Hole 14 at Black Lake Golf Club

Par 3 • 238 Yards • Onaway, Michigan

Enhanced Content

Brutal

The 14th at Black Lake Golf Club presents a demanding 238-yard par 3 that tests precision and club selection in Michigan's pristine north woods setting. This lengthy one-shotter requires golfers to carry their tee shot over natural terrain to reach a small, well-protected green complex. The absence of major hazards might seem forgiving, but the combination of distance and target size creates its own challenge, especially when northern Michigan winds factor into club selection.

The straight layout demands accuracy over power, as the compact green offers little margin for error on approach shots. Players must commit fully to their club choice and trust their swing, as coming up short or long leaves difficult recovery shots. This hole epitomizes Black Lake's philosophy of strategic golf through thoughtful design rather than overwhelming hazards.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 238-yard par 3 demands precision with your tee shot selection. Consider taking one less club and focusing on accuracy to find the center of the green, as there's no fairway landing area to bail out to.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunker positioned at 238.5 yards - essentially pin-high with the back of the green. Any shot that carries too far or catches a gust of wind could find this sand trap.

green

Target the center of this generous 5,956 square foot green (35x30 yards) rather than attacking pins. The large putting surface gives you room for error and better two-putt opportunities.

approach

With the forward bunker at 137 yards, it's not a factor for your tee shot, but be aware that any severely mishit shot could still find trouble short of the green.
