Par 4 • 353 Yards • Onaway, Michigan
The second hole at Black Lake Golf Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power.

Strategy Tips
Target the center of the fairway with your tee shot, as the landing area is generous at 65 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, giving you plenty of room to work with on this short par 4.
Be aware that the fairway narrows significantly to just 54 yards wide at the 250-yard mark, so longer hitters should consider laying back to the 200-yard area for the best angle into the green.
Three bunkers guard the approach zone at 248, 281, and 333 yards from the tee - the bunker at 333 yards is likely greenside, so precise distance control is crucial on your approach shot.
The green measures 31 yards deep by 24 yards wide with 4,585 square feet of putting surface - this compact target rewards accurate iron play and proper club selection.
At only 353 yards, this hole offers birdie opportunities for accurate players - consider hitting a controlled tee shot to leave yourself a comfortable wedge distance rather than trying to drive close to the green.
This 353-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
