Arcadia Bluffs (Bluffs)

What Whistling Straits is to Wisconsin, Arcadia Bluffs is to the Wolverine state: an artful feat of engineering, along the shores of Lake Michigan. From a commanding panoramic atop the bluffs, the course swoops down and along the water through some 200 feet of elevation change, its ample fairways flanked by rambunctious mounding and sod-wall bunkers. Greens are large, and the landscape itself, though manufactured, feels natural in its movement. Thanks to recent rerouting of several holes, each nine now returns to the clubhouse, with dramatic highlights spread more evenly throughout the round. Max fee: $220 (Photo: Courtesy)
