Resort Overview

Cragun's Resort offers you the complete amenities of Minnesota's largest resort, with a tradition of the best in personal service. Come for a Minnesota family vacation. Host a business meeting or conference. Plan a wedding reception or special event. Golf the Legacy Minnesota Golf Courses at Cragun's, a sanctuary for golf and the environment designed by Robert Trent Jones II.

Golf Overview

In the world of golf, legends begin with a course design that enhances the game, yet transcends it. In the words of famed golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., this truly special course is a "place of the earth, for the spirit". It is in that spirit that Jones has created the Legacy Courses at Cragun's. The Legacy Complex has 45 unique holes of golf appealing to all levels of players, with two full, 18-hole championship courses, providing an unmatched golfing experience combining natural north woods beauty with true golfing challenge, a unique par three, reversible nine-hole course surrounding the driving range and Teaching Academy that's ideal for novice golfers or a sporty irons game for experienced golfers, and a 37th hole, named the "Gambler's Hole", to settle a tie or raise the stakes.

Golf Courses

The Dutch Course

Architect:  Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
Description:
Following his philosophy of using the land as it is with minimal disturbance, Jones' triumph at The Legacy Courses is the creation of a world class golf course surrounding a 104 acre lake and calming waterfall set in beautiful environmental surroundings. The result is the designation and elite status as an Audubon International Signature Sanctuary, the second resort course in the world to be so distinguished (the first being the prestigious Pinehurst in North Carolina). The Legacy has been named among the "Best Environmental Golf Courses in the World".
