Golf Facilities

18 hole course, par 71, designed by Seth Raynor

Ranked 47th on Golf.com's most recent Top 100 list, Shoreacres is a true gem. Not much has changed with the course over its 100 plus year history which makes for a fascinating study in golf course architecture. Seth Raynor used many of his signature template hole designs which play out through picturesque landscape next to Lake Michigan.
