About this course

The Traditional Course at Breezy Point Resort occupies wooded terrain in Minnesota's lake country, roughly twenty miles north of Brainty. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1963, part of the resort's expansion during the postwar boom in Midwestern golf destinations. Jones brought his characteristic strategic design approach to the property, incorporating elevated tees, large bunkers, and greens that reward precise approach play. The routing moves through stands of pine and hardwood forest, with several holes playing along or across wetland areas that are common to this region. The terrain provides natural elevation change, and Jones used the topography to create variety in shot requirements and visual interest from the tee. The course measures over 6,500 yards from the back tees, though multiple sets of tees accommodate different skill levels. Water comes into play on several holes, and the bunkering style reflects Jones's mid-century design vocabulary. Breezy Point Resort operates as a family-oriented destination property, and the Traditional Course serves both resort guests and members. The course has undergone periodic updates to maintain playing conditions and address modern agronomic practices, though the essential routing and design character remain intact. It shares the property with the resort's other golf facilities and amenities, contributing to Breezy Point's role as a regional golf hub in north-central Minnesota.

Getting there

The journey to Breezy Point Resort begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, roughly two and a half hours south by car through the gradually shifting terrain of central Minnesota. The drive north traces a path through farmland and prairie before crossing into the lake-studded Brainerd Lakes region, where the landscape transforms into dense stands of birch and pine. As Highway 371 gives way to quieter county roads, the final miles wind past shimmering water and summer cottages, delivering guests to the resort's wooded peninsula on Pelican Lake - a secluded retreat that has anchored Minnesota's north woods golf tradition for nearly a century.
