“⛳ Arcadia Bluffs - South Course, Arcadia, MI: 👍👍👍👍👍

Experience a Strategic Masterpiece at the South Course of Arcadia Bluffs, a distinct golfing destination designed to challenge golfers with classic architecture inspired by Charles Blair Macdonald and Seth Raynor. Opened in 2018, the South Course complements the famous Bluffs Course and provides a more strategic play with a nod to historic golf design.

COURSE QUALITY👍: The South Course is meticulously maintained, featuring firm, fast conditions with a unique layout that includes squared greens and geometric bunkers. It has more sand bunkers, fewer trees, and minimal water hazards, making it challenging for golfers to focus on precision and placement. The greens are extremely tough, requiring careful putting to avoid three-putts or more. The overall layout is designed to test golfers’ strategic thinking and shot-making abilities.

SERVICE & HOSPITALITY👍: The staff at the South Course are exceptional, providing professional service from start to finish. The starters, pro shop staff, and restaurant crew are friendly and accommodating, ensuring a great experience for every golfer. During our visit with a group of eight golfers, we found the staff attentive and welcoming, enhancing the overall enjoyment.

AMENITIES👍: The South Course boasts excellent facilities, including a well-equipped clubhouse, full-service restaurant, and pro shop stocked with quality golf merchandise. The practice facilities, which include a driving range and putting greens, are well-maintained, providing a comprehensive warm-up experience before hitting the course.

PACE of PLAY👍: Despite its popularity, the pace of play on the South Course is generally well-managed. Even with a group of eight golfers, we were able to maintain a steady pace throughout the round, allowing for an enjoyable and timely finish.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY👍: Located a mile inland from Lake Michigan, the South Course is easily accessible from the main Arcadia Bluffs resort lodge. The scenic surroundings add to the allure of the course, making it a must-visit destination for golf enthusiasts seeking a beautiful and challenging round.

In summary, the South Course at Arcadia Bluffs offers an exceptional golfing experience with a strategic layout, excellent facilities, and welcoming staff. It’s a perfect choice for those looking to enjoy a blend of historic design and modern golf in a picturesque setting. Highly recommended for those who appreciate the classic elements of golf architecture and challenging greens.”

“Lahey's Pub is a local favorite -- great people serving creative cocktails and the vibe is laid-back and relaxed. Laura, Jamil and the rest of the gang are always welcoming. Grab some pizza or a salad from Portage Point Pizzeria and Cafe' with an ice-cold beer from Lahey's Pub and relax on the porch. Beautiful Portage Lake makes for an amazing view! It doesn't get any better than that.”

“I love this location. The staff is super friendly and they're always super quick. Unfortunately, I tend to avoid it during tourist season because the out-of-towners are really snobby and rude, but this is not the fault of anyone who works at this location.”
