Highlands at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa
Rating Snapshot
About
Grand Geneva Resort & Spa boasts two championship golf courses. The Brute Course is a formidable test while the Highlands Course presents a more player-friendly layout though it still has plenty of challenges in store. Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye teamed up to design the Highlands. It is a traditional links-layout that is tumbles across glacier-carved hills and valleys. It perfectly mimics the feel of courses of the British Isles especially on the undulating greens that are flanked with bunkers. The course is playable for all skill levels though low handicappers looking for a challenge might want to tackle the Brute. The resort has garnered a popular following amongst both locals and visitors. Conde Nast Traveler ranked it in the top ten northern US golf resorts and that is just one of the many accolades Grand Geneva Resort & Spa has received.

Highlands
I didn’t like it when it was the Briar Patch. Now years later and after lots of renovation I love this course. Overall a great facility.
Large greens
Very good course. Have not played it in about 5 years. Still in great shape. Little brother to the Brute, but still fun to play.
First Time
It’s a fun course to play and the layout of the course was great. The only drawback for me was the greens were aerated and top dressed with sand, so we never got to see the greens in top condition.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Very well taken care of it was in excellent condition
Enjoyable 18 holes
Had a 7:33 AM tee time on a Friday. Temperature was mild about 60 degrees and a clear sunny day. Probably was separated by 2-3 holes from groups in front and behind. Did not rush, but kept a good pace of play because drives stayed in the fairways. Finished in just under 3.5 hours. Course was in magnificent condition; the staff was invariably cordial and engaging. A wonderful day.
SLOOOOWWWW!!!!!
Sunday afternoon round took almost 5 hours. We waited on every tee box after the second hole, GPS screen said we were behind but never saw a ranger.
Course was in good condition, but won’t be back.
Great track
The course wa feet the greens fast and the layout very nice
