Black Bear Golf Club

A 19-hole golf course? Sounds great! This weekend we're making a return trip to northern Michigan with a feature for $19 for 19 holes at one of the Gaylord Golf Mecca's original founders, Black Bear Golf Club, in Vanderbilt. Meticulously manicured and in great shape all year, Black Bear Golf Club is a true treat for Northern Michigan golf lovers. As evidenced by its fifth-straight People’s Choice Award, this course offers a beautifully landscaped bang for a relatively small amount of buck. Home of Michigan’s only 19-hole golf course, Black Bear Golf Club offers you a chance to take a first-hole mulligan with a 159-yard, par-3 warm-up hole.

Under new ownership since 2005, Black Bear Golf Club has taken extreme pride in maintaining stellar course conditions and providing a good, old-fashioned friendly atmosphere. A Golf Digest 4-Star rating may not do this Gaylord-area gem true justice. Measuring 6,663 yards from the back tees (71.5/138) and a friendly 4,499 from the forward reds, Black Bear Golf Club provides the opportunity for an enjoyable round of golf for players of all skill levels. Offering a unique blend of Scottish links-style holes and a touch of the Northern Michigan-standard tree-lined fairway, Black Bear Golf Club will inspire you to save room on the calendar for next year's golf vacation.

After your round, be sure to stop at the Black Bear Grill and try one of their delicious signature ‘Sandwedges’ or Black Bear Burger along with a refreshing beverage. With a beautiful autumn drive northward, ending just minutes west of I-75, Black Bear Golf Club is easy to find but hard to forget. So come, play a course beloved by locals that Golf Digest says you can't miss out on. Come experience Black Bear Golf Course, you'll be happy you did.
