Cragun’s Legacy Golf Courses have been renovated and redesigned in partnership with Minnesota’s most decorated PGA Tour professional & golf course designer – Tom Lehman. The Lehman Design Group is focused on making the golf course more playable along with using the natural contours of this beautiful piece of property. This ten-million-dollar golf course renovation and expansion started in April of 2021 and will continue through the spring of 2023. When this project is complete the Legacy will be a true golfer’s paradise offering 54 holes of golf. The “Dutch 27” will feature three renovated nines, (red, white, & blue) offering players the variety of three different 18-hole combinations. Every hole on this course has been touched by the renovation from white sand to newly paved cart paths throughout. The “Lehman 18” will be Tom’s signature 7400-yard championship golf course. This course layout moves perfectly through this 1000-acre wooded sanctuary working its way around Stephens Lake and though many of our other natural wetlands, a true Minnesota backdrop. Not to be outdone, our reversible par 3 course is perfect place to work on your short irons or introduce a beginner to the game. Each of these courses offer a variety of tee box options to accommodate all skill levels.
