All numbers are estimates. Green fees use each course's peak published rate (or price band where fees aren't published). Lodging uses a researched median nightly rate for this market scaled to your tier selection, split across 2-to-a-room. Food (~$100/day) and transit (~$50/day, rental car split) are rough per-person averages — your destination and group size will move the real number in either direction. Flights depend on your home airport and aren't included. Fly into TVC — Traverse City.
The 3-round Forest Dunes & Arcadia Bluffs plan covers The Loop at Forest Dunes, Forest Dunes Golf Club, and Arcadia Bluffs: The South Course, plus 3 nights of $$$ premium lodging, peak-season green fees, and a flat per-day food + ground-transit allowance. Flights aren't included because they depend on your home airport. Adjust the tier or round count above to see how each input changes the bottom line.
The best months to plan a 3-round Forest Dunes & Arcadia Bluffs trip are Jun, Jul, Aug. Those windows balance the strongest playability scores against the lowest peak-season rate stacking. Book at the front edge of the window for lower greens fees, or the back edge for better odds on shoulder-season lodging. Avoid the months on either side of peak unless you're flexible on tee-time inventory.
