Bath, Michigan
Length: With 27 holes, mix and match 18-hole lengths range from championship tees of just under 7,000 yards, to forward tees at around 5,000 yards.
Most memorable: Water, water everywhere. Hawk Hollow has water on no less than 20 of the 27 holes, and while the wet stuff is not always significantly in play on all of them, the overall theme can intimidate some golfers. The nice mix of open fairways, tree-lined fairways and water hazards makes for a challenging round in a beautiful natural setting. 
Picture this: The stretch of holes 16-18 are arguably three of the more eye-catching, consecutive finishing holes in Michigan golf. Beautiful, yes, but they also have a lot of bite. Hole 16 is a hard dogleg right with a tee shot required to carry water, yet without going too far and going through the fairway and into the trees. Hole 17 is a treacherous par 3 that isn’t overly-long but the huge lake guarding the green on the right has sucked in more than its share of little white balls. The same lake guards the entire right side of the 18th fairway and requires a carry to reach the large green. Sitting on the clubhouse porch overlooking the water and golfers on 17 and 18 coming in behind your round is a very entertaining way to enjoy the “19th hole.”
Overview: Hawk Hollow and its sister courses offer everything golf related from beginner to championship play. Eagle Eye is well documented for its design and tournament quality. Woodside was the first 12-hole layout in the state and resembles high-end municipal courses. It’s just right for people hoping to add a little more golf beyond the shorter round of 9 holes. The Falcone is a shorter course designed for novices learning the game or those hoping to hone their short game; and Little Hawk is a superb “putt-putt” course played on natural grass with real sand and water hazards.
