A-Ga-Ming Golf Resort – Antrim Dells

Designed by Jerry Matthews, the Dells is rated 4.5 stars by Golf Digest and overlooks beautiful Lake Michigan. The front nine is more spacious and features hills, sand and water and is a parkland type course with room to miss the fairway now and then. The back nine is cut through the trees with water and sand coming in to play as well. Combine all the natural terrain features of this cleverly cut golf course with winds coming off of Lake Michigan from the west and you have a great course that can play different every time out.

After a round of golf, have lunch or cocktails in the rustic chalet clubhouse overlooking the course. Relax and enjoy its picturesque views of lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay or even dine with us on weekends and enjoy a beautiful northern Michigan Sunset while your eating some Crab stuffed whitefish caught from the very same lake. Antrim Dells is now part of Agaming Golf Resort just 10 miles to the south and has excellent lodging choices for golfers looking to stay and enjoy all of our courses and area.

Hawk’s Eye has been ranked as the 12th greatest public golf course in the state of Michigan. It is a beautiful semi-private, championship golf course that is the centerpiece of Hawk’s Eye Golf Community located in beautiful northern Michigan. The golf course opened its entire 18 hole layout for play in June of 2004. The course has continued to impress golfers of all levels.

The beginner will find the huge fairways and greens forgiving and enjoyable and the seasoned player will find the course challenging because the course has been designed with a risk/reward strategy in mind. In short, it is fun for everyone. Grandparents, parents, children, men, women, expert, novice, no matter, you will enjoy your quality time at Hawk’s Eye!
