Black Bear Golf Club

Black Bear Golf Club plays 18 holes at par 72, stretching 6,504 yards. A driving range is on site. Vanderbilt is in Otsego County in the northern Lower Peninsula, surrounded by dense forest, rolling hills, and small inland lakes. The heavily wooded terrain in this part of Michigan typically means tight fairways framed by hardwoods and conifers.

Standard pricing makes Black Bear a mid-range option in a region packed with golf courses. Gaylord Golf Club, Otsego Resort, and Treetops Resort are all within the broader Gaylord resort corridor nearby. The area is a major golf destination in Michigan, drawing players from across the state and the Midwest during the summer season. Black Bear adds another full-length 18 to an already deep lineup of courses in Otsego County.
