Considering a Home in North Pines?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands North Pines and the surrounding Brainerd Lakes golf market.
North Pines is a private, 27-home enclave built as part of Grand View Lodge Spa & Golf Resort on Gull Lake in Nisswa, organized directly around The Pines golf course. It has its own homeowners association (HOA dues reported at $400/month covering yard work and snowplowing). Homes have sold from roughly $500,000 to $1.6 million; a North Pines house listed in 2026 at $1,545,000 was specifically marketed with access to Grand View Lodge amenities. Homes are described as 'branded residences' that owners can live in full time or place into the resort's guest-rental program.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Full-time North Pines owners pay a separate annual resort-amenity fee on top of HOA dues -- reported at about $7,000 if that fee includes golf access, or about $3,000 if it does not. Owners who instead enroll their home in Grand View's rental program (renting it to resort guests) receive amenity access without the extra fee. Golf is therefore a real, resort-organized privilege of North Pines ownership, but a paid one rather than an automatic inclusion.
