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 natural terrain takes center stage on this course. The layout plays across grassy meadows, rolling hills, and valleys and there are also a few densely wooded holes. The diverse terrain calls for a variety of different shots as well as careful strategy.

10, 11, & 12 were a challenge but fun

Grounds were in great condition. Loved the starter/ranger - he gave good tips for playing the course.

How to grow the game of golf!

If more courses were run like this one, the game of golf would grow like wild fire! Wes, Don, Brad, and frankly everyone we encountered - the other starter, the rangers, the restaurant and bar staff - everyone - was friendly, fun, and good spirited! What I'd pay to experience this kind of reception and kindness at every course I played... It recalls the concept captured in the book: "Everything I Ever Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten." The clubhouse, built some time ago, seemed dated when we arrived; but looking out at the course and it's conditions made it clear that this was an operation that's had years of experience in how to get it right! The inside showed no such 'datedness', and the pro shop was top notch. Drinks were poured right, the rest rooms were clean, the carts were in good shape and clean (with 2 scorecards each - it's the big things AND the little things that make a difference)! The pace of play was great, and while I'm a 7, my playing partner and best friend is just better than 'beginner', and said he'd never felt so comfortable or had as much fun playing as he did yesterday. He even talked about buying new irons and getting back to playing the game again! I perceive the staff's kind ways were cause for even the other golfers we encountered to be more amicable, friendly, and happy. Or maybe it was simply the smiles we couldn't wipe off our faces! I cannot say enough good things about this place. This is the first review I think I've ever written - the positive experience demanded it! Thank you, to all the staff there at Gull Lake View! Your kind efforts and hospitality are appreciated!

A course of two halves

First time playing this particular Gull Lake course and what a treat.
The service was impeccable as was the course.
First nine is hilly and the second nine is a challenge.
Loved the layout and thoroughly enjoyed my day.
Highly recommended.

Good for all players

Course was in great shape. Moved a little slow because it was a nice Sunday afternoon and was pretty busy. There was a beverage cart so it was nice to get a cold drink every few holes

Enjoyable course; Gull Lake View West

Gull Lake a View courses always in excellent shape. Fairways were tight, greens were well manicured but a bit slow. Speed of play made it very enjoyable. As seniors we played the white tees and it was challenging but doable. Will play it again!

One of Kalamazoo's finest

Golfnow allows people to play nice courses for great prices. Gull Lake View is a very nice course, the staff and bar area are great. The greens are very hard and the course is very challenging. Overall a great course.

Gull lake view

Great course for the money. The morning I went it was wet outside, and I haven't played many courses that were in better condition considering the rain. Gull lake views staff does an excellent job tending the course. Would recommend to anyone.

extremely friendly staff and great course

Have played at Gull Lake View many times over the years, but this is the firsat time I've played the West course. Considering the time of year and recent cold & snow, this course (& the greens) were in very nice condition. Can't wait to come back and play when there are leaves on the trees.

Played 18 with my wife and she liked the coures as well. Not terribly long, but lots of evelation changes and fairways that moved left to right and right to left. Will definitely play again in the near future. Great staff and really made us feel welcome!

Nice course, slow play.

The course is a nice combination of hills, woods, and water. Yet it is fair and also very well maintained. I would not recommend playing on Saturday afternoons as the course seems to cater to resort guests who appeared to be drunk, loud, and slow. Otherwise highly recommended.

Great course. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition.

We really enjoyed playing this course. There are a lot of mature trees and some water, but we never seemed to get into trouble with them. Beautifully maintained fairways and greens. We had to drive a little to get to the course but it was well worth the drive and the money to play. I would definitely recommend this course.
