Brute at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa

The course was immaculate and the layout extremely challenging. However, the pace of play was excruciating. A company outing was playing, but it seems the pace wasn’t being monitored. At one point we had 5 groups on one hole…3 waiting. On 18, the company players were all waiting for each group and celebrating on the green. This no doubt contributed to the slowness. We finished our round (2 players) in a little over 5 hours.

This was a wonderful experience! Course was beautiful and tough! You really need to look at some of the areas you are hitting to over the greens can be a killer here. Most are downhill back to front. Greens are massive and bunkers are everywhere and tough. Love this track its not cheap but if you're a player so worth the $$$

Beautiful course! Greens were a bit of a challenge....you'll 3 putt all day if not careful! Greens generally very well protected by massive bunkers. The bunkers were well maintained, I only ended up in 2 bunkers all day...but they're as big or bigger than the greens. Fun course pretty open off the tees on most holes but several very narrow...the tempted you to go for some shots risk reward. I hot 6 strokes over my handicap due to those nasty Greens!

Pro shop great with a dated locker room. Food was decent but way overpriced...bring food/snacks. Staff at the 19th were friendly but I think the gal was over her head due to someone calling out sick.

Range facility very nice as well!

We played this course during twilight on a Sunday which made it a great value. We heard that this was a very difficult course but if you play the right tee boxes, its actually way more fun than difficult. Some very interesting holes that allow you to go for the green on a par 4, and solid par 5's that give you the opportunity to get home in 2 too. We'll be back for sure.

Love the layout and the course was in

Great condition.

The course is called the Brute and that’s apt. Great views, incredible layout and challenging greens the size of some zip codes. All about placement here, the elevation changes make most shots into the green a good challenge. Course was in great shape, cannot recommend enough.

A bit challenging and good fun! Witnessed a hole in one! Good times!

This course is a masterpiece and a brutal challenge (no pun intended). Played here in a scramble 6/19 and the course challenges you to make consistently good shots from tee to green. If you’re a mid handicapper, it is tough all around. Amenities are great, service is fantastic. If you’re in Chicago or Chicago burbs, this course isn’t much further than sitting in traffic to a course on other side of town. Completely worth the drive. Add in the second, more foregoing course on property, it’s a quick weekend golf getaway and totally worth it.

Wide fairways but large, tricky greens. Keep you ball below the hole when possible. GL.

Subtantial improvements have been made over the years. The Brute is currently outstanding in a very hot day in the mid-West. Conveniently located between Milwaukee and Chicago. Ameneties are fantastic reflecting the resort in which it is located. The course itself is immaculate.
