Black Lake Golf Club Onaway, Michigan Northern Michigan's newest golf jewel is Black Lake Golf Club, designed by acclaimed architect Rees Jones, who is renowned for his classic style and unsurpassed quality. Jones found a welcoming canvas on 300 acres of the Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center with mature forests, wetlands and sandy soil, which are a designer's delight. The May 2003 issue of Golf Digest ranked Black Lake Golf Club 34th among the "100 Greatest Public Courses in America." In 2001, the course was named the fourth best course in state rankings.
