Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club, designed by Warren Henderson and Rick Smith, was founded in 1999 in Arcadia, Michigan. The course is built on the bluffs above the shore of Lake Michigan on approximately 245 acres (99 ha). The course drops 225 feet (69 m) from its highest point down to the bluff, 180 feet (55 m) above lake level and has 3,100 feet (940 m) of lake frontage. The golf course was designed to resemble seaside Irish links, with rolling terrain and windswept natural fescues throughout.

View from the clubhouse of the 10th and 11th holes overlooking Lake Michigan.

In 2018, golf architects Dana Fry and Jason Straka built the club's second course, the South Course, taking inspirations in their design from Charles Blair Macdonald and Seth Raynor.[1][2]
