About
Gull Lake View Golf Club and Resort boasts five championship courses, all of which have scenery provided by southwest Michigan's beautiful lake region. The golf course has a convenient location that is easily accessible from Detroit, Toledo, Chicago, Grand Rapids, and Lansing. It is a favorite spot for golfers throughout the Midwest and Great Lakes. Bedford Valley might be the most well known of the five since it has hosted numerous events over the years including the Michigan Open, Michigan Maxfli PGA Junior Championship, and the NCAA III National Championship. The golf course is known locally as "The Big Course." The aptly chosen nickname originates from the layout's massive greens bordered by large, deep bunkers and the fairways that are lined with towering, mature oaks. Golfers appreciate the course's shot values and the challenging but fair test it offers.

Pace of play was horrible. Maybe it's because the grass was so long it was really difficult to find your ball. Playing from the rough was extra rough but so was greenside. Horrible.
Bedford Valley
Course was in great condition, Rough was long which added to the challenge. Some players were not fixing their landing spots on the greens, thus we sometimes had to spend additional time repairing ball marks on the green so that our putts would roll smoothly. Other than that the course was challenging and in good condition.
Solid course
Tee to green doesn’t disappoint. Small improvements could make this course a true gem.
Terrible golf experience
We made a special trip to play this course as it is a nice track! We had two to three groups on every tee and completed 6 holes in 2 hours???? And they had a ranger? They shove as many players as they can on the course with 9 minute tee times, gong show!
I asked the manager for a rain check for 9 holes for my group. He was absolutely useless and did not care what’ so ever. We booked through an app and he didn’t like that and was down right mean in his demeanor. The worst example of service I have witnessed in a long time. He admitted he could give me a rain check but wouldn’t because we booked through the app and there was nothing he could do? He said, go get your refund from the app. All I wanted was a rain check for 9 holes and he wouldn’t. He was happier losing me, my three adult boys for a lifetime. I will not play any of the Scott family courses as a result of this managers conduct. Plus for a resort to allow 6 hour rounds is an embarrassment.
I would not recommend ever playing any of these courses as all they care about is jamming the courses. I heard from another group that every time they come it’s slow play.
Beautiful older course
Played it 20 years ago and it still has maintained its beauty. Definitely worth the drive. Only negative was pace of play. 4 1/2 hour round when everyone is riding is too slow.
Old style course
Nice track - Old school course where tees and greens are close. Playing conditions were vey good.
