Great Course

The course has a lot of terrain changes and a good test for any golfer. The pro tips allow you to navigate the holes and receive some member bounces!

Gull Lake View- West

For it being pretty early in the season, the course was in surprising shape! The fairways and roughs are great..the greens were still coming along, still pretty slow. I didn't know what to expect with this course because I've played the Stonehedge's and Bedford Valley which are owned by the same family but the West course seems to be just as nice and thought out as the other "bigger" courses.
There is so much undulation on this golf course. Definitely an old-school design with the green complexes. Combination of tough driving holes tough approach shots on several holes. The course seems longer than it is on paper. There are a few long par 3's to keep you focused.
I would definitely recommend Gull Lake View West.

How to grow the game of golf!

If more courses were run like this one, the game of golf would grow like wild fire! Wes, Don, Brad, and frankly everyone we encountered - the other starter, the rangers, the restaurant and bar staff - everyone - was friendly, fun, and good spirited! What I'd pay to experience this kind of reception and kindness at every course I played... It recalls the concept captured in the book: "Everything I Ever Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten." The clubhouse, built some time ago, seemed dated when we arrived; but looking out at the course and it's conditions made it clear that this was an operation that's had years of experience in how to get it right! The inside showed no such 'datedness', and the pro shop was top notch. Drinks were poured right, the rest rooms were clean, the carts were in good shape and clean (with 2 scorecards each - it's the big things AND the little things that make a difference)! The pace of play was great, and while I'm a 7, my playing partner and best friend is just better than 'beginner', and said he'd never felt so comfortable or had as much fun playing as he did yesterday. He even talked about buying new irons and getting back to playing the game again! I perceive the staff's kind ways were cause for even the other golfers we encountered to be more amicable, friendly, and happy. Or maybe it was simply the smiles we couldn't wipe off our faces! I cannot say enough good things about this place. This is the first review I think I've ever written - the positive experience demanded it! Thank you, to all the staff there at Gull Lake View! Your kind efforts and hospitality are appreciated!

A course of two halves

First time playing this particular Gull Lake course and what a treat.
The service was impeccable as was the course.
First nine is hilly and the second nine is a challenge.
Loved the layout and thoroughly enjoyed my day.
Highly recommended.

Good for all players

Course was in great shape. Moved a little slow because it was a nice Sunday afternoon and was pretty busy. There was a beverage cart so it was nice to get a cold drink every few holes

Enjoyable course; Gull Lake View West

Gull Lake a View courses always in excellent shape. Fairways were tight, greens were well manicured but a bit slow. Speed of play made it very enjoyable. As seniors we played the white tees and it was challenging but doable. Will play it again!

Gull lake view

Great course for the money. The morning I went it was wet outside, and I haven't played many courses that were in better condition considering the rain. Gull lake views staff does an excellent job tending the course. Would recommend to anyone.
