- I had heard nothing but good things about this course, and could not wait to play it. Wow what a disapointment, this course doesnt even rank in my top 50 courses that i have played. Course has rocks in the sand traps, did not live up to all the hype. Rated #8 in the state to play, I dont think so! Would not go play it again.The Black Forest is a truly gorgeous northern Michigan course. I was just up north for a golf package that included the Black Forest, Wilderness Valley, and the Tribute. The Tribute was obviously the main attraction on the list, so we easily weren't expecting too much from the Black Forest. Were we ever surprised... The Black Forest offered great scenery and some good elavation changes. The course was both beauitful and challenging. Some of the toughest greens I have played in Michigan. Be sure to check this course out if you have the chance!This is a beautiful course, well conditioned and very challenging. The staff was super friendly and the cost for a course of this design is unbelieveable. Make sure you check your card and think your way around as there are some holes that can jump up and bite you. The 18th is a beautiful finishing hole that is reachable in two and will give you good shot to birdie. Put this on your must play list I know I can't wait to see it again.
