For nearly six decades, Gull Lake View, located in southern Michigan between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek (home of Kellogg’s cereal), has been part of the Midwest’s golf fabric. And one family is to thank for that. Now in its fourth generation, the Scott family continues building Gull Lake View into one of America’s largest family-owned golf resort destinations. Among Gull Lake View’s six courses is the acclaimed Stoatin Brae, which was named “National Golf Course of the Year” by the National Golf Course Owners Association in 2020.
The backstory: In 1963, Darl Scott left nearby Gull Lake Country Club to build a quality and affordable golf complex for everyone to enjoy. On beautiful rolling land that could be mistaken for northern Michigan’s scenic turf, Darl and wife Letha began to define and exemplify how fun and exquisite destination golf could be with their first course, Gull Lake West.
