Red Hawk Golf Club
Take on one of the Wolverine State’s best with today’s feature: $34 for 18 Holes with Cart at Red Hawk Golf Club in East Tawas near Oscoda ($69 Value. Expires October 29, 2019!)
Part of the famous Arthur Hills Golf Trail that takes you through some of the State’s best courses, today’s feature course, Red Hawk Golf Club in East Tawas, is one of which the legend himself was most proud. Impeccably designed, laid out, and conditioned thanks to Mother Nature’s genius and one of the best greens-keeping crews in the Midwest, Red Hawk is a true classic, and a must-play for any golfer looking to take on the Mitten’s best.
Consistently rated among the top courses in Michigan by Golf Digest Magazine, Michigan Golf Magazine, and more, Red Hawk’s inspired 6,500-yard layout truly speaks for itself. Woven beautifully within the stunning bay-side landscape of East Tawas, each hole offers its own distinct challenge, culminating in a round few golfers will ever forget.
When it comes to forming a strategy for shooting a low score here, the key is to focus on managing the course properly instead of bombing your shots down the fairway - advice that becomes especially valuable on the par-4 2nd hole. A favorite of Arthur Hills himself, this just-under-300-yard challenge requires an expertly aimed tee shot if you want to miss the seven bunkers that protect both the landing area and green. Since the relatively short distance doesn’t require a 300-yard drive to hit the green in regulation, locals would advise you to pick an iron you consistently hit straight and put a safe one in the fairway. However, if you’re really feeling adventurous, a lengthy tee shot and a bit of luck could put you in position for a rare Eagle early in your round.
Along with the stand-out course, Red Hawk Golf Club features a full set of amenities that rival any private club in the area. The extensive pro shop is fully stocked with equipment and apparel from golf’s biggest brands, and the professional staff can help you pick out exactly what’s right for improving your game. Warming up before your round can be done on both the full-service driving range and beautifully conditioned practice putting green that will help you learn the speed of the greens before you hit the course.
The chance to play one of Michigan’s best courses without completely emptying your pocket book doesn’t come along very often, which is why you’d be foolish to let today’s feature pass you by. Reserve your round with GroupGolfer now!
