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.

Wonderful experience!

The experience and facilities at Grand Geneva are top notch!
It's always a pleasure to play the Highlands with its tough greens and elevation changes that are always challenging. The course was in very nice condition and maintained as always and I've never had a bad experience here! Highly recommend!!

Wisconsin golf at its finest

Great course for the money. Saw plenty of wildlife. No homes on the course make it feel as if you are talking a walk thru the countryside. You may even have a plane take off from the small airport on the property.

Greens were in great shape and fast. Most pin placements were in decent spots.

Will continue to play this course

delightful

absolutely beautiful course. The rough is tough, and the greens are sometimes hard to read, but the course is in great condition. I got a great price on golfnow, so it was well worth it. Probably wouldn't pay the normal price to play here.

course management a must

Their are two courses at The Grand Geneva Resort, The Brute and the Highlands. Pricing makes you think the Brute is better ($169/Brute $125/Highlands) but even the pro's here prefer the Highlands because it takes more skill to work your way around the course to give yourself the proper angles to shoot low. The Brute on the other hand is more wide open and designed to gaudy with HUGE greens, HUGE fairways and HUGE bunkers. both great courses but the Highlands is for shot producers.

Very fair, yet challenging course

Staff is wonderful, range is great, and the course is a good design. Its very playable, yet does demand a variety of shots.
