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.

A Playable Challenge
Bedford Valley is a terrific course for the $. Drives in play even if little wayward and birdie opportunities abound. Back nine little tighter and sand in play a lot.
Loved the course.
Beautiful oaks
This course is worth the play. A little pricey without the Golfnow discount that I booked. The oak trees are mammoth. Generous fairways and giant greens. Had a great round. Will definitely play again.
Jerk in pro shop
I booked a round of golf for Sunday, So I thought... but ended up being Monday. My fault completely but people make mistakes. The girl in The pro shop was super nice and was very accommodating. She said no worries we can get you off after the group of member’s teed off. So we paid went to go get our clubs and golf shoes. Drive over to putting green guy with a attitude comes out and says I’ve got to refund your money! My buddy and I are like excuse me? He says your tee time was for tomorrow and I can’t give you that price you can pay double though... when on GN a hour later it was even cheaper than what we just paid. Then the guy short changes us and acted like we were ripping him off for being a dummy who has to count down a drawer cause you didn’t give back the right refund. I’m super disappointed with Bedford Valley for hiring a guy who has NO Customer service what so ever! I run a business myself and if I got treated the way I did Sunday morning I wouldn’t have a job or any customers. Good luck Bedford Vally the guy with the beard in the pro shop will be the death of the golf course. We golfed
there half a dozen times last year. Won’t ever go back again! Then to top it off GN charges me $13 for the tee time! I’m gonna need that money back! Save your money folks not worth getting treated like
Crap from the guy who’s mad at the world!
Very nice layout
Really enjoyed the course. A nice layout, good conditions and great pace of play. A long course from the back tees but there are plenty of shorter tees to play as well.
One of my favorite local courses.
Bedford Valley is a pristine course, providing plenty of challenge. BV is one of my favorite Calhoun County courses!
A long drive, but worth it!
Had not played this course in 15 years and what a treat! Beautiful and well laid out, this course is challenging but playable for all levels with many trees to choose from.
Great course
Beautiful course! Well laid out with lots of big beautiful trees!
Jewel in the Boonies
Played golf in the area for 47 years and never played Bedford Valley until yesterday. Old style layout with gentle hills. Course was immaculate even though it is nearing the end of the season. Perfect day, fast round,, didn't catch the foursome in front of us until the 17th hole. My only regret is that it is not closer to my home! Played the 18 holes in about 3 hours 15 minutes.
Great start to Michigan Golf trip
We really enjoyed playing this course on our way up north. Course was in great shape. It provides a challenge, but doesn’t over do it. The course was beautiful. It has large greens, so you have to be on point with your lag putting. We hope to play here again in the future.
Beautiful Day
Always love playing Bedford Valley great Course. Bathrooms on course could use a cleaning and two ball washers were without water. Course in great shape
A Michigan Gem
If you like the old style country club courses this is a must play. Thick forest all around the course. Really incredible track, in my opinion. Great conditions, nice tees and firm greens. Great holes and a challenging course. Pace of Play was excellent - since I was the only person out on the course - see photo. Hard to believe that no one else was playing that day. Definitely give this track a try if you are in town, you won't be disappointed.
I will definitely be back
Great Course!
Great course that is well maintained while being out in the middle of nowhere. Will definitely be back to play again.
