BREEZY POINT RESORT
🇺🇸 Breezy Point, MN, USA
Designed by Arnold Palmer


Deacon's Lodge, nestled amidst the towering pines of Breezy Point, Minnesota, is a modern interpretation of classic Northwoods golf—a tribute to the region's enduring sporting heritage.
Designed by Arnold Palmer, the course, carved from the area's rolling, heavily wooded terrain, rewards thoughtful play. While generous fairways offer a sense of freedom off the tee, cunningly placed bunkers and subtle elevation changes demand strategic approaches. Its play favors a controlled ball flight and a willingness to embrace the natural contours, while the abundance of mature trees requires creativity and risk management. It is known for its immaculate condition and has earned a reputation for being a fair but challenging test for golfers of all skill levels.
Deacon's Lodge is a haven for both resort guests and local enthusiasts. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, reflecting the easygoing spirit of the lake community. And while the golf is serious, the post-round camaraderie is perhaps even more so, often extending late into the evening around the resort's many gathering spots.
Reviews
I personally think Brainerd is an absolutely overrated town for actual good golf, but deacons is a solid place and a fun time every time I’m there. Not a huge Palmer guy and the conditions have gone down hill, but you gotta play when you are in town. If you aren’t hucking your driver straight at the 12th hole then you aren’t living
Great Track Must Play for Minnesota One of Arnold’s best design’s in my mind Great Elevation changes - Big Landing Areas off the tee I Like tracks - where a bad shot does not lead to a big number - Looking forward to play again.
+Great Palmer course +Memorable holes +Wilderness vibes My favorite of the Brainerd area courses.
A pretty solid Arnold Palmer design, easily the best course in the Brainerd area. Good variety with some really fun holes. Not perfect but solid!
