Beautiful Day

Caught a great price on tee-off. Course was in ok condition. I think we've had a lot of rain here or it's being overwatered. Greens were true but slow. Lots of ball marks. Waited every tee 15-20 minutes. 4.5 hour round. I'd play it again for the rate I received from tee-off.

Excellent layout. Great variety.

This was the first time playing Black Lake Golf Club. I definitely be back! Quality layout with great variety. My only minor complaint is that players need to replace divots and add sand. Not a complaint of the course but of players who need to take an extra minute to sustain the beauty of this top quality northern Michigan golf course.

Great layout. Good condition. Challenging. Because of elevation changes ....coarse plays longer than score card distance. Excellent value for a north Michigan premium GC

Other than the Gnats

Course was lush and in good shape. Thick rough, fairways overall good shape and greens were smooth and rolled with good speed. If it weren’t for the bothersome gnats that wouldn’t leave us alone it would be 4.5 stars.

Beautiful and challenging!

Absolutely beautiful! The natural landscape is awesome. Bring your A-game, it's long with some tight fairways and unforgiving roughs; it's a championship course. The staff was very friendly and the carts with gps tablets was a nice touch. I can't wait to play again next year. Highly recommended.

Black Lake reaffirms appreciation

On my anniversary trip, I revisited Black Lake Gold Club to play 18 holes. The town of Onaway, UAW Lodge and Black Lake Golf Club have reaffirmed my appreciation! The Clubhouse, staff, restaurant, links, Pro shop and amenities exceed expectations and do not disappoint! The patrons are friendly and welcoming and allowed me (a single) to join their 3-piece and we shared laughs and tips and clubs the whole day thru. The links are beautiful and provide and incredible habitat for the animals that occupy this lush forested location. This is one of my favorite courses in the country and I'd recommend anyone play here at least once! Be sure to try the delicious margaritas and best of luck on that long 18th hole!

Excellent course

Challenging, yet very playable. Great layout. Awesome GPS in carts. Probably can't find a better course for the money. Will return many times.
