Ladies Red tee adjustment

I played and only got 2 to 5 yards advantage from the gold tees on 80% of the holes. The ladies should have a separate tee which would reflect ladies avg. distance from very long hitting Senior men golfers.
Two to 5 yards is NOT enough difference ....

60's design of Mid-Michigan blah

Played 5 out of the 6 Gull Lake View courses last week. Rank this one 3rd best. Really friendly staff and really good conditioning. Decent but dated clubhouse and facilities. Driving range. Practice green is not representative of what you'll find on course...it's too small and sloped. A decent fairly open enough design but mainly it's just a hit over/around sand traps and tree avoidance course.....then a putting contest on some larger than normal mainly elevated green pads. I'd play it again but there just aren't any holes that stand out so much that would make me want to travel to play them again. If I was local I'd probably play Bedford just once a year or less. Our group was on a package deal but overall I'd give it a 40 value/3.5 stars.

Very rude cocky bearded guy went by TR I believe

Never ever ever have I ever been treated or spoken to like that in a pro shop of any golf course I have ever been to.TR was the guy's name I believe. He has absolutely no business in any way shape or form in customer service. Him and him alone is the only reason I will not go back to that golf course.

Nice Course

Pace of play was a little slow due to a 2 man scramble if front of us. There wasn’t any cart paths anywhere on the course which was odd. But overall a nice course.

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!!!
