Overview
Gull Lake View Golf Resort, with its six 18-hole courses in western Michigan, is one of the best stay-and-play options in Michigan. The resort’s signature layout, Stoatin Brae, is a links-style design that sits at one of the highest points in Kalamazoo County. The course, designed by Tom Doak associates Brian Schneider, Brian Slawnik, Don Placek and Eric Iverson, is a departure from traditional Midwest parkland golf, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area and allowing the golfer to play the ball along the ground.

Review
“Interesting public accessible golf course on an interesting piece of property. It wss built by some of Tom Doak's associates at Renaissance Golf Design. I thought the course conditions were great with nice firm turf where you can play the ball along the ground."

“Open links with firm and fast fairways. Not many hazzards unless you find the long grass separating fairwasy. Back 9 has nice elevation changes and good green complexes."

“Part of Michigan's largest golf resort designed by Tom Doak's team. Course is routed high on a ridge but is playable. Undulating greens provide the challenge here. Fun course to play."

“Beautiful new course with a minimalist feel that plays as a good approximation of a prairie-style links. Ground level greens and wide fairways make this course very playable in the wind."

“Pure links style that will require approach shots to be played into the front of the green. Flying shots at flagsticks will result in the ball rolling off the edges. Lots of ground game opportunities not seen in America. Fun course with lots of options."
