Joel Goldstrand designed The Pines at Grand View Lodge in 1990 and it has been the resort's marquee draw ever since, 27 holes spread across three nines (Lakes, Marsh, Woods) routed through dense Northwoods pine and around a string of Brainerd-area lakes. The Marsh-Lakes combination plays as the championship 18 most groups book. Golfweek ranked it the #4 public course in Minnesota in 2022, and Grand View Lodge itself has been recognized on Golf Digest's 75 Best Golf Resorts in North America. The Pines is also a regular on Golfweek's Best Courses You Can Play in Minnesota. Greens fees track with most upper-tier Midwest resort courses, the kind of trip you book around weather windows in late June through September, when the Northwoods is at its best.
The Pines at Grand View Lodge's peak-season green fee is around $87 per round. Off-peak rates vary by season. Call the pro shop for current shoulder pricing. Cart, range balls, and caddie fees are typically separate. Estimate the full Brainerd Lakes trip cost
