UAW Black Lake

"most relaxing place in Michigan. This place bring solidarity to anyone who is around. The history of what the UAW is about just makes you want to be a part of the UAW even more."

"Loved the experience. Great hiking trail. Beautiful golf course. Very friendly staff. Training courses were excellent. Rooms were clean and the food was excellent."

"4.5 star. Beautiful club house. The greens could use a little TLC and the fairways are a little beat-up. Challenging course with nice veiws.. They have a nice driving range. Getting the balls from the machine does take a little finesse. We were paired with another couple. We would give it a 5 star if they had better greens. They weren't awful but do need some love."

"I was pleasantly surprised at the accommodations of the conference center. We planned a group ATV trip for mid-September and my husband made reservations at the UAW Black Lake. The rooms albeit simple, were clean and comfortable. Keep in mind that this was built in the early 70's, so don't be surprised by a blue sink and toilet! The center has an indoor olympic size pool, ping pong and pool tables, tennis courts, campgrounds, canoe and kayak rentals and slips to dock your boat. There are large fireplaces throughout the facility, of which I can imagine would be quite warm and lovely on a cold winter's day. The only downside is that if you do not own an American made car you have to park outside of the facility grounds and wait for a shuttle bus to take you back. The buses run about every 10 minutes. But, get this... the UAW will loan you money to buy a foreign car. What?! All in all, if you are an outdoor enthusiast, I would highly recommend this place as your base camp."

"I cannot even begin to explain the beauty that is within this place. It’s like taking a step back into the 1970s but in the best way possible. You can tell that the craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail was put into everything. The hotel has beautiful woodwork and stonework throughout. There are many incredible sculptures that add to the beauty as well. The acreage that everything sits on is well maintained and breathtaking. The hotel is right next to a river and our room had a river view! The hotel has a pool, sauna, game room (ping pong & pool), huge gym, exercise equipment, a golf course and tennis court. The property sits on the beautiful Black Lake which is very clean. They have kayak and bike rentals. There’s so many trails to explore. A campground to stay at. Cabins to rent. There is even a store on the property! I also love their policy that your vehicle has to be American made to enter. This place was built by the UAW. Let’s keep the American workers working!"
