Arcadia Bluffs is 10 miles north of Manistee on the Lake Michigan shoreline with two 18 hole golf courses.

From the onset it's apparent the Bluffs isn’t usual golf in Northern Michigan with land forms and setting are reminiscent of Ireland or Scotland as the golf course climbs over a 245 acres tract of rolling terrain along 3,100 feet of Lake Michigan shoreline. There's 50 sod-walled sand bunkers along the broad fairways bordered by native tall grasses leading to massive green complexes. It features substantial elevation change throughout with each hole unique and isolated on land that was barely touched in the design. The course was designed by Warren Henderson and Rick Smith and plays to 7,300 yards from the tips, 75.4/147, course/slope ratings with three shorter tees.

The South Course is over an equally large, 311 acre tract of land located one mile south of the Bluffs with two distinct nine hole loops constantly changing direction. It's a mostly treeless landscape and open to the constant wind off the Lake. It features rectangular tees with 90-degree corners, broad, firm and fast fairways, flat bottomed traps with steep faces, and massive, edged green complexes. There's five sets of tees from 5,261 yards to 7,412 yards at the tips, designed by Dan Fry.
