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.

Lots of Sand

Classic layout - forgiving fairways - not much water but lots and lots of sand. HUGE bunkers both straddling the fairways and surrounding the large, slightly quick greens. 6,070 yards from the whites with a 135 slope makes scoring difficult.

Course is very scenic with a mix of forested and parkland-type holes. Off the beaten path but a worthwhile drive if you enjoy a well-conditioned course that makes you use every club in your bag.

Bedford Valley is always well kept.

We play this course several times a year. We book it on Golf Now. Rate is between $37.50 & $47.50 including GN fees. Normal course price is $75.00. That is more than we would pay. We always play when the deal is available.

We have never been disappointed with the course or the friendly staff.

This is our new 'Home" course!

Great Course!

First time playing; excellent course; excellent facilities. Fairways and greens were top notch. The rough's were pretty dried up and heavily used. Lot's of sand traps! Bob the starter was very friendly and outgoing. Didn't spend much time in the pro shop, but everything looked real nice. Just a small snack shop with drinks. Will golf again!

PACE: Excellent. Was a single, and had a 4some go out 30 minutes before me. I was able to play 2 balls and never catch them, or have anyone catch me.

CONDITIONS: Some dry spots in the fairways/rough, but otherwise excellent. The greens were faster than I anticipated... I was pleasantly surprised by that. Bunkers were good.

STAFF: Very friendly and sociable.

VALUE: I'm already looking forward to paying them another greens fee.

LAYOUT: This feels like an older course (built in 1965) and I love that. The greens are not too tricked up (though they are fast). Very few (if any) blind tee shots. And big bunkers built to splash your ball out of. I like how the course rolls through the terrain too. Lots of fun!
