Forest Dunes Golf Club
in the middle
of the lower peninsula of northern
Michigan near Roscommon already
boasted a world-class Tom Weiskopf
designed golf course and first-class
clubhouse and lodging. Owner Lew
Thompson wanted to add a second
course to the property that would add
the WOW factor.
He turned to Michigan native, Tom
Doak to design and build the first
reversible course in North America.
Doak brought his expertise of studying
the old courses in Scotland to the table
and created a masterpiece.
With theWeiskopf 18-hole course, plus
the new course that is really, 36 holes,
golfers have 54 holes from which to
choose at Forest Dunes.
Arcadia Bluffs,
on Lake Michigan’s
eastern coast, has long been recognized
for its beauty and difficulty. Golfers
have made a pilgrimage to trek the
rolling fairways and ogle the visions of
Lake Michigan stretching far into the
horizon.
New lodging has been added and they
just announced that a second course
would be built by Dana Fry to make
Arcadia Bluffs a true golf destination.
If you are looking for the best golf
has to offer and are not interested in
entertainment outside of the golf itself,
then you can do no better than these
golf-only resorts.
