White Birch Course
Breezy Point Resort


About this course
White Birch is one of three eighteen-hole courses at Breezy Point Resort, a family-owned property on the shores of Pelican Lake in north-central Minnesota's lake country. The course was designed by William James Spear and opened in 1965, part of the resort's expansion during the postwar boom in Midwestern golf tourism. Spear, a Minnesota-based architect, routed the layout through rolling terrain and stands of mature hardwoods and white birch trees that give the course its name. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and wooded corridors, creating a parkland character typical of northern Minnesota resort courses. Fairways move through tree-lined corridors with enough width to accommodate resort play while still requiring accuracy from the tee. Water comes into play on several holes, reflecting the lake-rich landscape of the Brainerd Lakes region. The course serves as a mid-length option within the resort's golf offerings, appealing to a range of skill levels. Breezy Point Resort has operated as a destination for Minnesota families and visitors from the upper Midwest for decades, and White Birch reflects that tradition of accessible, enjoyable golf in a natural setting. The course complements the resort's other layouts and amenities, contributing to a multi-generational vacation experience centered on the lakes and forests of 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 Interstate 94 before peeling onto quieter state highways that thread through farmland and scattered woodlots, the landscape slowly thickening with stands of birch and pine as you approach the Brainerd Lakes Area. The final miles wind along Pelican Lake's wooded shoreline, where the hum of the Twin Cities gives way to the stillness of north woods and water - a transition that feels less like arrival than gentle retreat into Minnesota's lake country heartland.
