Northern Michigan's Top Golf Courses
Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club
One of the top-ranked public courses in the country, perched on the bluffs above Lake Michigan in Arcadia. Golfers fly in from across the world for this course — and most of them don't realize there's no transportation until they land. We're the answer to that problem. Book early; we fill up around Arcadia Bluffs faster than anywhere else.
Kingsley Club
An exclusive private clubs in Michigan, located just outside Traverse City. Refined, quiet, and exactly the kind of course where showing up in a well-run private shuttle fits the vibe perfectly.
Crystal Downs Country Club
A top-10 ranked course in the entire country, right in Frankfort. Private, exclusive, and notoriously difficult to get a tee time — which means the golfers who make it here are serious. We treat that round with the same respect. Zero competition on this keyword; if you're searching for Crystal Downs transportation, you've found the only option.
Forest Dunes Golf Course
A nationally ranked reversible course in Roscommon — one of the most unique designs in the world. Forest Dunes has Lakeshore Shuttle listed as a preferred transportation vendor on their website, which says everything you need to know about the relationship.
Crystal Mountain Resort
A full golf resort in Thompsonville with 36 holes, lodging, and groups that plan multi-day trips well in advance. Resort guests often need airport pickups, inter-resort transfers, and course shuttles across multiple days — exactly what we're set up to handle.
Golf Season Fills Up. So Do We.
We intentionally keep our fleet small — it allows us to provide a more personal experience and consistently reliable service. But it also means availability becomes limited quickly, especially during Northern Michigan’s peak golf season from May through October.
The groups that secure transportation early are the ones who avoid scrambling a few weeks before the trip. If you already have tee times booked at Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Mountain or Forest Dunes, now is the time to reach out and lock in your transportation plans.
