About Arcadia Bluffs G.C.: South

Dana Fry's South course represents a masterful complement to the original Arcadia Bluffs layout, delivering the same jaw-dropping Lake Michigan vistas with a completely different architectural philosophy. While the Bluffs course plays atop the dramatic clifftops, Fry routed the South through rolling inland terrain that feels more like the great links courses of Scotland, with wider fairways and more strategic options off the tee. The conditioning matches the original's impeccable standards, and the clever use of natural elevation changes creates memorable holes without the need for artificial mounding. What sets this course apart is Fry's restraint – he let the natural landscape dictate the design rather than forcing dramatic features. The bunkering feels organic and the green complexes reward precision without punishing slightly offline shots. At a property where the original course commands premium rates for its clifftop theatrics, the South offers similar world-class conditioning and thoughtful design at a more accessible price point, making it one of Michigan's best values for serious golf.
