarter mile walking from the parking lot), we were very disappointed. The fact that it was rustic was okay but we had inquired if there was a table where we could play cards in the evening and were told "yes". Well, the table was a small coffee table. The biggest problem was the bathroom shower which had a lot of mold. I attempted to call the front desk to report it but neither one of the two phones in the villa worked so I used my cell. I took a photo of the mold and requested that we be moved to the lodge. They did honor our request and the room was small but okay. When checking out the person at the front desk said that they checked out the bathroom issue that I reported and tholught it was fine. I was furious because I had a photo to prove my point and didn't like the attitude. The restaurant has a breakfast buffet but we decided to order individually. The servers don't come to your table - you go to the bar and order and pay and then someone brings your order to you. Lunch and dinner which are mediocre are served by the staff. Honestly, they need to invest some money to make improvements in the accommodations. We loved the courses but won't be returning because there is no option to stay anywhere else in that area that is decent.

It always sucks. This last trip, on our second day, we left after taking almost 3 hours for 6 holes. A ranger actually came up to us and explained how 2 groups ahead of us they were taking way too long to find lost balls. Why the @#%&# would he not insist that they limit their search time? We left after just those 6 holes. I love the courses, but I doubt I will ever play there again. Even on "good" days it's nearly 6 hours for as round. What a shame. I'm sure as long as they fill their tee sheets, they will never have their rangers do anything to speed up pace of play.
