Reviews of Black Lake Golf Club (Golf)

Brian M.

Well designed golf course, difficult but fair. Usually in good shape, but soft.

Mike tucker

Beautiful course with wonderful "into nature" feel.

Michael Phelps

Great course

Suzanne Smith

Course is beautiful. I come here to play a round at least once a year. I have never been disappointed unril5thia year. They were getting ready for a large outing and after the 8th hole we had to contend with large tractor mounted blowers every hole; they just kept following is through the end. At one point there were two of them on the fairway and a weedwhacker on the fairway next to ours. The noise and distraction was intolerable. My pretty good round went in the trash. We didn't bother to play the last two holes. Very disappointing.

Kthockey

Great course , great staff, pricing is a steal, tough location- loved it and will go back for sure. No tricks - you see all the trouble from the tee, great greens, top notch layout

John Huntley

4 Star Resort!

Michael Rollins

Not cheap but a great course

Steve Hull

Challenging course that plays longer than listed due to time going uphill. Beautiful and well maintained.

Robert Athey

Nicest Fairways I've seen in a very long time. One of the quietest and most picturesque golf courses that I've played. Really worth going and playing!

Rangers are old grumpy a-holes that like to attack young golfers, I won’t be back despite the beautiful course conditions.

James Shafran

Great northern golf and atmosphere

Lyle Leys

Excellent greens, well groomed and thought out fairways. One of the best courses I've ever played.

eric nortan

Golf course was great. Very tough. Lodging was OK, but more geared for conferences. Parking at the condos was terrible. You had to walk quite a ways from the parking areas.

Great Golf course.

Thomas Reeber

Love a course in the woods with no housing. Great condition and friendly staff. Had dinner as well and it was good as well.

Carla O

Was at a wedding reception here. They were very nice and accommodated us well. They even shuttled us to our rooms at the UAW. It was a little small though and had to be separated into two rooms. Made it feel disconnected.

Thomas Kelley

Where to start--everything was terrific--from the entire staff to the remarkable course this place was terrific. I've played practically every resort course in northern Michigan & this place is one I look forward to playing again. If I had one thing bad to say is the clock your on the minute you leave the clubhouse. I was struggling pretty bad and hadn't played the course before and a ranger hinted that we needed to pick it up. They even have a timer on the GPS. I understand the reason behind it but they should allow for those like myself. Next time I'll play it when there's less of a time restraint/stress.

Timothy Perkins

Beautiful layout, great course.

Tamra Martaschilling

Beautiful course

Pete Pavlich

I have a good time when we played it twice in a week. I get it a 5.

Edward Jackson

Very beautiful area

Tim Ball

Gorgeous course, challenging but not difficult. You can tell that the course is being well taken care of. The driving range was soaked and water was puddling up when hitting but understood why (little rain in the last 30+ days). It was a busy day on the course, the rangers were on point and friendly, warned us that pace would be slower (we were playing in a twosome and we had two foursomes in front of us). We understood and had no problem with that; we were happy with the honesty. Definitively worth playing again.

Robert Gwizdala

Course was in great shape.

mark stahl

Well maintained, challenging, friendly staff

Clint Carmichael

A high end golfing experience, highly recommend this course.

John M. Sigman

Awesome place! The UAW mecca is a point of pride. I can't wait to go back.

Nik karpo

Beautiful course, great staff! Nicest place in the area for,sure !

Duncan

Very, very nice course. The food is good, the course is beautiful. Ranger was a little rude. We got pushed several times to move faster even though we were 20 minutes ahead. I know they have to move people through, but when we are that far ahead it seems silly to pressure us. All-in-all though, very good experience.

Steven Streeter

Great golf course. Good hot dogs, challenging, I will be back.

Paul Hansknecht

A gorgeous course! It rivals the best.

David Waugh

Great breakfast buffet

Tim Deam

I was at the conference center next door.

t9407ts

Paul D Edwards

Nice course

Brian Carlsen

Great course, great staff!!!

Brad Puszczyk

Called and made a tee time on June 26th for 4 at 8:30 today 07/05. Drove an hour to the course and they say that they did not have my name on the book. Told them that I called a week ago and who I talked to and all they said was sorry, they didn’t write it down. They said they could not accommodate us and that they could try to find a different golf course for us to go to. Got there at 730, an hour early and they had two cancel but still could not go out because the starter said no. Zero accountability and zero customer service. If you call and they mess up then the customer suffers and all they have to do is say sorry. All of us were UAW members and they turned down $200.00 in golf because of their mistake. I guess you have to call twice to confirm that they did their job. Today was $50, would not waste my money spending more then they can’t handle business now and won’t waste my time again. Was very excited to golf there but their customer service and work ethic was terrible.

Tom Kirkconnell

Visit resort twice a year with UAW retirees. Golf course open to the public. Great amenity for area

Brett Fedorinchik

Challenging course, thick rough, many bunkers and in great shape. I'll be back for sure.

