Cragun’s Legacy Courses
Brainerd, Minnesota
Set in the Brainerd Lakes Area, Cragun’s Legacy Courses pairs 45 holes of Tom Lehman-designed golf with the beauty and scale of a true Minnesota destination. From the championship Lehman 18 to the reimagined Dutch 27, the property gives golfers plenty to discover—and plenty to remember.
A Legacy Worth Playing
45 Championship Holes Worth the Trip
Cragun’s Legacy Courses is a true Minnesota golf destination, with 45 championship holes across The Lehman 18 and Dutch 27, plus the Nice09 par-3 course for another nine holes of fun, approachable golf. An $18 million transformation completed in 2025 reimagined the property under Minnesota native and major champion Tom Lehman, creating a collection designed around playability, strategy, beauty, variety, and the natural character of the Brainerd Lakes landscape.
The competitive credentials are just as impressive. The Dutch 27 hosts the CRMC Championship, now part of PGA TOUR Americas, an event that began at Cragun’s in 2022 as the first PGA TOUR Canada tournament ever played in the United States. The championship was named the PGA TOUR Americas 2025 Tournament of the Year. The Lehman 18 was also nominated for World’s Best New Golf Course in the 2024 World Golf Awards, while Cragun’s Legacy Courses holds Audubon International Signature Sanctuary status as the first certified Signature Sanctuary course in Minnesota.
Together, The Lehman 18, Dutch 27, and Nice09 give golfers something unusual: enough variety to build an entire golf trip around one destination, with championship design, professional-tournament pedigree, resort amenities, and a setting that feels unmistakably Up North.
A Partnership Built Around the Golf Experience
Cragun’s Legacy Courses is built around delivering an exceptional golf experience. From beautifully maintained courses and first-class facilities to a welcoming staff and thoughtfully designed details throughout the property, the goal is simple — give golfers a memorable day from the moment they arrive until the final putt drops.
That shared commitment to the golfer experience is what makes the Aces Guide® partnership such a natural fit. THE Lehman 18 Aces Guide gives golfers another way to prepare for the course, understand what lies ahead, build a plan, and carry more of the experience with them through the round. Available within the Cragun’s golf environment itself, the guide becomes part of a broader experience designed around great golf, thoughtful preparation, and having more fun.
