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.

Highly Recommend
The Highlands was in exceptional condition and was a true pleasure to play.
Bargin
I have no complaints. Got a bargain price off of golf pass. 2nd time was as good as the first!
Worth a look
One of my favorite courses in the area.
I just wish the staff were as excited to be there as I was
What about the greens?
The course was in good shape overall, and the resort setting is spectacular. It has been very dry, so fairways greens and even the rough was fast. Very fast. The course is perfect for nearly every golfer up to about a 25 handicap. After that it gets a little long and my get frustrating (particularly a couple of the par threes).
The surprise to me was the greens. Not that they were a little brown in some cases from lack of rain, but that they had inconsistent surfaces, sometimes in the same green. In many cases, foreign growth had made it onto the putting surface. There are some bargain greens fees available ($72), which give the course "value for the money".
But if you pay $120 - the same value is not gained
First time at Highlands Course
Played as a single but was paired up with another golfer. Had a super round except that we were following a golf tournament group that was slow so it took 4 1/2 hrs.
Beautiful layout
Course was in great condition, and very challenging!
Great bargain!
Staff and amenities were top notch. Loved the layout.
