Black Lake, Onaway, MI

We played this course as part of a Big Four package. It is a UAW owned course that, as it's website states, "blends with the natural terrain". The course has a lot of challenging "terrain", bunkers, trees, rough areas, etc. There's not a lot of water or elevation. The fairways were in good condition, as were the greens. There was a lot of wildlife because it is a very wooded area.  We saw these raccoons climbing on the water station. 

 
Although it was a hard course, I think it was pretty woman friendly.  The tee boxes were well ahead of the mens which made it very playable.  Unfortunately, we were behind a group of about 15 guys who were very slow...they kept watching each other on alot of the par 3s so we waited on most holes...the ranger said "there's nothing we can do about it" which I find hard to believe.  There were a couple of really nice holes but it definitely was not as scenic or in as nice condition as Little Traverse Bay.  I'd definitely golf here again given the opportunity but I won't make it a special trip.
