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 course but slow pace of play
We really had a great day at the Highlands. The layout is great with ample landing areas on most holes, great conditions and tricky, sloping greens. Played the senior tees (around 5700+) yards which made the course very playable for my ability.
We had some concerns with the help we received upon check-in. The guy at the bag drop who seemed very busy, never put my clubs on the cart, so I had to do that myself. Also, the women in the golf shop asked me to prove that we had prepaid. Luckily, I was able to show her the confirmation email on my iPhone. Despite these minor issues, we had a great day and would return .
top tier golf course
Fairly long with someelevated tees and greens, long carries and large undulating greens. Fairways, rough and greens all in top notch condition.
Highlands
The course was in great shape. We did not see anyone until the 17th hole. I would recommend this course to anyone who can hit the ball accurately.
Overall nice place
Had a great day even though I played bad course was beautiful and conditions were ideal. Greens a little tough to read and challenging course. Good job grand geneva!! We will be back
Away Day
We had a challenging and rewarding time playing 18 holes on the Highlands. The weather was quite warm and humid, or we would have enjoyed the day even more.
The setting, surroundings are beautiful. Placed in the midst of the beautiful architecture of nature.
We will definitely be back!
Excellent Day and Valur
I will go back in a heart beat. Great course. High tech carts with Gps. Great day had by all. Course is not for beginners however. Perfectly challenging for our group.
My Experience
Over all we had a great time the golf course, will go back again.
Highlands
Great facility. In feel its over priced if you base it solely on the course. Great staff, they will certainly take good care of you.
GPS on carts, can order food from the GPS and they bring it out to you, complimentary towels, tee's, divot replacer, ball marker.
Huge practice facility
Multiple drink carts on the course.
Great layout fantastic facility!
Played 18 course was in fantastic condition! HIghly recommended!
Grand Geneva Highlands Review
The was in excellent condition. The only bad thing was there was some holes where there were a lot of mosquitoes.
great value
I thought it was a nice course and a great value.
very friendly people at the course. Very nice experiance.
Very scenic and very well maintained fairways
Customer service is exceptional. Very well maintained fairways. Love the gps on the cart - gives a flyover of hole and shows other carts around which us helpful with blind spots. Pace of play was fast. The 2 of us finished in 3 hours.
Excellent course
The Highlands is a quality golf course and resort setting. Facilities are top notch. Played from the gold tees (tips) which was a challenge on many holes.
Last minute deal on Golfnow made this an exceptional value.
Pro Shop Staff
The staff at the pro shop was not pleasant. They demanded a copy of our golf now receipt or they would not allow us to play. Luckily we had it in an email; otherwise they would have kept our money and turned us away. Horrible. The staff on course was great. Be careful of this place.
this course has great features
Great golfing experience at a great price good pro shop deals
Very good course, but one strange flaw
Found this course to be nicely designed and in excellent overall condition. Really enjoyed a couple of the excellent short par 4's .Hilly and somewhat wooded around the edges of the course gave it a nice feel. The course is well marked and the electric carts with GPS is a great feature. My only real issue with the course is the bizarre 16th hole - a road cuts right through the fairway about 210 - 240 yards from the tee. Trees line the left side, so you can't even see the cars coming. Two cars passed by as we stood on the tee - very strange for a course this nice. Only other small complaint is that some tee boxes need to be leveled off. With those exceptions, the overall experience was very good. Thanks to Golfnow for the good deal, otherwise it would be too expensive to play here.
Staff and price were great
Only drawback was the rough was way to high and made the pace of play slower. People looking for their balls and having a difficult time hitting out of it. This is a resort course you want your guests to enjoy it, not get frustrated by it.
Little bit of everything
First time golfing at this course. Enjoyed the variety of holes that it offered and the amenities were a plus. The GPS the carts included was a big bonus. The course is challenging but fair. The greens made the course difficult; they were fast and hard to read but receptive to shots from the fairway. Golfnow rate made the course affordable and a good value.
fun course not long but challenging be accurate
very beautiful course not super long but need to be accurate, great greens fast, true
Beautiful Course
The brute course is no joke, quite challenging, with wicked quick greens, many bunkers and water that come into play often. The views around the holes and tee boxes are scenic and serene. It's an experience unlike any other. I would definitely go back. I am a 5 handi, and managed to shoot to that handicap, although it was a challenge.
Destination Kohler - Champions' Trail Golf Package
The Highlands has always been my favorite course, and is truly that inspired by the actually "Links" of a Scottish golf course. I have both golfed and worked as Supervisor and a filled in many times on a Beverage and food cart. You are also very correct! I can't tell you how many times someones ball had actually hit my Beverage cart alone. Luckily we had those thick and sturdy Plexi-Glass shields to protect us from the from and back and partially on the sides. Came really close one time though! A ball actually came on in the inside of my cart, and thankfully someone yelled to "Fore" in enough time for me to take cover under my seat, with my arms covering my head. So, yes... There are some blind areas on the Highlands, but it's such a beautiful links! I liked it better than the Brute, but that's just me.
