Gull Lake View Golf Resort is based in Augusta, Michigan, conveniently located near the shopping, dining and attractions of Gull Lake, Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. Gull Lake was naturally formed at the end of the last Ice Age, when several large blocks of ice broke off of a withdrawing glacier. As they melted, they left several depressions in the land that remain today. In 1833 a dam was constructed to power a sawmill along Gull Creek, doubling the size of the lake. Prior to that dam’s construction, the Island at the southeast end of Gull Lake was actually a peninsula. The lake was an area favorite for steam boat rides in the 1880s, and in the early 1900s, Labelle Park brought a luxury hotel, toboggan slide, and miniature golf to the region. So from a stylish hotel and miniature golf to elegant, lakeside villas and five championship golf courses, Gull Lake remains a favorite golf and getaway destination.
When you are not playing golf there is a lot of fun to be had around Gull Lake!
