Stoatin Brae at Gull Lake View Golf Club and Resort

There is nothing to be afraid of on this course for the mid to lower handicapper, greens were in good shape I think the rollers are not out because of end of season so a little bounce here and there. Course management is very important but easy to figure out. This is always a fun play!

The temps were a little warmer than the Lakeshore, so I played here. Just another fine example of the great course selection we have in Michigan

The course opened up after being closed for the season. They had to open because of unusually warm weather. Course was firm and greens were slow and this was to expected. The greens hadn’t been mowed in a while but still rolled fine. Great layout and the course gets really fun from 9 on thru finish. Always enjoy the links style gem

I found this course to be very playable. There is plenty of trouble but workable, I'm an 8 handicap and got that way by focusing on course management. This course does require good management, also course knowledge is very helpful since few holes are somewhat blind. This was very late fall play for Michigan and the greens were in exceptional shape as was the rest of the course. The greens were firm and reasonably fast for this time of year. This course is a GEM, especially for the money

Course has extremely wide fairways and big fast greens. Greens are the best thing about the course. Driving range was in the worst shape of any I've played this year.

Course needs more tee boxes at various lengths. I’m 65 years old Some tee boxes were 100 yards apart or more. 311 yards is to close for a par 4 and 411 yards is to far for my age group. Need more play ability with tee boxes in the middle of 300 to 400 yards.

Most greens were large and very nice but the pin placements were horrible.

The price of $49 was fair but I would never pay any more than that for this course.

Truly a magnificent Golf Course. Not a difficult golf course from tee to green. However, the green complexes of this golf course are outstanding and will result as a challenge to every level of player. Plenty of motion throughout the layout. Really good greens.

The best links course I ever played. Course was in perfect condition. It took me some getting used to the style (48 on the front and 36 on the back - tale of two nines for me). I thought that the fairways were more generous than what I saw in some previous reviews. However, the greens are pretty difficult and speedy. I could not stick it close to the pin on the front, then took one club less and ran the ball towards the hole on the back. Missing in the correct location is a must. Layout was awesome, will definitely try to play here again!

Very open, traditional style links layout. Incredible views looking down on the surrounding area away from the course. Very tough, yet very fair. Can’t wait to go back!

The course was in great shape and well maintained. It was a nice test of golf. It was playable but still challenging. I would recommend giving it a try.

I personally feel that the course is over priced because it’s not very well maintained. The par 3 tee boxes were chewed up, with no maintenance on the turf. Playing surface outside the fairways are very hard and full of weeds. The Driving range is pathetic tees are the smallest I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

The marketing and advertising is misleading.

It’s not possible for this course to be rated as top 5 in Michigan !!!!.

Feels like Pinehrurst #2. Greens are challenging.. need to play like in Scotland.. run up the ball else difficult to hold the green.. 4 putted the first hole and then realized the difficultly..

fair course..
