As spring rolls in and the snow finally melts away, golfers all around the Lake Geneva area know what time it is—Opening Day at Hawk's View Golf Club.
Whether you're a returning member, a casual weekend player, or a first-time visitor, there's a lot to be excited about this year. We've been busy during the off-season making upgrades, enhancements, and additions to give you an even better golf experience in 2025.
Here's what's waiting for you this season at Hawk's View ⬇️
⛳ Course Enhancements That Elevate Every RoundBoth Como Crossings and Barn Hollow are looking better than ever thanks to ongoing course improvements and long-term upgrades:
🔧 Bunker & Cart Path Improvements- We've begun our bunker restoration project, starting with refreshed sand in key areas and a plan to rebuild them one at a time for long-term consistency and playability.
- Cart paths are also being upgraded, starting with some troublesome areas that have been upgraded from asphalt to concrete paths for smoother rides and better durability.
- You'll notice changes right away on Hole 2 at Como Crossings—we're expanding the creek water feature before the green to now include five custom-designed waterfalls, plus a new reservoir between Hole 2 green and Hole 3 green. This not only enhances the visual beauty of the hole but brings a new layer of serenity to your round, and maybe makes you re-think your second shot.
- We're currently working on structural improvements to the main bridge entrance, with plans for a full redesign and rebuild in 2026.
You may remember our new fleet of GPS-equipped golf carts from last season—but this year, they come with some notable upgrades:
✔️ Enhanced seat cushions for a smoother, more comfortable ride
✔️ USB plugs for charging your phone or speaker
*Bonus: We're working on another enhancement, but we've gotta sit tight before we can announce it.
Whether you're playing 9 or 18, you'll ride in comfort and style.
