First time at Black Lake was enjoyable. I thought the conditions were great and the people I was paired with (who play there often) said things have improved a lot since last year. Apparently they just got new sand, I got up and down from the bunker on back-to-back holes for probably the first time in my life, so I was fond of it obviously. There are a few poorly-designed holes IMO, but for what I paid ($62 on a Tuesday), it's hard to advise against giving it a play. Hidden River was excellent as always. If and when I can retire to Northern Michigan, it's under strong consideration of where I would join. Conditions were great and I think the layout is very good. Bring bug spray though, was pretty bad both times I have played now, which is not uncommon for Northern Michigan.
