Mel and I hit the road to drive North to Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course for a couple of days after the wedding. Arcadia is just south of Frankfort Michigan on the banks of Lake Michigan. They cleared the trees and created a beautiful dune styled golf course.
After we checked in, we took a long walk on Lake Michigan. The water was still freezing and the skies were overcast. We then headed back to the bluffs to have drinks and dinner overlooking the course. They had fantastic food and a great sunset to go along with the meal.
The next day we played 18 holes. It is a beautiful course. The greens are huge and fast. The bunkers are taller than me and the views are spectacular. We both played a great round of golf. That evening we hiked around northern Arcadia and into Frankfort.
One of the highlights of the trip was when we were on hole #3 and the ranger came to tell us to be careful on hole #5 because there was a newly born deer on the course. By the time we got there, the doe and mother were gone. The next morning while having breakfast on the back deck the doe came wandering up to us.
It was a terrific trip!
