Brainerd, Minnesota is a very unique area when it comes to golf destinations. With four full-service resorts all in the same general area, Brainerd can be a golf-lover’s dream come true. Finding your way to Cragun’s Resort to play their amazing collection of golf holes should be on everyone’s bucket list.

The resort is currently going through a $17-million dollar expansion that is being overseen by PGA legend Tom Lehman. Their existing two golf courses (Dutch’s Legacy and Bobby’s Legacy pictured below) are being revamped and added on to create 45 championship holes consisting of the Lehman 18 and the Dutch 27. The final product will give golfers 4 different and unique 18-hole combinations all played from the same clubhouse!

Spending an entire day playing the golf courses at Cragun’s is a must for any group looking to experience the best that the state has to offer. I found the staff incredibly accommodating and the clubhouse is terrific. Huge indoor area, huge outdoor patio, great food and a great spot to watch shots coming into the par-3 9th hole on Bobby’s Legacy, probably the most photographed hole on the property.
