This course far exceeds expectations overall. We were maybe a few minutes late for our tee time and…read morethe response was slightly more abrasive than necessary for "up-north" golf. However, once that was smoothed out our group really enjoyed the round. There are many great views, an open layout, several elevated tees, and well maintained greens. It is the right amount of challenging without being frustrating. The ranger was diligent in trying to maintain some space between groups. Also, a nice set up for food and drinks with friendly staff and even picked up a nice new polo from the pro shop.

The course was beautiful and the staff were also very kind. After our morning of golfing we stumbled inside for some lunch. We had an amazing waitress, who seemed to be a college student. She was very well put together, confident, and orderly. She also smelled like Chanel. Our lunch was amazing and I made sure to leave her an epic tip! Thank you Forrest Dunes! -Debbie

These courses are not top 100 in the country. Must've paid to be on that list. Weekend hacks might…read morethink the courses are great but true golfer would know. Dunes course is just a typical resort style layout. A few good holes but other than that nothing special. Dunes Course - tee boxes, fairways and greens were in good shape.The Loop is a total dump. Total goat ranch. Only thing good about it is the architecture of playing it backwards but that's it. Both courses are overly priced. Any normal sized city these courses are $50 TOPS!! Gnats all over the loop makes golfing unbearable. Divots all over the course and dead spots. You better pray your drive in the fairway finds a piece of grass. They don't offer water on the course and don't even give you a .25cent bottle of water before the round. You have to purchase a $4 bottle. Rocks in all traps on both courses. I suggest cheating and pulling your ball out of the bunkers so you don't ruin your clubs. For the price they charge you would think the traps would be rockless. No one rakes the traps and even maintenance does rack the bunkers before first tee off. Over hyped and over priced. Staff weren't friendly at all. Starter said " people go to Arcadia for the views and here for the golf" Guy must get paid every time he says that. Go to Arcadia for a better experience. Course, lodging, food, staff and price are way better at Arcadia.

It has that up north feel you expect of nicer resort courses and fantastic staff. The course is very well maintained. The front and back play like totally different courses (rolling meadows vs heavy forest). The clubhouse has a nice intimate feel and they offer cooler bags at no extra cost. Highly recommend!