Stephen Pohlman

Raining. Called to cancel. Treated rudely and hung up upon. UAW ... Buying a BMW,

V y

Great golf course fast pace

Ryan Martin

The course is nice, but the customer service is terrible. My friend got a golf cart stuck (not maliciously in any way) and they took his Driver's License and charged him $60 for removing the cart which was only stuck in some wet grass. Learned a valuable lesson today.

Robert Taylor

Beautiful Golf course.

Blevins 270

Beautiful place, it's a hidden gem for sure. Can't wait to come back.

Jason Stauder

One of the best courses in Michigan. Course is maintained great. Nice clubhouse with good food. I would definitely recommend.

William Lowe

Visited the club house

Sandra Dobbins

Had a wonderful time there for a WOMEN'S CONFERENCE. Meet some new friends and saw some old friends. The food was great and so was the staff.

Wayne Hirt

Very nice resort in a great Golf Course

Robert Garvelink

One of the best courses in the U.S. This Reese Jones design is extremely tight but is cut through a thick forest. Its always in amazing shape and must play for if your headed to Northern Michigan.

Nathan F

If you get a chance to play this course don't pass it up. I've played almost every top 25 course in the state and this one ranks near the top.

Steve Shepard

Great course. Wonderful staff on the course and in the clubhouse. Food was very good

Tia Thames

Beautiful place

Garry Dickieson

Beautiful but hard golf course. Good service.

Al Roden

With a late spring this golf course is still a gem. Fairways are wide and imaculate, greens are huge, traps are well maintained with great soft sand, and multiple tee boxes for all levels. The staff is as good as it comes super friendly and helpful. I had a sandwich at the turn and it was fantastic.

SHAWN MACINTYRE

Quiet beautiful

Kyle Slusser

Wonderful golf course in Northern Mich

David V Garcia

Beautiful coarse

Tara Davis

Relaxing

Shawn Chun

Well managed green. Guys at club house were very nice. It was a great time to play here.

Robert Ribarsky

My favorite course in Michigan and have played almost all the great ones in our state! Greens a bit bumpy the last trip, but the layout is superb overall conditions exceed some private clubs and the staff goes out of their way to accommodate from the pro shop to the restaurant/bar. Great practice area and try to make the trip twice annually to enjoy this fine layout.

Great choice for women

Daniel Giganti

Housing, staff and meals were awesome. Thanx for the wonderful hospitality.

Gorgeous scenery. Rustic style rooms that are perfectly functional quite close to Black Lake. I'm afraid I cannot speak to the golf course itself but it's a wonderful place to spend the night

A beautiful, rustic getaway... worth every penny!

Our group of 28 went to black lake golf facilities for the weekend for our annual 36 hole tournament and conference. This is the 17th year in a row that our group has traveled to a northern Michigan golf destination and this weekend was a first for us. On the back nine of our Saturday round our lead group had just teed off on 18, the last foursome was about to tee off on 12 when it started raining, it did rain hard for about 20 minutes then tapered to a steady rain that lasted about 1 hour. This is at 2:00 pm. So we go to the clubhouse, get a burger, watch some football and wait to go back out. At 3:00, the starter comes in and says "we've decided to close the course for the day." Now, in all fairness, the course WAS unplayable at 3:00 pm, however there was 5+ hours until dark and all we wanted to do was finish our round, which could have been accomplished in 1 1/2 hour at most. They gave us all 9 hole rain checks and then THEY WENT HOME!!! In the meantime, I have the other 27 players coming to me asking about going back out because by 4:00 the sun was back out and we looked at one of the greens/fairways and it was drained nicely(this is a Reese Jones designed course, it drains well). The rain checks did us no good because 18 of our 28 players did not have the time to play an extra 9 holes on Sunday after our regularly scheduled round. So I went to one of the facility managers to plead with them, saying we are happy to go cart path only and wait until 6:00 pm if they would like so that we could finish. The woman at the course said, no the GM already decided, the course is closed. I spoke to the GM during this process, he never left the clubhouse to go look at the course. The ONLY reason our group decided on 2 stars is because of Angie, who helped us with rooming. Angie was fantastic and was herself visibly upset at how we were treated. The course is very nice, but the golf course management leaves MUCH to be desired. Course pro Mike was condescending and difficult for many of our players as well. We will NOT be back to Black Lake.

Joseph Seaman

Great course very relaxing

Darin Cates

Beautiful course!

rod4130

A very nice course, almost always in excellent condition. If you think that you'll be in northern Michigan and the weather's right I would definitely recommend checking it out. Reduced rate for UAW members and retiree's is also a nice perk. My only negatives are it's kinda off the beaten path and it's priced toward the high end of most courses you'll find in that area. It is close to the Mackinac Bridge and all the cool stuff up there if that's your thing.

Michael Preseau

Very very nice.. Great place to play !

Robert Scherer

Beautiful course in excellent shape, very challenging.

Jeffery Fisher
