Would play course again

Course was in good shape, it's fairly open, but narrows on the back and water comes into play. there are lots of raised tees and greens. the club house was nice with a big restaurant and pro shop.
No bag or cart person, and pace of play was slow, waiting on most every hole.

Pure Pleasure

First time on this course was both challenging and fun... and then challenging and not-so-fun. Not the course's fault... it was flawless! GLV provides a yardage and tips card along with the score card... USE IT! It's very accurate and will alert you of possible obstacles along the way! Proved to be VERY helpful (I was playing 3 other guys who were very familiar with the course...). Greens were moderate speed but in great shape (late Sat afternoon). REAL SAND...!, and the fairways were well manicured as was the rough. Beautiful course, set-up, and operation... as usual for this family of courses. Had a great time, can't wait to get back...! Staff was awesome!!

Worth at least one visit.

We drove from Grand Rapids to check out the East course having never been to any of the Gull Lakeview courses. Golfing in late September we went without high expectations on maintenance. It wasn't as pristine as I was personally expecting but was overall in very great shape, especially this time of year. Some very beautiful holes. The course is very short (we are all long off the tee and almost drove a couple holes) but the greens are quite challenging with patience going into each putt. The back 9 has quite a few narrow fairways (trees everywhere), 90 degree doglegs and several small ponds that come into play. You cannot choose driver and simply swing away; thought must be put into club choice for the best setup on the next shot. The challenge more than makes up for the overall course distance.

The course is very pretty, not real long from the whites but you better hit it straight. Almost like being up north in lower Michigan.

Nice parkland style golf course with some elevation features

Played on a Sunday afternoon on a great day. Light winds, low 70's temperatures and great lay out. This course is on the challenging side due to the tree lined fairways but unlike many courses in this area if you did hit one in the trees you could find the ball as there is grassy areas under the trees which was mowed and fair to play from.

We played from the white tees ( I think it was about 5700 yards) and there were many par 4's that were under 350 yards, but they had dog legs and it requires good distance control. Most approach shots were played from 100-120 yards out as long as you find the fairway with your tee shot.

The course and greens were in good shape and there were quite a few greens with nice undulations but the pins were located in accessible locations.

If you like target golf with a few blind tee shots coupled with some elevated tee boxes and greens you will love this layout.

I have also played the west course (which is a little longer) but what this lacks in length makes up for in course design.

Fun track - will definitely play again!

Cant beat the price.

For the 15 dollar hot deal rate, you can't go wrong. I played in the 7:04 AM slot and maintenance was still out on the course, but made sure to be quiet. Course was very well maintained.

Beautiful course, but short and slow play.

The course from the whites is ~5,600 yds, so it plays a little on the short side. Some of the holes were fairly challenging requiring precise lay ups to have shots into the greens. Overall the course was very short, hitting a 7 iron off tee on some par 4's. I don't crush my driver so it suited my game well.

Frustrating was the pace of play. They booked an outing for the morning and continued to send out 4 somes of ladies every 9 minutes after. That requires a 3.5 hour rate of play, which not many 4-somes can pull off, even/especially with an outing in front of you. We were a 2-some, so that made it seem worse, but on many holes there were 2-3 groups waiting to tee off, with no ranger to be seen.

Great course!

The staff was very friendly and helpful in the pro shop. I teed off at 6:54 am, and I think I was the only person on the whole West course. The grounds crew was very kind and let me play through a few times, even getting off of their mowers to put the pin back in before they were done mowing the entire green. There had been a storm before I played so the course was a big soggy, with some standing water in the fairways, but it was still in great condition, with the grounds crew all working very hard.

This course had fun elevation changes

This is a fantastic course with nice rolling hills and some blind tee shots. Had tons of fun with some par 3 challenges. Play was slow because everyone was playing on the weekend. Overall great experience and would go back.
