I'm an avid golfer and have been lucky enough to play at some of the top courses in the US, Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass, Kohler WI, Innisbrook to name a few. Arcadia Bluffs was absolutely stunning and a very hard golf course. We played from the Blue at 6950, I'm 54 and my index is 3.2. I couldn't break 90 unless I play a few more times. We did NOT have a caddie which would have helped but the bottom line is the shots you have to hit here!!! you better be on your A game. Greens were very tough, somewhat grainy with alot of sand on them, quick as well. Fairways in excellent shape, stay away from the bunkers and the fesque, both are nightmares. Some of the views are unbelievable, we played in the rain all day until the 18 fairway and the sun came out. Bottom line, if you get the chance to play this course, do it. I will however warn you, the service at this course was not top-notch by any means whether it was in the restaurant or on the course, service was sub par all around for the money, basically got muni service for 190 a round. The course gets a solid 5 and for the lack of service my overall is 4. Play it if you can.
