Every once in a while, a golf package comes along that makes you stop, do the math twice, and wonder how it’s even possible. The Gaylord Triple Play Tour Package is exactly that kind of deal—and once you see the quality of the golf involved, it quickly becomes one of the best values in all of Northern Michigan golf.
As featured on Michigan Golf Live, the Triple Play brings together three outstanding courses—Gaylord Golf Club, Black Lake Golf Club, and Michaywe Pines Golf Club—into one seamless golf getaway that delivers 63 holes of golf, two nights of lodging, and full resort amenities for under $300 per person.
Yes, really.

Stop One: Gaylord Golf Club — A Classic Start With Country Club Feel
Your Triple Play journey begins on the way north at Gaylord Golf Club, a course beloved by locals and visitors alike for its pristine conditioning and welcoming atmosphere. While it operates with private members, Gaylord Golf Club remains proudly open to the public—maintaining country-club-level conditions without the exclusivity.
This is a precision golf course, not a bomber’s paradise. Multiple tee options—from just over 6,500 yards down to 3,600 yards—ensure players of all abilities can enjoy the layout. Strategic doglegs, subtly contoured greens, and elevation changes reward smart shot-making.
Memorable holes include the dramatic dogleg par-5 fifth, the scenic eighth overlooking water and rolling terrain, and the challenging finishing stretch where uphill approaches and false fronts demand full commitment. Gaylord Golf Club sets the tone perfectly: fun, fair, and beautifully maintained.

Stop Two: Black Lake Golf Club — Championship Golf and Your Home Base
From there, the tour continues north to Black Lake Golf Club near Onaway, just off I-75 at Exit 310. Designed by Rees Jones, Black Lake is a true championship test—stretching past 7,000 yards from the tips and offering the kind of scale and solitude rarely found at public-accessible courses.
Carved through dense forest with wide spacing between holes, Black Lake feels secluded and immersive. You won’t hear “fore” from another fairway. You’ll hear birds, wind, and the occasional deer wandering across the course.
Signature holes include the demanding par-4 fourth (the No. 1 handicap), the iconic par-3 fifth known as The Sahara with its massive sand carry, and a breathtaking closing stretch from 15 through 17 that blends wetlands, elevation, and risk-reward drama.
Black Lake is also where you’ll stay for both nights of the package. Lodging sits along the lake itself and includes comfortable hotel rooms, full fitness facilities, a gymnasium, and even RV and camping options—making this far more than just a golf stop.
Stop Three: Michaywe Pines — Walkable, Welcoming, and Community-Driven
The final leg of the Triple Play brings you back toward Gaylord to Michaywe Pines Golf Club, a community favorite known for playability, tree-lined fairways, and exceptional conditions.
Stretching over 7,000 yards yet highly walkable, Michaywe Pines gives golfers room to swing the driver while still demanding accuracy. Real trees mean real consequences, but the layout never feels punishing.
Standout holes include the strategic par-5 second, the picturesque par-3 seventh, the river-crossing par-3 11th, and the serene par-5 14th—perhaps the quietest, most peaceful hole on the course.
What truly separates Michaywe Pines is its community involvement, with volunteers adopting holes, filling divots, and repairing ball marks—an uncommon touch that shows in the day-to-day conditioning.
One Package, Endless Reasons to Book
Three distinct golf personalities. Two nights of lodging. Championship design, classic layouts, and community charm—all wrapped into one affordable, easy-to-book experience.
The Gaylord Triple Play Tour Package isn’t just a deal—it’s a reminder of why Northern Michigan remains one of the best golf destinations in the country.
Book it once, and chances are you’ll be coming back every year.
