PLAY THE YELLOWS. My home course. I see too many first timers playing the black pins. YELLOW pins is the standard layout. 18 or 24 (new hole A added in to make it 24 holes again) Don't be suckered into thinking you need to play the long pins. YELLOW is the original layout, black pins were added in later and were made longer where there is space. If there was no room for a long position, the pins were made a bit shorter by necessity. That is why the main layouts are not short and long. YELLOW is how the course was meant to play. As a local I never play the black pins unless we are playing them for league (Tuesdays April thru August). Yes signage is not great. Here's a few tips: *PLAY THE YELLOWS. *After hole 2, cross the path and head toward the wooden fence to find hole 3, which plays up the hill to the right (when playing YELLOWS, which you should be doing). *There is a new Hole A which may not be listed yet. Go straight past hole 2 toward the path and the tee is on the right. For reference the basket is behind hole 2 tee near the pavilion. *3 alt holes after hole 15. Instead of going to the left for 16's tee, go right and follow path to hole B. You will make a 3 hole loop and come right back to hole 16. *PLAY THE YELLOWS. *2 alt holes after 18. After tapping in your sick birdie on 18, head left down the gravel path to find hole E. After that sweet putt you just made from behind the dilapidated teepee, head right (Away from the woods) and toward hole 14's tee. For reference, it is the elevated basket up on the hill near hole 1. *Baskets also have small 3D printed arrows pointing toward the next tee. And as of recently have yellow or black tape on the poles. *Again PLAY THE YELLOWS. Better course, more fun. It's what Shore Acres is meant to be, don't be a tough guy who always needs to play the longs lol

Will 100% play this course again. With new baskets it’s a 5/5 without new baskets it’s still extremely good. Cannot wait to play again.
@bobwilliams1
Great course with some good forced forehand shots. Worth the stop.
@hardbread
Some hole layouts confusing but it’s only my first time. Great course!
@jahonlee
Impressed.
@danfrediani
Yellow is generally longer on the front and black is longer on the back. The front is very wooded, the back opens up a bit.
@discrabbit
Fun design with high replay value
@benjibaggins
One of the best courses I’ve played, and now I’m a local so I get to play it even more. There are wooded shots, open shots, short holes, long holes, 2 baskets on every hole, it’s well up kept, and a joy to play. If you can, play around sunset - they are beautiful here. Plus, you’re a short hike from Lake Michigan!
@coacht
Great course. Multiple baskets is confusing. I’m sure that gets better each time you play.
@christiandean
One of the best courses in West Mi. Signage/mapping isn’t great, but THATS WHAT UDISC IS FOR. Tee signs give an idea which direction to throw toward depending on which baskets your playing to. Plenty of shot variety, beautiful property, good teepads, and lots of elevation change. I recommend playing the Black Basket 24 layout so you get the two par 4’s and the fun extra 6 holes. Highly recommend playing this if you’re in the area.
@heminger
The two baskets per hole were confusing as a first timer, however seeing Michigan's only cactus in bloom more than made up for it. Beautiful course with a very good layout.
@kiloturkey
Awesome course. Too bad they couldn’t use more of the major dunes closer to the lake
@baxter
Great variety of shots, very well maintained and laid out with directions and paths. Excellent balance of woods and wide open
@bkfitz3
Great course with a huge amount of shot shaping. 24 holes with original 18 having two baskets. Well maintaned.
@daviddevroyjr
Lake Michigan dunes are One of the most beautiful areas in the world and this course is a part of that. Excellent course and a park worth exploring.
