Review of Arcadia Bluffs

Just played Arcadia Bluffs yesterday, and all I ca...

Just played Arcadia Bluffs yesterday, and all I can say is wow. A buddy and I drove 14 hours round trip just to play here. First off is the entrance. Coming up the driveway seeing the club house sitting on the top of the hill is pretty neat. Once you make it to the top of the hill, you have the best view in the Midwest in my opinion. Seeing the rolling hills of the course against the backdrop of Lake Michigan is priceless. Now on to the actual course.

This course is HARD. I am a pretty decent player (low single digit handicap) and this place tore me up. The undulation on the greens is the most I have ever seen and the greens are faster than most tour courses, but they bite which is good. Definitely the nicest course I have ever played, but also the hardest (I've played Firestone South two days after the Bridgestone Invitational). It is a true links style course. I will be back for sure. Would be a great course for a US Open but due to the extreme hills and fescue, I don't believe it would work. Regardless, make sure you check this course off of your bucket list
