Crystal Lake Golf Club’s Summer To Remember

When Crystal Lake Golf Club opened in 1995, the golfing summer was dominated by names like Daly, Elkington, Pavin, Crenshaw, and Norman. In 2023, golfers flocking to Lakeville, will learn the names of Orlando, Maize, and Temple.

Scenic Beauty at Superior National Golf

The winter was long and the snow was deep in this part of the state. It’s no small economic thing when the snow fly’s and the skiers begin to pour into this stretch of the Sawtooth Mountains along Minnesota’s North Shore.

Smiles and Wedges at Gravel Pit Golf

New is good. Different is good. Fun is good. Challenge is good. Hole-in-ones are beyond good. The newest addition to the Brainerd golf destination collection has embraced all these philosophies and wrapped them up into a tidy two-hour round of golf that over-delivers on all fronts.

Game On At Golden Eagle Golf Club

There is so much that can be said about Golden Eagle Golf Club. We can start with its jaw-dropping northern Minnesota setting on 210 acres and the minor miracle that this 18-hole championship design was carved out of the raw wilderness.

Into The Mystic At Mystic Lake Casino

The title of this story may have originated from a song by the Irish troubadour Van Morrison but that title certainly applies to a play and stay weekend at Mystic Lakes Casino and its world-class golf course – The Meadows at Mystic Lake.

Giants Ridge – One Two Punch

The Wilderness at Fortune Bay – Better Every Time

I had no idea what ruggedly beautiful hole it was that I saw first, but it wowed me to the point I pulled off the road and took a picture of it (before Instagram). Turns out it was the Par 5, 8th. “That’s awesome. Look at those cliffs and all that water.”

Cragun’s Resort On Gull Lake – Transformation Milestone

June 30, 2023 will mark a milestone in Minnesota’s latest and largest golf course renovation project happening at Cragun’s Legacy Courses. On this day this project that started in the Spring of 2021 will be more than 80% complete with 36 holes of the 45-hole project open for play.

Breezy Point Resort – Just Can’t Get Enough

Nestled to the north of Brainerd and many of its signature lakes, Breezy Point is an extension of the “Big Bobber” town of Pequot Lakes, and while you don’t need to leave the resort for entertainment, Pequot Lakes does host quite the assortment of shops, restaurants and entertainment options.

Wild Marsh Golf Club – Living the Dream

What would you say if I told you that The Best Conditioned Public Course in the Twin Cities Metro might be in Buffalo – a lake-locked paradise just 30 minutes northwest of Maple Grove?

Tuned For Fun At Timber Creek G.C.

For those about to golf…Timber Creek salutes you! You might recognize that blatant rip-off of the classic AC/DC lyric but it seemed like an appropriate introduction to an energizing round of golf played on one of Minnesota’s most fun courses.

It’s right there in the name… ‘Links’. Windblown fescue, wide serpentine fairways, hidden fairway bunkers, large undulating greens all playing out under the prevailing breeze.
