Two nationally ranked 18-hole courses and a 12-hole course on the Lake Michigan shore south of Arcadia, with lodge rooms and cottages on site.
Arcadia Bluffs sits on high ground above Lake Michigan along M-22 south of Arcadia. The original Bluffs Course, routed by Warren Henderson on 240 acres of former orchards and woods, was built between 1997 and 1999. It plays as a links-style layout with wind-blown native grasses, wide fairways, large greens and lake views throughout the round, and it is open to the public seven days a week in season.
The South Course, about a mile south on a 311-acre parcel, was designed by Dana Fry and Jason Straka as a nod to the early American classic style, with few trees, big squared-off greens and bold bunkering laid out in two nine-hole loops. The Dozen, added in 2025 on a separate 160-acre site, is a walkable 12-hole course of par threes and par fours. Both 18-hole courses have full practice ranges, and guests can stay in rooms at the clubhouse lodge or in cottages, including four cottages at The Dozen, with a shuttle linking the properties.
