Great facilities

I play this course or is sister courses several times a year, this is the earliest I've played though. The course was in wonderful condition for the time off the year and makes you appreciate the work involved to get the courses to their usual summer condition.
Club staff were, as always, very friendly and professional. I will always recommend this family of courses to anyone who asks.

What happened to Gull Lake View?

Wow! It’s the end of May and there are still top dressing holes on the greens? I’ve always liked GLV be disappointed in fairways and greens. Not sure I’d go back at any price.

First Time Playing

Will play it again.

We played as a twosome on a Saturday morning with tee time at 8:42 AM. We started right on time and had a great time playing the front nine. The course condition was great despite the rain that had passed through an hour earlier. As expected after the rain it was carts on paths only or when necessary on the rough. We completed the front nine in just under 2 hours.
We took a short break and got a couple of sandwiches to go from the restaurant.
When we got to the 10th tee a foursome had just teed off so we had to wait for them to hit 2nd shot. From that point forward we had to wait on every hole. There was at least one complete hole open in front of the foursome but they never considered letting us play through. We ended up taking just over 3 hours to play the back nine.
Overall we had a great time and look forward to playing again, hopefully on a weekday.

Great Course, Great Resort!

Gull Lake View East is one of the most scenic courses in the area. But don't let the beauty fool you, this course can be a challenge. Lots of water holes, large bunkers and large rolling greens. The Gull Lake View folks put a lot of pride in providing the best courses in the area and in my opinion in the state. You will not be disappointed with the East Course or any of their other gems. Keeps me coming back year after year.

Gull Lake East

This ia a great course! It is well maintained with new GPS golf carts. The greens were slower then I care for them to be. The course setting is beautiful as it snakes throuhnthe wooded setting.

Accuracy premium

The east course demanded accuracy over distance. The course was in great shape and the greens had almost completely recovered from aeration.

Poor Customer Service

My friends and I have been meeting at Gull Lake View Report for the past 10 years. We love the facilities and the assortment of courses, but in the past couple years we have had some service issues. The latest is regarding our set tee times. We were asked to reserve our rooms and tee times about a year prior to our trip - AND put down a deposit. Recently, they changed our tee times, and they do not work out in our favor. Not only have they not left enough time to get from one course to the other (we play 36 holes per day), but they moved us from the highly publicized Stoatin Brae to Gull Lake East. If you know these courses, you realize that Gull Lake East is the least desirable course they have to offer. You also realize that 4-hours rounds are impossible. When we called to express our concerns, they told us to pound salt. Is that a way to treat a long-time client. I think NOT!!! Obviously, the demand to play at these facilities is causing them to not care about their customers. Very short-term thinking.

Terrible Course Management

Very poor pace of play. I called the clubhouse on hole 11 to ask them to send a ranger out as we were in a major traffic jam. The ranger did come out but did not fix the problem so we ended up leaving after the 12th and a 3 hour front 9. I love Gull Lake View golf courses but DO NOT PLAY ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY, VERY SLOW!

A Great Course with An Even Better Staff

The course is always great, but the Staff, especially Wes in the clubhouse, make this place a wonderful stop in Southwest Michigan.

If you want a fantastic spring or summer golf vacation, this group of courses will make for a diverse and pleasant experience. Come visit, you will probably come back again next year.
