The Lehman’s 18 is one of my top 5 favorite courses I’ve played. Just a beautiful golf track. The Dutch 27 is really nice as well. You can’t go wrong playing either of these. Maintenance team does a great job & the pro shop staff are very friendly / nice people! Will always come back to play when I get the chance.

Tim, Dani and the rest of the staff at Craguns have taken great care of our large group since we transitioned to a mid-week trip 4 years ago.
Nothing kicks off summer like being away from work and battling the Dutch/Lehman Sunday through Wednesday.
The area is less busy but just as beautiful during the week. Not to mention the commute back to the cities mid-week goes a lot smoother compared to coming home on Sunday.
We can’t wait for our next Craguns Experience.

Played the new Lehman course on Sunday. The course itself was in almost perfect condition! They do have to let the greens settle a bit because right now there is a lot of inconsistency between the rolls on each one. Some of the greens are absolute monsters and demand precision shots to the right spots. I do feel some of the greens were too gimmicky, but fun none the less. Lehman seems to lean heavily on choke points on par 5s that make it so if you are a bit hitter your driver becomes worthless. Even from the black tees there where several points where the driver seemed safe and smart but ended up rolling out into deep ravines but forward tees have open paths. I do look forward to playing again once the course is settled and has a rating.
The staff was extremely polite in all areas, especially the starter! The beer angel on the cart was super polite and was working hard to try and get around in good time!

Just played the first of many rounds on Cragun's Lehman's 18. The tour tees add quite a bit of distance on a few of the holes. The course is newly opened and was in better shape that I had anticipated.
The new design does take you a ways away from the clubhouse so if there's no beverage carts, stock up on your supplies before you tee off. If you've played Bobby's 18 previously you'll see a few familiar sights, some sights that have changed, and some new ones too.
The new course (designed by Professional Golfer, and Minnesota native Tom Lehman) plays to some of his strengths as a pro golfer by having runup greens so if you play that baby fade with a rolling carry you might find yourself in a pretty good spot.
There are however lots of added hazards, and the bunkers are absolutely beautiful and fun to hit out of. I'm even scoffing a little as I write that because I hardly ever have fun in the sand on the course.
I look forward to visiting Cragun's again soon to experience the new revamped version of the three 9 hole courses. I've been coming to Cragun's Legacy Golf Course every year for over a decade, and it's because of the quality of the course, the service, and the appreciation Dutch has for US Military Veteran's.
Thank you Dutch.

Two great tracks, Bobby's & Dutch's present a good challenge. Beautiful, scenic setting for the courses. Many forced carries over swamps & water. Great variety of holes. Always friendly staff. Good hosted events with good food. Good merchandise selection in the Pro shop.
