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!

Sandy

Very playable course but be prepared for a lot of sand traps. Probably, the easiest of the Gull Lake View courses. Staff very courteous and helpful

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
