  2002, the new back nine is reminiscent of a
  British Isles links-land golfing

  on the course itself. Additionally, there is a

  rubber rafts find their own challenges in the
  Kettle River or maybe in more laid back setting
  on one of the many lakes. There are a number of
  fine picnic and camping areas at the resorts and
  public campgrounds on the banks of many area
  lakes. Stevens County has 306 lakes, 315 ponds,
  125 marshes and swampy areas and 175 creeks. See
