Rating 75.9

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.

Best Experience Ever

I booked a tee time right after they had an outing. So the entire course emptied out and I had it to myself as a single. I played it in 2 hours 25min and I thought I took my time. Didn't see another golf the entire time. I think not many others booked because of leagues later that night. Had the best time ever.

Perfect 9 holes

A beautiful course with challenging holes. We teed off at 6pm and enjoyed every minute and every hole on the back nine. The island green #17 is amazing and a true test of your short game. A relaxing 9 holes with a couple of brews after while watching the tigers was a real treat!

Excellent Experience

I don't think I have ever played a course in better condition than Eagle Eye or Hawk Hollow. The maintenance crew deserves a round of applause for their work on these courses.

Great staff, great facility, good course.

It's hard to rate a course you play in December in Michigan! For the time of year, the course was very good. The course was very busy in spite of the December calander and the staff was very well organized and friendly. The course has very generous fairways with tricky shots if you miss the greens. A sister course to Hawk Hollow just down the street. Take time to play them both, you'll enjoy them both for different reasons.

Great Course, must play

Wonderful Pete Dye course, played with friends in a 70 deg day in November! Layout is challenging with just bunkers and water hazards. Staff members are very friendly. Pace was good until last few holes.

The course was in the middle of redoing the greens and tee boxes and the club house knew that it would be awful playing there yet still ushered us off and gave us mouth when we got back to the club house.

Top Course in Michigan

I've golfed a lot of courses and Eagle Eye is one of my top two favorite courses in Michigan. The course was still in great condition even in October and is always very challenging. I look forward to playing it again next season.

Blustery day but very enjoyable

25 mph day made for a tough round but we moved up a tee and course still really showed its teeth. Some tricky tee shots on knowing where to hit it and where my to but after 1 round you are a lot smarter. GolfNow GPS app helped a bit on some holes but like the 3rd hole you'd never know those mounds are behind hill and in front of green on your first round.
Conditions were awesome and greens were super fast and undulated so I 3 putted a few times but they rolled really good.
Good markings on the course and flagsticks lasers on top are helpful but the par 3 are all layered each morning and thy have plaques with the yardage from tee to pin. Great added experience to help speed up play.

Great combination of layout, sand, water, terrain, etc.

Super value for the money, especially when a discounted GolfNow rate is offered. Dramatic course, excellent condition, just a great experience. Team it up with a round on its sister course, Hawk Hollow, for a terrific 36 hole outing.
