We will have some recap of the NCAA championships and discuss some upcoming tournaments in the area.
The second hole at Stolten Brae, the new course at the Gull Lake Resort near Kalamazoo Michigan.
Stoleten Brae the new course at the Gull Lake View Golf Club and Resort. With today’s golfers looking for more fun on the golf course, the new Stolten Brae golf course has a minimalist design that golfers will enjoy.
The course opened for limited play last fall, but with the benefit of a soft winter and additional time to mature, Stolten Brae has now hit the ground running.
This golf course is not tricky, but has a Scottish style that leaves the course right in front of the golfer.
“We’re putting the final touches on Stolten Brae and we are excited about our first full season,” said Bill Johnson, vice-president and PGA Professional at Gull Lake. “Just like our other courses, we are keeping the course affordable and playable,so pricing will be dynamic throughout the golf season.”
Stolten Brae is a creation of Tom Doak’s Renaissance Golf Design and it’s four senior designers. For more information please visit GullLakeView.com.
