Gull Lake View Golf Resort

Course was in great shape! Never have played a course like it - it is different than other links courses.

Undulations on the greens are challenging.

Only complaint is the employee in the halfway house was rude.

This is one of the best courses in the area. I love playing here. It is always in great shape.

I'd heard a lot about Stoatin Brae over the last few years so I was excited to play it as part of our golf package with Gull Lake View golf resort. (There is an upcharge to play it, however.)

To begin with, the view from on top of the course is terrific as it is located on one of the highest places in that part of Michigan. The course would be considered a "links-light" architecture with huge greens, lots of bunkering, fescue bordering, and few trees.

The greens took some getting used to because of their hard, but slow features. They seemed to be on the grainy side which affected putts as they slowed. The layout is fine and the course was in outstanding condition overall. The flatter front 9 is a little more non-descript than the rolling (and more challenging) back 9. There are a number of tee boxes to choose from. The gravel/rock cart paths are ok, but I'm assuming that they will be paved at some point. The staff was pleasant and accommodating - especially since we were running a little late after a flat tire. There is a great halfway house with an interesting setting. We played the course again - 2 days later - and enjoyed it much more. We knew where we were going, knew what to expect on the greens, and could appreciate the routing better.

I guess I was a little let down by Stoatin Brae because I had heard so much build-up about it. Don't get me wrong, Stoatin Brae is a solid course and I would certainly play it again as part of a Gull Lake package, but I wouldn't necessary play it as a standalone or drive a long distance to play it.

This was fun to play here . The course was great . First time played here ,plan on going back

one of my favorite courses at Gull Lake View. Weather was perfect, course was in great shape. Pace of play was great considering the weather was fantastic.

Very beautiful course. Green is very smooth. A little bit challenging.

I was very happy with the golf course. The front nine is open and the back is wooded. Fair holes but not easy.

Great links golf course with plenty of elevation change. Very friendly staff and a halfway house called “the Bunker” that you pass 3 times was a treat! The vistas were breathtaking. Definitely going to play it again.
