Located near Michigan’s capital city of Lansing and minutes from Michigan State University’s campus, Eagle Eye Golf Club is one of the state’s top-ranked public courses. The 18-hole championship course opened in 2003 and was designed by Chris Lutzke, a protégé of legendary architect Pete Dye. Lutzke’s design features some Dye staples like railroad ties, severe mounding and pot bunkers. But the most recognizable homage to Dye is the TPC Sawgrass-inspired island-green 17th hole. The 9th and 18th holes are both dramatic par 5s that hug each side of a large pond from tee to green. Eagle Eye has a 65,000-square-foot clubhouse that, in addition to a pro shop and grill with outdoor seating overlooking the course, can host a variety of large groups, outings and weddings. Over the years, Eagle Eye has regularly made the Golfers’ Choice Michigan an Top 50 United States lists on GolfPass.

Impressive track

My wife and I recently had a round here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I enjoyed the layout more than my wife since she found several of the holes too difficult. Greens, tees and fairways were all in great condition and the staff were very welcoming. Highly recommend a round here.

Be ready to play…

The first cut is THICK and the rest is unbelievable! If you hit there, its gone! Bring an extra box unless you can hit the fairways every time.

Great fun course…we are still talking about it.

Awesome

Not much to stay that has not already been said. I am a high handicap and found it very enjoyable to play not to difficult for my level but challenging. Was playing in a four man scramble so pace of play was longer than normal.

Very nice track.

This one doesn't disappoint. One of the best in Michigan. Wish we hadn't gotten caught up with a huge outing and made to play the back 9 first, but still well worth the trip from GR and the cost. We'll be back.

What a Gem of a course

Eagle Eye has to be one of the nicest courses I've ever had the chance to play on. Everything from clubhouse, to practice facilities, and from tee-to-greens is in excellent condition. Very well managed pace of play, never had any issues with waiting around to hit or getting stuck behind slower groups. This course has a way of making you feel like a pro, without venturing far from home. Each time a tee-shot hits a fairway, or that approach sticks on the green, is a reason to smile when playing here. This course offers a lot of rewards for smart, accurate play, and a lot of "not over there!" when straying from the fairways. The infamous island green will leave you in awe and is the most rewarding hole to hit a solid shot to the green on. Whether not having your best day, or having the greatest round of the year, there is no better place to do it, than Eagle Eye. I played early in the season (April) and the course was well ahead of other courses in the area as far as condition. I couldn't resist going back so booked a tee time to return in May and the staff/grounds-keepers actually had managed to get the links in better condition. Greens are fast and have some hidden breaks, fairways are cut tight, and rough is in a class of its own here. Many bunkers here with a good amount of water hazards. I recommend this to anyone who wants a great visual from each tee block, and a course that will spark a lot of conversation weeks after the round has been in the books.

Great value for a great course

This course is everything that is written about it. The fairways and greens were in great shape. The greens were extremely fast and in great shape considering a rough winter. The roughs were a little to long in my opinion but the grass is really starting to grow now. A great test of golf, will definitely try the course again.

Test your mind and ability

Excellent challenge, especially from back tees. Added wind forces smart decision making. Each hole has it's uniqueness, but they all fit together. Loved how hard it is, but fair if you hit a quality shot. Thought about island 17 the whole round, just like TPC. Parred it and birdied 18 for a 79, so I had a great experience. Visually rewarding as well. Early round presents a problem w fertilizer guy who leaves little white bubble clumps in fairway and really tough to spot your ball in morning sun. A little expensive to play every week, but worth the price when making a trip to MSU to visit the Rose Bowl champs. Go Green!!!!!!

Great for this time of year.

We played Eagle Eye on 11/20/2013 and it was in great shape for being this time of year. The greens were slower but not real slow. We got a good deal the day we played also which we never get there so we went. It it worth playing here, especially if you get a better deal. Hawk Hollow across the road has more trees & Eagle Eye is more of a links course. It is worth playing both of them along with Woodside, a nine hole course nearby.
