Whitefish Golf Club

Pequot Lakes sits in the heart of Minnesota's Brainerd Lakes region, a stretch of central Minnesota defined by pine forests, glacial lakes, and a golf culture dense enough to rival almost anywhere in the upper Midwest. The area draws players from the Twin Cities and beyond each summer, and the concentration of courses here means local golfers develop genuine opinions about where their favorite rounds are spent.

Whitefish Golf Club takes its name from Whitefish Chain of Lakes, the interconnected series of lakes that gives this corner of Crow Wing County much of its identity. A par-72 layout at a public or semi-private club in this setting typically means rolling, wooded terrain shaped by glacial geography — elevation changes, tree-lined corridors, and the occasional water feature that reflects the sky on a calm morning in June.

For visitors staying in the lakes area, courses like Whitefish offer the kind of round that fits naturally into a long weekend — unhurried, scenic, and rooted in the easygoing Midwest golf tradition that makes the Brainerd corridor worth the drive.
