Arcadia, Michigan
Massive views, massive elevation change, massive fun

Some golf courses are subtle, and underwhelm at first before slowing revealing their mysterious charms. Arcadia Bluffs is not one of those courses. From the moment you arrive, you can see this is a big, brash course that’s knows it’s got something special and is not afraid to flaunt it. The change in elevation is its secret weapon – the property drops precipitously as it approaches the cliffs above Lake Michigan, which allows for impressive vistas and a fun, tumbling routing. But this boldness – one reviewer calls the course “obnoxiously beautiful” – works. Arcadia Bluffs is an experience, in a way few other courses are. Take this totally fun journey – you’re not soon to forget it.
Expert Reviews
Arcadia Bluffs runs along more than 3,000 feet of shoreline and the course drops more than 200 feet from its highest point down to the cliffs which themselves are 150 feet above the lake – it is as dramatic a setting for golf as you can imagine and there is not a weak hole on the card to give you any respite as you play.
Top 100 Golf CoursesGiven the extreme nature of this site, both the fairways and greens are generously sized, although skinny target areas do make some pin locations quite severe. The outlooks and playing characteristics, however, are first-rate and most who play Arcadia Bluffs are likely to walk away from a round immensely satisfied.
