Rees Jones designed Black Lake Golf Club in Onaway, Michigan — about 40 miles northeast of Gaylord — for the UAW's education center property. The course opened in 2000 and was built across 900 acres of northern Michigan forest and wetlands, with routing that crosses ridges, bogs, and the edges of Black Lake itself. Golf Digest named Black Lake the #34 public course in America for 2009-10, and later ranked it #69 on America's 100 Greatest Public Courses (2012-13) while naming it the #9 Best Value on that list. GolfPass includes it on both the Top 100 Golf Courses in America Under $100 and the Top 25 Public Golf Course Layouts — Golfers' Choice 2024. Golf Advisor's 2022 rankings placed it #26 among the top 50 most popular courses nationally. Golf Magazine rated it #6 Best Course in Michigan. Golf Digest #39 on America's Top 50 Courses for Women. A value-first marquee in the Gaylord Golf Mecca region.
