Three nines (White, Blue, Red) routed through Gull Lake forest by Tom Lehman, completing Cragun's 45-hole Legacy expansion. The Blue + White combination plays as the standard 18; the Red nine opened fall 2024. Like Lehman 18, the 2024-25 redesign converted the old RTJ Jr. Bobby's Legacy land into a more forgiving, resort-friendly layout, bentgrass tees and greens, rolling glacial-lake terrain, mature pine framing.
The Lakes Course at Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge's peak-season green fee is around $120 per round; off-peak rates drop to about $85. Cart, range balls, and caddie fees are typically separate. Estimate the full Brainerd Lakes trip cost
