Black Forest Golf Club
Mancelona, MI
Black Forest Golf Club Anyone lucky enough to have seen or played Tom Doak’s magnificent design of the Pacific Dunes Course in Bandon, Ore., will certainly want to play Black Forest. Black Forest is a tour de force through rolling land and hills covered with a thick variety of pine and other hardwood trees. The greens here will get your attention with some of the most severe undulations this side of the Masters. The shaggy, deep white bunkers are works of art.
