Rating Snapshot
About
Gull Lake View Golf Club & Resort is the oldest and largest golf resort in southwest Michigan. It offers five championship courses that draw visitors from throughout the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Canada. Located in Michigan's scenic lake region, all of the courses have a beautiful landscape with scenic views. The Stonehedge South Course is the third out of the five golf courses. Charles Scott, a well known name in the area, designed the course in 1988. The layout plays through rolling, wooded countryside that offers interesting elevation changes throughout. The golf course has a classic layout that calls for a variety of different shots. The greens are quick and gently sloped. Pinpointing a single signature hole is difficult since each one has a unique character and offers a different challenge.

Always in fantastic shape
I love this, and all of the other Gull Lake Resort courses! They top dressed the greens the morning I played it and I could hardly notice. The courses (all 6 of them) are always in immaculate shape! I was first one off after they reopened the course for play and in 3 hours, I was in my way home!
Greens
Challenging greens that rolled true and held. Every green had some level of break.
Great course
The layout was challenging, providing an opportunity to try different shots and clubs (other than driver from par 4 tee). The starter provided great playing tips. Will return again, especially with a great price from GolfNow.
Played both of the Stonehedge courses on the same day. Started on the South and then played the North. The two courses do feel substantially different from one another, with the South being a more vigorous test of golf.
The South course differs from the North mostly in that the trees lined the fairways much tighter and there are more elevation changes to contend with. Water isn’t a factor on the South course, but the trees and hills are enough to ruin your score.
CONDITIONS: The course was in great shape. The greens were fair and consistent… though a bit slow given recent rain. The fairways and tee boxes were in great shape, as were the bunkers.
VALUE: Given the challenge and condition of this course, I think this course is priced appropriately.
LAYOUT: Played the Green tees (6,200). As noted above, this course is tightly tree lined. This is noticeable right away with the dogleg right on #1, and long par 4 of #2. The tee shot on #4 is tough, as anything to the right is going down a steep hill with trees all around. The tee shot on #6 is also tough with a tight tree line to the left. The back 9 adds elevation changes to the challenge.
Took a cart for the round that I played. If this was the only course I was going to play that day, I would have walked.
STAFF: The pro shop was helpful.
PACE: I was the first one out on the course… so pace couldn’t have been any better! That being said, given the difficulty of this course I would guess things could get slow here when the tee sheet is full.
A Very Good Course That Needs Faster Green Speeds
The excellent pace of play for our twosome was less than 3 1/2 hours. The tree lined fairways were wide enough to accept almost all tee shots. No water hazards. Excellent bunker sand. A terrific variety of elevation changes. The yardages on all four of the par 3 holes were within 10 yards of each other. It would be better to have some greater differences in the yardages on the par 3 holes. With faster green speeds, this would be a great golf course.
Tough course
Like the course but the staff could act like they are glad you're there. Not the fiendliest.
AWESOME Course and Staff
Played Stonehenge South and this course was spectacular! Very challenging and the staff was friendly and gave recommendations on how to play the course (I should have listened). When we finished the round we asked if we could get a replay tee time unfortunately there were none available but they did refer us to another one of their Gull Lake courses (Bedford Valley). That course was awesome as well. I highly recommend both course.
Challenging!
Beautiful day on a beautiful course. Up North scenary! Need to keep your driver in the bag for lots of holes. Overall, happy w the decision to play at Stonehedge South. Play it next time your in Battle Creek👍
