Hawkshead Inn

Looking for a unique place then this is it! The staff/owners all get five stars. This place is quaint and reminds me of the place on the Gilmore girls show. We went on a couples golf weekend. They are the one stop that has it all. The dining experience is wonderful. The mornings with Alecia serving warm breads, fruit, yogurt, juices (and the best coffee I’ve had in a while) is a great way to start your morning. The bedrooms are nice size with comfortable mattresses. The golf course is beautiful and it is maintained well. There are challenges on the course (but not too many ) we all really liked it a lot. We look forward to coming back again!

What an absolute fantastic venue to play and stay. All aspects of the experience were top notch. From the moment we stepped foot on the property to the time we left, 4 days later, we were made to feel better than family. Food was great, accommodations were excellent and the golf was phenomenal. Will definitely be going back to stay and play again. Thanks to the owners...you did a fabulous job; please don't change anything.

We stayed at the cabins for a bachelorette party and we loved it! There are 4 rooms - each room has a queen bed and a twin bed. Each room also has its own bathroom. There is also a washer and dryer and plenty of seating in the living and kitchen area. It was very clean! I have also stayed in the inn many times and love it - only 5 mins from the beach and downtown. The restaurant is also amazing. My favorite place in south haven!

My Friend and I biked to the inn from Kalamazoo. The Staff was awesome and made every accommodation for us. The Restaurant was amazing, we didn't have one bad meal or drink. The staff made us feel like we were at home. The golf course looked amazing... Our golf skills were lacking, but we still had an amazing trip. Thanks Hawkshead!

My heartfelt thanks to Greg Ruppert, owner of Head Hawk Inn for saving my wedding.
I dreamed of holding a ceremony on the shores of Lake Michigan and was looking for a place for the reception in South Haven.

We were recommended several places in South Haven, but we could not get through to them, and the administrators asked us to send letters to the mail and they did not answer.

And there was little time before a decision was made.

I called the Hawkshead Inn in desperation, and Greg answered the phone.

He said that theoretically everything is possible, reassured me and we agreed to come and see everything on the spot.

When my husband and I arrived, I was delighted with the atmosphere of this place - the atmosphere of serenity and the beauty of nature.

This is exactly the place where I wanted to have my wedding!

There is a golf course nearby, a very pleasant patio, a green courtyard with an arch, where you can take beautiful photos.

And, most importantly, Greg, who has been organizing weddings in his hotel for over 30 years.

I really liked his words: the main thing is that you come, and we will do everything.

As a result, the wedding exceeded all expectations:

1) Jeannie, the decorator and bartender, created an amazing decor from what we brought, and then put it all together

2) Mike, the chef, prepared food better than in Michelin restaurants, everything the guests commented that the food was amazing

The crab fondue was wonderful and the fish from Lake Michigan was just so delicious!

3) We were helped to set up a sound system for our presenter and singer Svetlana Stone And many guests said that it was the best wedding in their memory.

After the wedding, we stayed in the Hawkshead Inn room with a fireplace, panoramic windows to the forest and black squirrels. It was so romantic!

Thank you so much Greg, I will always remember this day and my heart is still warm when I remember you and your help, so needed at the right time.

I can recommend Hawkshead Inn to anyone who wants to make their holiday amazing and keep bright deep pleasant impressions for the rest of their lives, not only in a photo album, but also in their hearts.

Thank you very much, regards, Kate and Thomas

It was a little tricky to get to, but the location setting was very nice. Service was top notch. They have a very nice selection of food and drinks. Along with it being delicious of course. The golf course looked very well maintained. We will be back to play and dine in the future.

Greg & all the staff at Hawkshead are professional, SO nice, and easy to work with! Greg helped me plan a small wedding, and the atmosphere was lovely, the cuisine was amazing, and their attention to detail made all the difference! They treated us and our guests wonderfully, and accommodated us with rooms after the reception. THANK YOU all so much! We look forward to returning to the inn & restaurant for many years to come!

My first visit. Excellent food. We had a large group for an anniversary party and the server was great. She was very friendly and cheerfully answered any questions and took care of everything we asked for. Kudos to her and the kitchen staff as we ordered many items and all were superb! Thanks again highly recommend and will return.

Amazing place! It has only nine rooms, each different and a five star style restaurant off the lobby of this transformed mansion. The golf course is unbelievable!! Go see for yourself. Google it! Go there!

Was invited to Hawkshead for a celebration of life for a dear man that died way too young. The environment was cozy and comfortable and perfect. It made the experience intimate but fit 100 people. I actually enjoyed the food so much that I told my husband we should make a quick day trip to South Haven and in to summer to go again.

fantastic stay ! the rooms are cozy and the service is phenomenal!! we had dinner there as well, fantastic...top notch. We had a few of their items and everything exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic meal. Everything was phenomenal. One of the best dining experiences I have had in a while. A bit hard to find the place without GPS.

A links style golf course with some very fast greens. Conditions are great and pace of play can be an issue at times but overall a great place to enjoy some golf.

Quaint and charming place to stay. They do an amazing job and it feels like home. The building is close to 100 years old. Great find.. Stay and play is a good deal.

Very well kept course! The food is amazing and the servers are always VERY friendly! Highly recommend if you're in the area!

I and my fellow athletes have been going up there for 12 years now. Everyone is really nice, the food is great and the course is a lot of fun.

Wonderful food and atmosphere. The staff is some of the nicest you could find anywhere. Accommodating, fun to be with.

Elegant setting, delicious food, and excellent service are the backbone of this fine restaurant. Love the whitefish and the bread is to die for!

Best 18 holes golf course with friendliness of staff in South Haven. Make variety of food, easy to cater events and wedding

Love this golf course and staying at the inn was an amazing experience! Great food!
