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.

Great value
Fantastic course and combined with Golf Now fees as good as it gets. I thought the Brute was scenic, but the Highlands was even better. Great layout and superb conditions make Grand Geneva the best golfing option within 100 miles.
Never had a unpleasant day on either course.
If you treasure your golf, you have to go here !@
Excellent Experience
Great course and courteous staf. Challenging course For all levels of play. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were fun. I found it difficult to determine breaks and had to walk around my line to ensure I had the right break. Lots of fun.
Great Course in excellent condition
I had played the Highlands many years ago and enjoyed it but didn't remember much. I thought the course was in excellent condition and the layout was great. . Staff that we met were great.. We'll be back for more rounds.
nice day for golf
nice day for golf 90 degrees with a breeze. Course played nicely, course in nice condition greens a little fast
Excellent layout ruined by bad upkeep
The Highlands has an interesting and challenging but fair mix of holes. The upkeep, and especially the sand traps, is disappointing. There is way too much soft sand - with large and small rocks - in the traps, both fairway and green side, to the point where it is very difficult to get a foooting. This sand might be fine for the lakefront in Kenosha, but it doesn’t belong on a $100 greens fee course.
CHALLENGING
Course was on great shape. Greens were true. Staff was excellent. Very challenging.
Highlands 2020

Never miss
It's a cant miss piece of property.
Two courses
Wonderful conditions
Every time you play you will not be disappointed.
Enjoy your day a d your round at the highlands
Rich Town Course
Played both courses many times. I like the Highlands the best, but a major draw back is after th hole it doesn’t bring you back to the club house, and half way house at 11 is NEVER OPEN. But recently they had a beverage cart out on the course. One of the best senic layouts in all of Lake Geneva . Shot makers course, but I will add, there greens were superb.
Sadly this I only play here on golf deals from golf apps when I can find them.. Lake Geneva Cater to the wealthy when it comes to the 7 courses in the area. Normally your looking at starting at $100.00 bucks and higher. Not worth the money here. Sad it that way here.
Best course I’ve played this year!
I’ve played many courses already this season and I have to say the Highlands are in top shape. I was very pleased with the condition and pace of play. Will for sure play again.
Return to the Highland
Beautiful course. Good Covid precautions taken by staff. Greens were bumpy with aerations and a lot of sand. Fairways and tee boxes were great. Little or no winter damage.
Covid Golf
Greeting was a little grumpy due to the unusual conditions,
The starter was conversant, pleasant, and just a pleasure.
Golf course condition was excellent. Greens were firm and fast even with rain all day long. Superintendent should be very proud as this course continue to improve each year.
Covid 19 golf
Due to current conditions the course went out of there way make sure safety was a priority.
