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.

Beautiful Tree Lined Old Course

The fairways were in excellent condition as well as the tees. The putting surfaces were smooth but disappointingly slow. Playing from the senior tees the course was fair but equally challenging. Enjoyable round of golf.

Course

Two years ago the course was beautiful!!! But this year I am disappointed to me it seems like the course is going backwards that's my opinion the grounds keepers need to put a little more effort to take care of the course

Fun course

Great course. I love the Gull Lake View courses and Bedford Valley is worth trying out.

Since my wife is pregnant and playing - we wish the golf carts were electric. But other than that - had a fun time.

Classic course in great shape

Bedford Valley is a classic golf course with sand traps guarding most greens and along the fairways to catch a slice or hook. The trees are very mature and sometimes create a narrow driving window. Greens were in excellent condition, the ball rolled very true and just fast enough to keep it interesting.

Fall golf with friends

This course is definitely a ‘hidden gem’! Beautiful fairways, tee boxes soft grass and fast greens. Greens very large and bunkers big and tough. Sand in bunkers could be fluffier-courser sand but we’ll groomed. Definitely hope to return next Summer.
