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.

Nice course Especially for about $70

Course was fun... some shorter Par 4s but maybe 2 really long ones as well... 420 and 450 from the Gold tees. For me those were a bit long. Fairways fairly wide open for the drive at least mostly. Cool and plush electric carts.

The Highlands, a nice place to golf!

This is a great place, very picturesque, challenging but not killer challenging. Favorite hole was a 200 yard par 3, which was uphill and into the wind. Bring your driver because that’s what it took to get there. The overall course is very fair, and we would definitely play here again.

Enjoyable course!

Took a detour to play here when heading to the Dells for vacation. It was definitely worth the detour! The staff was very friendly. The course (The Highlands) had a nice layout, had been well maintained, and was in good condition! The pace of play was pretty slow for the first 9, and the first few holes of the back 9. While I wasn’t in any rush, it took around 2 1/2 hours for the first 9. The pace did pick up, and the round was completed in right at 4 1/2 hours. The round was also finished with my average of bogey golf.

Great golf course. Fantastic for the price

Would strongly recommend this course. Well manicured through the woodlands. Almost every hole was secluded. The only drawback was the lack of a halfway house. The cart girl came around frequently but there was no option for food. 👍🏼
