Cragun's Resort & Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent resort with old world charm. Hard to find a better place with all the amenities they have. Remodeling the place and it will be spectacular when done. The courses were in great shape."

Maddens On Gull Lake

Maddens On Gull Lake

10/10 Excellent
"Although it is very early season, the whole resort was not completely open. Especially the dining venues. We were basically left to 2 choices fo dining. Of the 2, we dined in the grill area. The food was just ok. They didnt use real butter to grill the bread, instead using the fake oil stuff which is awful to begin with. It transfers the burned flavor of sitting out the grill too long then the grill metallic tastes transfers to the bread. (I know this because i was a chef for many years)"
