By Greg Johnson –
Black Lake Golf Club in Onaway, one of the 16 premier golf courses in the Gaylord Golf Mecca, offers the best of everything. We could tell you all of the best stuff, but let’s start with a fabulous foursome of reasons to make it part of your next trip to the Mecca.

Black Lake features the award-winning golf course Architect Rees Jones designed for the UAW Black Lake Conference Center in 2000. It’s a classic design with imaginative bunkering, top-notch conditioning and a get-away-from-it-all feel on each isolated hole.

Magnificent trees and views of the rolling terrain will start flashing nature’s vibrant colors in the next month or so. It’s great golf in living color and a fall color tour, nature hike and a round of golf all at the same time.

The golf course will challenge and thrill all who play it. It has made more than one appearance on Golf Digest’s “100 Greatest Public Courses in America” list and has annually made best-of lists across the board. It was designed to provide a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. Five sets of tee markers give the golfer options and the course plays from 5,058 to 7,030 yards.

Black Lake is central to one of the most popular travel packages in the Mecca. Called the Tour Golf Package, it is presented in conjunction with Mecca partners Gaylord Golf Club and The Pines at Michaywe.’ It is loaded with multiple rounds of classic golf at amazing prices, and in September fall rates will kick in. Black Lake usually stays open well into October.
