They're working very hard to get the course up to their standards after taking over in 2021. Stop in and support these great people. Pizza is delicious and prices can't be beat. If you're not a cheese person order light cheese! They load it up! Wish I took a picture of the pizza but I did get a cheese bread to go which was also delicious. Thank you for a great experience Pine River Golf Club.

This is a beautiful golf course in the heart of upper mid-Michigan. It's one of two courses (the…read moreother being The Dream) owned by what seems like two brothers. Driving into the course you are met by a very professional and classy sign denoting the golf course by name. A long, winding and picturesque drive eventually gets you to the pro shop. Let's get to the good stuff right away.... PROS: -staff is superb, friendly, professional and always smiling. -range balls are free with the purchase of your round. -the horticulture around the course is well maintained and very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. -definitely a challenging course for players of all skill levels -lightning fast greens -turf was very well-maintained and in great shape. -BYOB! They don't have a liquor license so bring your own and save! They have all the ice you need and coolers on the carts. -plenty of water stations on the course -off the tee most fairways are wide open and allow for those who may not hit the straight ball each time to still make a second shot. - greens fees include cart CONS: -a bit in the pricey side for a golf course near West Branch MI. $80 is a bit much. -under-rated by the PGA. 130 slope from the whites is not accurate. In my opinion, it plays more like 135-136 -some very large greens. There are times that you're so far away from the flag you wonder if the flat stick is enough. -lightning fast greens. (I do mean LIGHTNING!) -very challenging course for more novice players

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.
