Golf in East Gull Lake

East Gull Lake is golf resort country in concentrated form. Three courses — including the legendary Classic at Madden's and the Legacy Courses at Cragun's — sit in this small Cass County community on the shores of Gull Lake. Madden's has earned a national reputation as one of the Midwest's premier golf resorts, and Cragun's matches it in scale. The Brainerd area's draw stems from properties like these: full-service lakefront resorts where golf is the main event rather than an afterthought. Minnesota's compressed but intensely enjoyed golf season creates an enthusiastic local community that values the course as a gathering point and an outdoor escape during the state's warmest and most social months.
