Cheap stay and play packages in Midwest

[shakogolfer78]

Hello sand trap members!  I am a Junior at SJU (MN) and I have recently been elected president of the golf club on campus.  As president I want to take a group on a weekend golf trip (most likely in Minnesota) in the fall.  I was looking into packages in Brainerd, but I wanted to know if anyone had any other ideas that would be more cost effective.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I also wanted to know if anyone knew of a site that would cater to college clubs to maybe get them a discounted rate at various golf resorts.  This spring I was a part of our campus ski club, and we went on a trip to Aspen for really cheap through this site:

I was wondering if there was something similar for golf clubs.

This might be worth looking into...awesome courses and at $15 a night per person for lodging?  It's not the Ritz, but it might do...

Not too bad a hop from SJU to Giants either.  I find it more appealing than anything in BrainDead.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice!  This would be a great, and I have always wanted to play at Giant's Ridge.  I'm in the process of calling a few different places and seeing if I can get any deals for a large group, and it sounds like this is exactly who they cater to.

Thanks,
