Cuyuna Rolling Hills Golf Course has a lot to be proud of

BY PETE VUKELICH

As we shut the door on the first century of Cuyuna Country Club/ Cuyuna Rolling Hills, we start on our second century and 11th year as Cuyuna Rolling Hills golf course. We have a lot to be proud of as an organization as our rounds have doubled in the last 10 years. Not only have our rounds doubled but so have the tournaments we host, our memberships continue to climb and our list of “regulars” has certainly grown.

We think our key to success has been a friendly and welcoming staff, affordable rates for memberships and every day greens fees as well as our course continuing to be in great shape, regardless of what mother nature throws at us. Being located less than 20 minutes away from the Brainerd lakes area, we feel we are adding ourselves to the list of must play courses in the area. We give you the resort quality golf without the resort pricing.

Also not far from us is the Cuyuna State Recreation Area where we have seen more and more bikes on the back of vehicles as they pull into our driveway. The popularity of the Cuyuna Lakes area has boomed incredibly, you can easily spend a weekend shredding the red at the trails in the morning and then come play some of the best greens in the state.

If you have yet to play us, the front nine is a little more open, allowing a driver on almost every hole. There is only one par 3 on the front, one par 5 and seven par 4s. Once you get to the back nine, you see the true beauty of our rolling terrain cut through the trees. Unlike our front nine, a driver might not always be the best club off the tee box but you know your game better than us. The back nine also offers a more traditional, two par 3s and two par 5s. This means you will have five par 4s to complete 18 holes and a par 72 championship style course. It offers golfers of all skill levels different challenges and will have you coming back for more.

One of the most common things we hear from people that stop in is, “We’ve driven by this course plenty of times and never stopped but we sure are glad we did!” If you find yourself being one of those people that have driven by for years, give us a try. We are fully open to the public seven days a week. We do host a lot of charity tournaments so be sure to give us a call before you stop by at 218-5343489.
