About HawksHead Golf
HawksHead Golf Course in South Haven sits in western Michigan and was designed by golf architect Arthur Hills. The layout plays to a par of 72, stretching to 6,915 yards from the championship tees and measuring 4,889 yards from the gold tees, giving golfers of varying abilities a range of options.
Variety defines the routing. The opening hole is a gentle introduction, where tee shots favoring the left side of the fairway set up the best angle of approach. Elsewhere the course asks more: one dogleg right tempts players to cut the corner over a large waste area, while deep pot bunkers and a broad grassy gully guard the green for anyone attempting to reach it in two.
