It's a Gem.

This Stoatin Brae course has huge potential. First off we loved the cart coolers, kept the beers and jellow shots ice cold all day. It was a perfect Saturday out there, and after some great Charles and Darls BBQ and beers the night before, our glutes were firing early and often. Keeping shots in the fairway is no problem here, so the 2 nephews and I were 7 under at the turn. The greens are perfect and roll true. It's not especially long, and we took advantage of the generous fairways here. We cranked out 6 under on the harder back side, and finished up at -13 for 3 men. Like all of Gull Lake, you can feel the spirit of Darl Scott all over the course, and as we smoked a bowl and enjoyed the spectacular vistas in the twilight, you could imagine his presence. It's a southern Michigan gem, we will be back for more of this one. Keep on Rockin.

Strange layout

I really like the way this course is maintained, but it's a very wierd layout. There is really no feel for consistency, every hole is all over the map. It does make for an interesting challenge, it was fun. I liked the look at the creepy old State Hospital cemetery on the back side.
Greens were good, nice roll, very fair.
Play this course, keep on rockin.
