Pine Beach East

✆ 218-855-5932

Scotsman James Dalgleish put a lot of love into his 1926 design of our Pine Beach East course, and we put every bit as much into maintaining this historic gem. Here you’ll find panoramic views, traditional charm, and Minnesota’s only Par 6.

Pine Beach West

✆ 218-855-5934

Features tree-lined fairways & rolling terrain, perfect for golfers of all levels. Hole #16, a standout par 3, requires a 90-130 yard shot over a pond to a two-tiered green perched above a rock wall & surrounded by Norway pines. Playable in under 4 hours, it’s ideal for a warm-up, quick round, or heading to the lake afterward.

The Social 9

✆ 218-855-5932

Set along the scenic shores of Gull Lake, the Social 9 is a par-28 course with holes ranging from 95 to 265 yards. It’s the perfect spot for a warm-up round or a relaxed evening game with friends. A personal favorite of our Director of Golf, Glenn Hagberg, the standout hole is #2—a 95-yard par 3 with a green situated 50 feet below the tee, offering one of the most breathtaking views of Gull Lake.
