All Things Michigan Golf....the Mulligan (MOD EDIT: NO POLITICS, NO COVID-19, NO ECONOMICS)

I am biased as a member of BCCC, but I find it much better than the Moors. The final 3 holes at the Moors ruin the course and conditioning has fallen off in recent years with membership declines.

Just stumbled onto Arcadia rates for 2020. All of April is $90. Assuming we try to go late April, does anyone know if it’s still a great experience at that time? It’s a bucket list course for me that if I can still get a solid experience for $90 bucks I would love to do.

They discount the early season rates for a reason up there. It depends on the year, but northern MI courses often aren’t able to open until mid to late April. That early, right on the lake, there’s a very good chance you’ll be playing in some nasty cold/wind. I’m not sure what their cancellation policy is, but if you have some flexibility and can cancel if the weather sucks, it probably doesn’t hurt to play it by ear, and maybe you’ll luck out and find a nice early spring day.

I might be inclined to drive up to the South course at Arcadia in April. Stay off the water.

Thanks for all of the tips on Arcadia. I think we will wait till at least May for the Bluffs and I will look into the South as a possible April alternative. I was much more confident on April play before the weather for this past week came in...

Ever been to http://www.manisteegolfandcc.com/ It's not Manistee National but it's a old course right on the Dunes overlooking Lake Michigan. It's definitely nothing "special" but it's pretty old school in the sense that it's not super long and the tee boxes are tucked up against the greens. It's fairly cheap and you get some awesome views. Great spot for a warm up round that won't break the bank but still have a great time.

So this is happening, which is pretty exciting—only a year to go...

I doubt we'll take caddies. The times I've taken one, I've never felt particularly comfortable. I'll probably look at course tours about 500 times between now and when we go, so I feel like I'll know my way around pretty well

Yeah, I'm definitely planning to walk all 3 rounds. Now I need to become best friends with someone who could get us out to Cypress Point, and it would be the trip of a lifetime! Not that it won't be awesome already, because we're planning to bookend it by spending some time in L.A. beforehand and a few days in Napa/Sonoma afterward.

I've gone to the Genesis at Riviera 4 times (not this year), and I'd kill to get on there (Same with LACC or Bel-Air, etc). Going to the tournament again is part of what we're planning for the L.A. part of the trip. Oakmont would be amazing. I've been fortunate to play at a couple of fancy clubs (Muirfield Village, Conway Farms, Kirtland CC) through contacts at work, but those opportunities don't come up very often, unfortunately.
