Please let me know if you change your mind. I'll also be frequenting Hemlock if you'd rather meet up there some time (though I'm not sure if that adds or subtracts to your commute)
No clue where any of that is. I know there's a jack nicklaus course next to where we're staying
Looks like a fun course. It's only about an hour away, so no problem. If you're ok playing with a high capper, I'm up for it.

Something Shores, I'm honestly not sure. My mother in law is taking care of it all.
It is the 12th hole. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Sadly I don't know how to resize photos using my Mac.
Harbor shores?No clue where any of that is. I know there's a jack nicklaus course next to where we're staying

Harbor shores is close to my folks. I'll at there any time. It's a great courseNo clue where any of that is. I know there's a jack nicklaus course next to where we're staying
Tried that. It went from a decent size to almost a thumbnail. I've owned a Mac for 10 years, and never really learned how to use anything other than Safari, Mail and iTunes. I'll do them with my PC as I know how to and it's quick. I've got a lot to post, so I'll spend some time tomorrow on my day off getting everything ready.
I was checking that course out last night. Nice looking course. Shame our trip to Mt. Pleasant that was supposed to start on Monday got pushed back to September. Starting to salivate for MI golf - I hope they open the border soon!
Obviously it depends on how much of an "experience" you are looking for, but when we played it last year the lodging rate pretty much chewed up the equivalent of two greens fees. While it would be a cool experience with the right group I'm sure, for us splitting a hotel room and getting another round of golf for less than the cost of one night @ Arcadia was the sensible choice. Having been to the course, the lodging option looks really sweet. You're above the clubhouse, you can walk down in the morning for breakfast, your clubs will be on your cart and after you play 36 and kill some time at the bar it's only a few steps to your room. Yeah, I can see the attractiveness in that.
Are there any other courses with paying that area? Will you be around there at the end of July? I'll definitely be playing the JN course a time or two while we're there.
It's not exactly "next door" to another course if you were thinking of playing 36 although the South Course gives you that option. If you're looking at a 2 hour radius, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting another course. You could easily make a 4 or 5 day trip out of it
I've played there many times. Usually just drive up for the day, play, drink, drive home.

Not to mention the view of the sunset from the back deck overlooking the course
Is that Arcadia Bluffs or Harbor Shores? Sorry I brought in the crosstalk about a different course
It okay, I kinda hijacked the thread myself LOL. I was referring to Arcadia - the addition of the South course gave them the option of becoming a legitimate golf destination. Very similar to what Forest Dunes did with the Loop. The courses are located where they are to take advantage of the topography, which results in them being not really close to anything else, so a second eighteen holes is almost a necessity to make it viable. Plus, it's a win-win for us hackersIs that Arcadia Bluffs or Harbor Shores? Sorry I brought in the crosstalk about a different course
Not to mention the bag piper that plays at dusk. Adds a great feel to sitting around the 18th green watching other groups finish up.Obviously it depends on how much of an "experience" you are looking for, but when we played it last year the lodging rate pretty much chewed up the equivalent of two greens fees.

If you're there the last week of July and want to watch someone hit 3 balls off the tee into the woods/water, LMK! I can almost guarantee I'll make you feel better about your golf game.
I'm going to play it while I'm there if the weather cooperates.
I should be there. I'll keep you posted.If you're there the last week of July and want to watch someone hit 3 balls off the tee into the woods/water, LMK! I can almost guarantee I'll make you feel better about your golf game.
