36 Hole Special

Weekend $230 | Weekday $210

The best way to experience Northern Minnesota golf is with our 36‑Hole Special.

Each course offers a distinctly different golf experience, making it nearly impossible to choose just one. From dramatic scenery to rewarding challenges, both layouts are as beautiful as they are memorable. Both rounds must be played on the same day.

Bunkers is open at 6AM daily through golf season and serves up tasty breakfast and deli sandwiches, burgers, brats, hot dogs, snacks, mixed drinks and assorted beers, and more, all on our outdoor patio.
