The Ruttger family has been welcoming folks like you 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. We welcome you and your family here to share in the warmth of our hearth and hearts because that’s the Ruttger’s Way. That’s how it has always been and always will be.
Championship golf is a Ruttger’s tradition. Jack’s 18 is one of the most scenic northern Minnesota golf courses in the area winding through forests of maple, oak, birch, aspen, and the majestic Norway pines. The par 72 rolls gently alongside the placid waters of natural lakes Goose and Bass. Quite simply a must-play Brainerd Lakes area golf course. The course, formerly known as The Lakes Course, was renamed in 2018 for beloved Ruttger’s Chairman Jack Ruttger.
