Madden's - The Pines (Classic 9-hole)

Madden's on Gull Lake's classic 9-hole layout (The Pines) is the old-school resort experience in the Brainerd Lakes area — a Don Herfort design through towering Minnesota pines with a pace that encourages conversation over competition. Not a destination course, but the kind of afternoon round that reminds you why you went on a golf trip in the first place.
