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.

Beautiful course
Challenging layout but very fair. Course is in great condition. Staff was extremely friendly. Will definitely play again.
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. 👍🏼
Challenging well designed and maintained
Only thing is very large greens- too big in my opinion than they need to be
Worth every penny
Fantastic staff! Attentive and accommodating to the golfers. Course is in great shape. Greens are challenging, but true. From the food, to the staff, to the equipment, to the course… you get everything you pay for and more! First Class Service
Nice course in good condition. Pace was average and could have been a little better.
Lake Geneva Value
Book your tee time thru GN a week or so in advance. You’ll pay half the walk up fee to play a top notch course with great amenities. Highlands course is forgiving if you can keep it in play. Check in was simple and you get unlimited range balls. Have fun and hit em straight!
Love the Highlands!
Great layout. The greens are very tricky but fair.
Perfect condition on all but a couple. By late August it should be mint. Great job.
Doesn't disappoint
Love the layout. Not nearly as long a s the brute. Great way to spend a midweek afternoon!
The Briar Patch
Both of the golf course are beautiful. I have been playing these two for about 30 yrs. The changes that were made to the now Highlands have made it a gem. I always enjoy myself here. The staff and overall vibe is top notch.
Seems like a country course.
The course was in horrible shape. Some holes you were not able to play correctly because of ground maintenance. The greens were like putting on velcro. Someone needs to really spend some time and money on this course. The greens had multiple different grasses which made the greens not easy to put. Depending on which sand trap you were in would either have loose sand or compact sand. The beverage cart drivers were inconsiderate and did not understand golf etiquette. We waited on numerous holes for 10 to 15 minutes while the beverage cart serviced the group in front of us. I sent a message from my cart for a ranger to help with this situation and they never showed up. There were 3 different groups waiting on one hole for this beverage cart and group to finish with there purchase. Luckily the fee was only 57. If it would of been the normal price I would of asked for my money back and never finished my round.
