West Course @ Gull Lake.

This Course was one of 5 run by the same Management Corp. The unusual fact here is, they have 5 different Greens Supers. So every tract has a different niche for course set ups. The East course starts off easy and steps up the challenge as you go. The tip of the century here is, to play target golf. There are only 4 holes that you can "grip it & rip it". Has anyone played a tract where the #1 & #2 handicap holes were par 3's? I didn't think so! The greens were larger than average with major undulations. It's a 2 sleeve day for the average golfer. It's a fun course but, will test your mettle. We will return to play the sister courses. Golf Now got us awesome rates to play on Labor Day with carts.

Unique blend of challenges

The West course has a blend of challenging par 3's, dog legs, cut through the woods holes, uphill and downhill holes, reachable holes, and wideopen-grip it and rip it holes. The course is well manicured and a beautiful ride through the woods.
It is yet another "Great Scott" course to play !

tough course

For only being 6300 yards from the tips it played a lot longer. Many uphill shots to greens and most putts had large breaks. Still, overall it was a fun course but very difficult for the average golfer!

Well worth the play....

Arrived for a 9:27 tee time. Welcomed by pro shop staff. Hit a few practice shots and headed to the first tee. Marshall got us off early and we played as a twosome. Played the front nine in 90 minutes. Arrived at 10th tee and marshall asked us if we wished to skip over to 15 as we had caught people in front of us. We played 15-18 and returned to play 10-14. Total time to play was 3 hours. Course conditions were excellent and variety of holes outstanding. Would highly recommend playing Gull Lake West.
