Bedford Valley Course at Gull Lake View Golf Club and Resort
Rating Snapshot
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.

Good course
Course was very nice. It rained the day of golf but was still playable. I will go ahain
Very playable course for all.
Best course I played in my area. It has something for every player, if your long back tees will challenge you and for the ladies this course will keep you in the game against your husband. ( don't know if I liked that). Overall a MUST play if you can.

Great course -Beautiful scenery-Greens great-
Beautiful course-great setting!
Bedford Valley has an old fashioned layout with many tree lined fairways. The fairways are generous and in excellent shape. The greens were putting true but a bit slow. Playing from the gold senior tees made play more enjoyable because this is one of the longer courses in the area! All in all a very beautiful course with many challenges and a fair test of golf.
Great course!
Great course for the money.
Big greens and fast
Best public course in the county. Very challenging fast greens long track.
Challenging
This is probably the most difficult of all the Gull Lake courses. Stay out of the rough. Great day!
Another "Great Scott" course !
Bedford Valley is another great course for all skill levels. Well manicured, beautiful, and good layout. It's in our weekly rotation cause we love playing there. Food is delicious, staff is wonderful, and very accommodating. Put Bedford Valley on your list.
Excellence!
I've played just about every course in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek area this year and Bedford Valley was the best value of this year! I am a member at another course in the area that has highly touted greens.... Bedford Valley's were better. In fact, they were the nicest greens I've played on this year! The rest of the course was simply stellar. The staff was great, the course was great, play moved at a good, quick pace and I had a wonderful time... until I added up my score. Which speaks highly for BV's challenging nature. And speaking of nature, the course is beautiful. The ol' girl might be a bit of a drive, but she is the forgotten jewel in the Scott's family crown! Hats off to the staff and crew who work there! Thank you for the attention to detail. Mowed roughs, manicured sand in the traps, plush fairways, and excellent greens.... It doesn't get any better than this! Thanks Bedford Valley!
try another course
weather was very cool and windy but course was excellent.
Great condition
Beautiful course. I have played it for years. Course set-up is challenging but fair. Place of play is the best the area.
Moderately Challenging
Course was in great shape, friendly staff that pays attention to pace of play. Greens are slow, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Some pin placements left for some winding, challenging putts
Excellent value
An "old style" course with "what you see is what you get" holes. No tricks, but a series of interesting and varied holes. Lots of trees, but not much thick rough, so finding wayward balls is easy. The greens were in great condition. Easily one of the best golf values in mid-Michigan if you are looking for a quality course.
Championship Track, Value Priced
North of Battle Creek, about 30 minutes from I-94, Bedford Valley is a local gem well worth the visit. Picturesque from start to finish, the course will provide a fun challenge for all golfers. Tricky greens, some water and green-side bunkers make you want to think before you swing!
The facilities are excellent. My only suggestion for improvement is more food offerings. Will definitely play again.
Recommend!

great value
Big greens, true reads- stay below the hole. Nice mature trees, a bit tighter on the back. Most greens are a bit elevated requiring a bit more club. No gimmicks.

Always a nice experience.
Beautiful conditions and had a fun round with a couple of friends.
Like all the GLV courses.
Easy to use the LM Tee Time website.
Could've stood to have the food cart girls out there, but otherwise all was fine.
Nice day!
