Madden's Pine Beach West

There is often a lot to pack into vacation days, and our West Course makes sure golf can fit into the process. This northern Minnesota gem built in the 1960’s is a perfect place to master the fine craft of “golfing your ball.”

Cragun's Legacy Courses

Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed our 2-18 hole courses; 5 star Dutch Course and 4.5 star Bobby's course, giving us 36 of the finest holes of golf in the state. We also have a 9 hole reversible Par 3 course and Foot Golf to mention! Once you have finished one of the above mentioned you can grab a seat on the patio or inside and enjoy some refreshing beverages and breakfast , lunch or dinner in our Legacy Grille.

I play Cragun's several times during the golf season. I always have an incredible golf experience. The course is always in pristine condition. The staff are responsive, friendly and first rate. My favorite course is Bobby's, but Dutch is beautiful and challenging too. There are par 5's that are reachable and a couple of par 4's that feel like par 5's. My wife and I have also taken golf lessons from Chris Foley who is the PGA professional at the course. Chris is an incredible instructor who is thoughtful, kind and insightful with his instruction and feedback. I highly recommend Cragun's as a destination for golfing couples or for a buddies or girlfriends' golf get-away.

Fifty miles of trails to bike, hike, rollerblade and snow-mobile, depending on the season.

Reviewed By pddjer - Minneapolis, United States

Fall is a nice time to relax on the bike trail. The leaves were great and the trail was nice. Relaxing trail worth the drive to get to. Enjoyed the Pine River Chamber of Commerce building, nice clean restrooms, great things to look at.

Deacon's Lodge Golf Course

Designed by Arnold Palmer and ranked as one of the top ten new public courses by Golf Magazine.

Reviewed By JimmyHill1

We travel to Deacon's once a year. The golf is the best and the walleye sandwich is fantastic. Great place for lunch before or after a great round on one of the best courses you'll ever place. Looking forward to this years summer trip already !!
