Program
Tom Kientzle, Director of Golf at Craguns Tom Kientzle, director of golf at Craguns spoke to the group today about the exciting new golf course, The Legacy. He brought greetings from Dutch and Irma who own Craguns, and emphasized all the planning that went into the new course. The whole team at Craguns is very proud of the  Signature Sanctuary Course designation from the Audubon Society, an honor it shares with only one other course in North America. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed the course to "possess a balance which comes from melding holes of varying degrees of difficulty in a pleasing order."  Tom went on to talk about the beautiful new clubhouse which will open in April and which they are moving into today.  It will include 35,000 square feet divided into a sports bar, fine dining, a pavilion, member locker rooms and the second floor Audubon Room.  He stressed the variety of choices golfer's have for price and benefits and the uniqueness of the Legacy Walk Reversible 9-Hole portion of the course.  Although Tom hails from Chicago originally, his parents got involved in golf when they moved to Brainerd and bought the Birch Bay course in 1971.
