The Bluffs Course is revered for its wind-swept native grasses, sod-walled bunkers, wide fairways, spacious greens, and stunning views of Lake Michigan. Built on a spectacular bluff overlooking the lake's eastern shore, Arcadia Bluffs delivers the raw, elemental golf that few American courses can match. Construction began in 1997 and was completed in 1999, with designers Warren Henderson and Rick Smith creating the course. The 240-acre property features relentless wind, massive dunes, and breathtaking vistas around every corner. GPS-equipped golf carts are included in your round, or you may take advantage of the seasonal caddie program, and players are always welcome to walk and carry or push their clubs. This is bucket-list golf that justifies every penny, with the Bluffs Course ranking as Michigan's 3rd best course and USA's 102nd best course according to Golf Digest 2025/26.
