Black Lake Golf Club in Onaway is one of Michigan's hidden gem golf experiences, tucked into the remote northeastern Lower Peninsula near the pristine Black Lake. Owned and operated by the UAW (United Auto Workers), the facility was developed as a retreat and recreational center for union members but is open to the public, offering a remarkably high-quality layout at its wooded northern Michigan setting. Designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish and opened in 1993, the course showcases dramatic terrain with significant elevation changes, deep ravines, and panoramic views across the surrounding forest and lake. The routing through dense northern Michigan hardwoods and pines creates a secluded, wilderness atmosphere that feels far removed from urban Michigan. Black Lake is a genuine destination course that rewards the drive to Onaway.
Designed by the acclaimed team of Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish and opened in 1993, Black Lake was developed by the UAW as a flagship recreational facility for its members. The course immediately earned recognition for its ambitious design in a remote northeastern Michigan setting.
