Overview

The Ruttger family has been welcoming folks to the peaceful shores of Bay Lake for more than 120 years. Much has changed over the years, but the essence of Ruttger's remains the same... The peace of a scenic lake shore sunset, time spent golfing, fishing and relaxing with the ones you love, a good meal, and the welcoming smile of an old friend.

Jack's 18 is one of the most scenic golf courses in the area. The par 72 winds through rolling woods and alongside the placid waters of natural lakes Goose and Bass. Quite simply a must-golf northern Minnesota destination.

As the first Minnesota golf resort, Ruttger's Alec's 9-The Original course was re-built and opened in May of 2024.
