The Airport Driving Range
Closed for the season
Madden’s Airport Driving Range was completely renovated in 2024 to create a first-of-it’s-kind practice facility for the Brainerd Lakes Area. Renovations included the addition of fairway, rough, and sand visuals, along with the installation of 12 new target greens, including 12 specifically designed for wedge practice. With a covered and heated swinging area, it’s the perfect place to practice no matter the weather.
Located directly adjacent to the Pine Beach East and West courses, the Airport Driving Range is open daily during the season.
Other Areas to Warm Up
The Classic at Madden’s Practice Facilities
A full-size driving range is available for warm up before your round at The Classic as well as a practice putting and chipping green.
The Social 9
Perhaps the best way to practice or get ready for your round is to play the Social 9, our 9-hole short-game course. Hitting a variety of distances to the postage-stamp size greens on this course will hone in your approach shots and challenge your pitching and chipping.
