COURSE
Breezy Point Whitebirch
Named Golf Resort of the year for 2006 by Golf Minnesota
The resort, founded by legendary publisher Captain Billy Fawcett more than 80 years ago on Big Pelican Lake, is one of Minnesota's favorite summer resorts. The golf tradition at Breezy Point began a few years after its founding, in 1924, with the opening of nine holes on what now is aptly named the Traditional Course, which these days is an 18-hole favorite.
Famed golfers like Patty Berg, Walter Hagen and Les Bolstad played in tournaments on the Traditional Course. The flamboyant Hagen, one of the early stars of the PGA Tour, played a match at Breezy Point in 1928. Berg, one of the founders of the LPGA Tour, won golf a tournament a few years later. And legendary University of Minnesota golf coach Bolstad won the annual Labor Day event, the 10,000 Lakes Tournament, several times.
Modern times brought about the construction of Whitebirch, Breezy Point's championship golf course, with over 6700 yards of lush fairways and large fast undulating greens. Whitebirch Course is considered by many to be the best value on the Brainerd Golf Trail.
