    The South Course at Arcadia Bluffs is the perfect compliment to the Bluffs course, offering a completely different style of golf and experience. Golden age architecture, especially MacDonald and Raynor style of golf architecture is my favorite and The South course is inspired by both…

    The Ross design / Hanse renovation is quite a 1-2 punch. I played right after the US Junior Am, boy was that course playing tough! Rough was beyond intense, and there was no easing into the rough… no first cut green-side, just a change from wicked quick greens to a disheartening rough.

    Fantastic views. Course was pristine, but the greens are so extra it felt a little gimmicky. If I were to do it again I’d want a caddie to help with approach shots and around the green.

    Lots of challenging shots and fun undulating greens makes for a fun day. You can play away from a few pins and still end up by the hole. Lots of elevation changes as well as some beautiful views of Traverse Bay.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Michigan. Rankings refresh about hourly.
