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

One of Area's Best
Big course, big greens, big value. Course is challenging for women, but fair. Greens in great shape and roll true. Price great value for such a beautiful course. Course was busy but pace of play smooth.
A Wonderful fair challenge for all skill levels!!
What a gem in Calhoun county, Southwest Lower Michigan. Offers a very fair challenge for golfers of all skill levels with a tee set to fit everyone’s desire. Great pro shop and driving range. As well as full service Bar with food as well. Don’t miss out on this one!!
Have fun
I had a good time. The food was high priced. $10.50 for hot and Water. The course was in good shape.
Nice Track
Very enjoyable course that’s fair but challenging, will definitely be back.. Extra friendly staff.
Where’s the ranger
The course is beautiful , towering oak trees and sand traps guarding every green and the sand is top notch. I was in several!! My only criticism is pace of play. Front nine - 1hour 50 minutes, back nine - 2 hours 30 minutes!! A ranger on the course would have really been nice. However, it going to be even slower for the groups behind us, As we were putting on 18 there’s was 8 teeing off on #16!!!
A good day for golf
Great golf course in great condition other than a few leaves and twigs left from previous nights thunderstorms.
Multiple tee boxes for all levels of play.
Played 18 in well under 4 hrs. On a Saturday.
If the course was not more than an hours drive I would return frequently.
Course Conditions
This is a good, interesting layout that has a set of tees for players of all skill levels. The course's greens were not the fastest but were perfectly maintained. On several holes, the fairways had become burnt out and patchy, but if you didn't mind rolling the ball it wasn't much of a problem. The mature trees lining each hole provided a pretty frame for each hole and directed the way you were supposed to move the ball off each tee. The $65 weekend rate seemed about right, and if I lived in the area it would be my rotation of courses to play. Would play again if in the area.
Decent track.
Most fairways where in good shape. A couple had dead spots and every hole had hard rough and dead grass up and down the holes, throughout the track. Greens where in great shape. Tee areas where in great shape as well.
Pace wasn’t horrible. Could of been better.
Great Course
Paid $53 for it. Great price. Pace was good and conditions were good too. Decently challenging but pretty easy to find your back if you missed a fairway.
I'll Be Back
Have a family vacation cottage on the other side of Kalamazoo, so this is an hour drive and hadn't taken a ride until now. It's worth the trip. Mid-week, played alone as a single on a hot day, finishing in well under 3 hours. Course conditions were great, despite the recent heat. Elevation changes from tees to greens, Big beautiful trees. Many big sloped greens with large bunkers, but a fair share of small ones too. From the Green tees (6500+), the par 5's aren't long, but the par 3's make up for it. Fair and fun.
Great course friendly staff nice pace of play will be back for more rounds..
