Although my visit was business related and I was in classes most of the day; my stay was amazing. The staff was so gracious and pleasant. The grounds were immaculate, the food was amazing, and I slept like a baby! I will definitely recommend Madden's and return with my family to enjoy more of the amenities.

I take a group of golfers every year for a one night, 2 day, golf trip. There is not one bad thing about this place. The golf is always great, the food is amazing,...but what sets this place apart from any other resort or course is the caring and genuine staff they have here. You just don't get this kind... More

I was only there for a one night golf trip. We will definitely be back next year for a longer stay. The Classic golf course is awesome. Staff and accommodation are great. We were pleasantly surprised that our stay included unlimited golf on their 2 onsite golf courses. We only had time to golf the west course. It was nice... More

Thank you for sharing your review of Madden’s on Gull Lake! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your experience on The Classic, Minnesota’s only 5-Star, Top 100 golf course. You’re right, Pine Beach West is a par 67, which makes for a quick round, but not an easy one! Next time, you’ll have to give Pine Beach East a try, which... More

Even for me as a Minnesotan who lives only two hours north of Gull Lake, this had everything you would need. It was very clean, wonderful landscaping, friendly staff, and plenty of things to do. I was there for a conference and almost was glad the weather was rainy. Sunny days would be ideal for lounging around the pool or... More

Loved it! Staff was super friendly. Maddens has a "homey" feeling to it, yet very classy. The food was amazing! I wasn't able to experience golf or the beach because of the weather, but the appearce was great. Definately a place I would bring my family for a summer vacation!

The food and service were five star! Dinner at the Classic was amazing! The only complaint I had was the noisy people who were staying above us at the main lodge. Next time we would look into staying in one of the cabins/condos.
