Minnesota’s Championship Golf Courses Brainerd, MN
Experience the best golf in the Brainerd Lakes Area at Cragun’s Legacy Courses—newly renovated with a $18 million expansion designed by PGA Tour legend Tom Lehman.

Dutch 27 – Three rotating nines (Red, White & Blue) offer a playable yet challenging layout for all skill levels, finishing on a signature risk/reward Par 5 over water. Home to the CRMC Championship, a PGA Tour Americas event named Tournament of the Year in 2023.
Lehman 18 – Tom’s 7,400-yard signature course winds through a 1,000-acre wooded sanctuary, featuring stacked sod bunkers, Stephens Lake, and natural wetlands—a true Minnesota backdrop and must-play in the region.
Rounding out the experience: a full-service clubhouse, practice facility, and Par 3 short course. Cragun’s Legacy Courses is a true golfer’s paradise.
