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 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.

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.
