Ruttger's Bay Lake - The Lakes - Region 1 - Brainerd Golf Trail
Reviewed by:  Mark Follmer - Plymouth, MN. Ed shoots scratch.
Review Summary:  A group of 20 of us played The Lakes on the first weekend in June, and we played on their all-inclusive golf package. In short, the condition of the course was terrible. But what is even more disturbing is the way the Ruttger's staff has handled my complaint about the conditions. I have dealt with 2 different staff members from Ruttger's on this issue and both of them have acted as though my complaint is completely unfounded. Through a series of emails they set customer service back 50 years. I won't be going back, and I will spread the word about my experience.
Conditions: Tee boxes: long and shaggy
Fairways: long....not mowed for at least 4 days before our arrival
Greens: Grass was healthy but freshly mowed at about 1/2"
Bunkers: No sand, no maintenence
Scenery: Some good views of surrounding lakes, nice location
Layout: Quirky at best.... some very average holes, some very odd holes
Services: Pro shop staff very friendly, Bartender was friendly and wayyyyyyy over worked, restaurant staff very attentive.
