Black Lake Golf Club

Hole19 golfers rank Black Lake Golf Club among Michigan's most decorated public courses — and the rankings back that up. Located in Michigan, United States, the Rees Jones-designed layout plays 18 holes at par 72, stretching from 5,049 to 7,035 yards. Golf Digest places it #34 on its 100 Greatest Public Courses list and #5 Best Course to Play in Michigan, while Golf Magazine rates it #6 in the state and Golf Week slots it #9 in its Best State-by-State rankings. The course moves through winding lakes, marshes, ravines, cranberry bogs, a sand quarry, and maple and birch forests. That variety in terrain keeps the routing from feeling repetitive across all 18 holes. Practice facilities include a 350-yard double-sided bentgrass tee range, four chipping and putting greens, four practice bunkers, and private instruction, playing lessons, and clinics from a certified PGA professional. The clubhouse includes the Black Lake Grille, a dining room and lounge, plus a Sports Bar and locker rooms.
