    The golf course is perfect. The long rounds leave something to be said.

    The golf course is outstanding. I would say it is a must play for anyone looking for incredible views of Lake Michigan. The only problem is the staff at the course. We played on a very slow day in early June, no one was around our foursome, so we were taking in the views. The ranger tells us we need to speed up our play. There was no other groups around us. The staff took a great experience and ruined it.

    I've played in several states while serving in the military and played numerous top 100 courses throughout the country. I have no doubt that Arcadia should be in the top 5 of Americas best courses based on it's condition, asthetics, clubhouse amenities and choice of tee selection to make it a true challenge for all golf levels. If not for the logistics challege this would be a true U.S. Open venue.
    Lastly, this is a must play on any golfers list and my hats off to the entire staff for your outstanding work.

    I've played the best courses in Ireland and many here in the U.S. including Whistling Straits, Franklin Hills and Crystal Downs and I believe Arcadia Bluffs to be the best course in terms of layout, scenery, condition and value. For the full price of $180.00 one can play a World class course. If one is lucky enough to play Arcadia on a fairly calm day, the experience can't be beat. The only detail that may be lacking is the availability to take a caddie. Although this course would be hard to walk, golfing with a caddie, in my opinion, always enhances the experience.
