Black Lake - Part of the 1000 acre Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center, Black Lake Golf Club is northern Michigan’s latest golf creation. Golf Digest recently awarded BLGC 2nd place for “Best New Upscale Public Facility” in America. This beautiful course is owned and operated by the UAW for UAW members and guests, as well as the public.

Dunmaglas Golf Course - Located in Charlevoix, this is the newest member of our amazing golf package. Rolling terrain, mature forests and awe-inspiring views are just part of the story at Dunmaglas.

Hidden River Golf and Casting - Created on a one in a million piece of property, the course has unique features including stands of pine, hardwoods, elevation changes, and the Maple River winding through the site. Five tee selections, with yardage ranging from 4787 to 7101, are enjoyable for everyone. State of the art, full color GPS will help give you yardage, pro tips, and the layout of each hole. Hidden River has combined championship golf with unique upscale dining, both overlooking the Maple River.

Little Traverse Bay Golf Club - Seated upon one of the highest bluffs in the area, LTB offers magnificent vistas of Lake Michigan, Little Traverse Bay and three other inland lakes. This “hidden gem” is a must see stop during a northern Michigan trip. Four tee selections make Little Traverse Bay Golf Club a favorite for all. Elevated tees and many downhill holes add to a player’s enjoyment and confidence.
