Legacy Courses at Cragun's

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Legacy Courses at Cragun's one course or multiple, and what's the typical playing experience?

You'll actually find two distinct 18-hole courses here - the Dutch Legacy and the Bobby's Legacy - both offering a fantastic challenge. The Dutch is more traditional and tree-lined, while Bobby's brings a linksier, more open feel with some serious elevation changes. We recommend playing both to get the full Cragun's experience.

When is the best time of year to play the Legacy Courses for optimal conditions?

For the absolute best conditions and weather, we always steer golfers towards late spring through early fall, typically May to September. The courses are meticulously maintained during this window, and the Minnesota summer weather is usually perfect for a round. Just be aware that peak season means higher demand, so book your tee times well in advance.

What makes the Legacy Courses' design unique, and are there any must-play signature holes?

What truly sets Cragun's apart is the variety across its two courses, especially the dramatic elevation changes on Bobby's Legacy, which offer some stunning views. Keep an eye out for the par-3 17th on Bobby's - it's a beautiful, challenging downhill shot over water that you won't soon forget. The Dutch Legacy also has some fantastic risk-reward par-5s that demand strategic play.

What should I expect regarding green fees and booking at Cragun's Legacy Courses?

Green fees at Cragun's are competitive for a resort of this caliber, typically ranging from $80-150 depending on the season and time of day. We highly recommend checking their website for stay-and-play packages, as these often provide the best value. Booking well in advance, especially for weekend play, is absolutely essential to secure your preferred tee time.

Beyond the golf, what else does Cragun's resort offer for a complete golf trip?

Cragun's is a full-service resort, so your non-golfing hours are well covered. You'll find a beautiful lakefront with water sports, several dining options, and even a spa if you need to unwind after a challenging round. It's a great spot for a family golf vacation, as there's plenty to keep everyone entertained.
