Madden's is 12 miles northwest of Brainerd surrounded by lakes and deep woodlands with 63 holes of golf-three 18 hole layouts and the Social par 3 layout.

The Classic traverses rolling, tree lined terrain with an overall elevation change of 60 feet. It's a traditional layout bordering the deep forest lined fairways with wetlands and water hazards in play on 13 holes. It is a nationally regarded layout that was actually designed by an unheralded golf superintendent, Scott Hoffmann in 1997, and plays to 7,102 yards, 75.6/142, course/slope ratings from the back tees with five shorter tees.

Madden's Pine Beach East Course is the original layout from the 1920s winding along tree lined fairways with several water hazards and small greens well defended by sand traps. It's a shorter course with two sets of tees with the back tees playing to 6,101 yards, 69.1/118, course/slope ratings, designed by James Dalgleish.

Madden's Pine Beach West Course is shorter yet at 5,070 yards from the tips, 69.4/103, course/slope ratings. It's a par 67, executive layout along tree lined fairways leading to small greens, designed by Jim Madden, one of the founders of the resort.
