About
Situated in southwest Michigan's beautiful lake region, Gull Lake View Golf Club offers five championship courses that are easily accessible from Detroit, Toledo, Chicago, Grand Rapids, and Lansing, making it a favorite for golfers from all over the Midwest and Great Lakes. It is also less than 3 hours from some parts of Canada. Gull Lake View West is the club's original course. The club is the oldest and largest in southwest Michigan and it all started with the West Course. Opened in 1963, the golf course has a traditional layout that offers a challenging but fair test.

The diverse terrain calls for a variety of different shots as well as careful strategy.

Oldie but goody
Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this course . This is our third GLV course after both Stonehedges. Lots of character using hills and lay of land. Been very dry in GR Rapids but lush here, I can see the low south end holes being wet after lots of rain. Very nice conditions and lots of workforce and attention to detail. Tree trimming, several COLD igloos water jugs which is not common. With TeeOff wife and I paid $58 total on Tuesday 9/16/25. Very friendly guys. We ate over at Stoaten Brae blue stem.
Will try east next but west was great.
Rangers are excellent!
Beautiful course! Just enough challenge but not frustrating. Layout is great easy to follow and gives you many opportunities for layups. I didn't get the older gentleman's name but he was the most pleasant ranger I have ever encountered! No lie! He was very patient and relaxed smiley just an all-around good guy. Trust me I've been in some courses where the rangers want to just rush you through the course and they yell at you for pace of play this ranger and course seem to spread out people just perfectly. I hate being rushed and have stopped going to some locations because it seems like the ranger has me on binoculars the whole entire time. You can tell that they really care about leaving you alone and letting you enjoy your golf! We didn't have anything at the term besides a bathroom break but at the end we went in the clubhouse and got chicken tacos and a drink. Amazing food and cute pleasant waitress! Prices were very reasonable and we got our food pretty quick after one beer. My only complaint would be they need to start knowing the lawn 2 hours earlier in the day. Before the turn the rough was pretty tall. When the mowers caught up it was a perfectly landscaped course. Mowers were respectful and pulled off and shut off machine to let us golf through. I am just so shocked at how pleasant, respectful and could tell everyone was simply happy to be there! As glowing as this review is I just want to say that I don't work for them or anything, this is my first and won't be my last. Highly recommended and I'm so glad that I just moved closer to this course!
Beautiful day at Gull Lake Resort - West Course
The staff and golf amenities are excellent. The course was in great condition for mid-October. Very challenging course with fast undulating greens. The bunkers were in very good condition and consistent to hit out of.
