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.

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.
Great Features
Great Course & Beautiful setup great greens well maintained
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!!
Great Course - Great Staff -Great Experience
I always enjoy playing this course. Beautifully maintained and the staff makes the experience so enjoyable.
Well kept, challenging course.
I love the Highlands! About 1000 yards shorter than the resorts other Course The Brute, but a well kept thinking man's course.
Busy day for one of their "Hot Dates" in August!
A very busy day for one of their "Hot Dates" in August!
Great Course ... Always a enjoyable round on the Highlands Course. Friendly and helpful staff. Great day on Great course!
Always a pleasure to play at Grand Geneva. Course in great shape. The complimentary range access and GPS makes the day even better.
Highlands at Grand Geneva was in very good condition.
Played the Highlands at Grand Geneva this past July 4th holiday weekend. Course played very fast and was in great condition. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will return as soon as my schedule allows with GolfNow deals its hard to pass up.
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.
