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.

Fun layout

A fun course which will require the use of the entire bag. The par threes offer a nice variety of length with challenging carries. If you have your driver working it will award your boldness but the subtle angles can bring wood lines into play quickly.

Many elevated tees on par fours allow for different club choices to score.

Don't come here so I can play more

Staff members were very friendly, golf carts are top notch I would compare them to TPC Scottsdale quality (as an example)

I will not go too harsh on the course conditions due to the weather that has happened throughout the week although still well maintained and a lot of beautiful scenery to the point that I forgot to take pictures lol.

Nice conditions, not worth the full price

The course conditions are great. The course design/layout itself was meh. Definitely worth it if you can get a golfnow deal under 80 dollars but wouldn’t pay more than that for a round.

Great course

The course had construction crews working with noisy equipment on the front side. That detracted a little from an otherwise wonderful experience. The driving range was a cramped net set up, maybe temporary due to construction. Beautiful practice green and chipping with sand. Electronics in cart are high tech. The starter was extremely friendly with helpful tips for first time players. The back nine was more challenging to play.

Lame logo hats

Wanted some keepsake apparel, but the logos are lame. Nothing cool like LIV golf or Bad Birdie. Sales must be way down!
