Seth Raynor did his magic laying out this course while not placing a single hole on Lake Michigan. Holes 10-15 is one of the best stretches of holes you’ll find anywhere and the greens are lightning with much undulation. Any day at Shoreacres is a magical day.

It's open off the tee, but the green complexes are challenging and provide a defense for the course. Conditioning is always fantastic and the greens are generally the star of the show. Different winds provide different challenges. Back is harder than the front, especially the par 3s.

The 2nd hole is where the round really kicks into gear — a par 5 with a split fairway that gives you options off the tee. You can take on a longer carry down the right for a better angle in, but it brings the marsh more into play. A pot bunker guards the front of the green…

The front 9 plays as a more traditional 1900s era parkland style course. Some great holes like the #2 reverse redan like par 3. The #5 par 5 can play ~600+ yards when the wind is howling. Really cool Biarritz style green on #8.

Great conditions with a truly unique and exciting layout. No range but new putting green is right next to beautiful patio that overlooks the course with easy sight lines to the ninth and 18th greens.

Definition of a hidden gem. Langford & Moreau design that just needs a little love and small renovation and they could charge triple. No sand in the bunkers, but it doesn’t make them any less challenging. Must-play for a Golden Age nerd.

The greens on 13&17 are finally being re-done, but there is only one spot you can put the pin on both holes. Too many blind approaches to severe greens...examples are 3,5,15&17. Conditioning has gotten better, but still lacks a little for a private club.

Fun layout with developed landscape at a pretty decent price. Decent greens and generally well maintained. Can get busy at peak hours but usually can find times near sunset or early.
