Brute at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa
Rating Snapshot
About
Grand Geneva Resort & Spa was ranked in the top 10 northern U.S. golf resorts by Conde Nast Traveler. The resort boasts two championship courses, the Brute and the Highlands. The formidable Brute Course stretches to over 7,000 yards. It is considered one of the toughest golf courses in the Midwest. The layout wanders across rolling terrain, incorporating a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. There are 68 bunkers strategically placed along the massive, undulating greens. The course is aptly named since it will relentlessly test your skills. It is more challenging than the Highlands, which is a links course designed by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye. In addition to the two courses, Grand Geneva Resort & Spa also has a practice facility complete with a driving range and putting and chipping greens.

Such Fun To Play Here
Hospitality is great but what else would you expect from Wisconsin. Conditions were close to perfect for this early in spring in the midwest. When in the fairway I scored well, when I wasn't the Brute bit hard.
Need better informed
I called the pro shop to know the timing of aeration and informed that it was done month ago. Well...green was too bumpy to predict the line. The 17th hole was closed for x-mas decoration which was not informed.
Even then we did enjoy the course very much.
Put on your list
I highly recommend this course. Pins were tucked away so it made it very enjoyable.

Great Round
Course was in great shape. Some holes and pin green slopes were challenging. Very scenic views and elevation changes. 2 holes were cart path only and probably not necessary.
Beautiful & challenging course, very well maintained
Played on Saturday with my 3 buddies and it was a great experience. the course is very well maintained though the green is aerated hence a bit difficult to judge the putting line.
The pace was good in front 9, however got stuck on hole 10 with 3 groups piled up to tee off, waited about 15 - 20 mins and not sure why. Waited almost every hole in the back 9 and finished 40 mins later than normal pace. Hopefully rangers can come out to ensure the pace is on track.
Great course, large greens and bunkers.
First time playing, in mid-October and a relatively calm day, cool and sunny. Enjoyed this challenging course. Some unique holes, watch the pro's tips for some of these before you play, particularly #3.
Most challenging greens played in a long time
Unfortunately, it rained on and off the round so it wasn't the most ideal weather to play in. However, the course was fantastic and in superb shape. The greens were the most PGA like I've played all year. No straight putts unless an easy tap in. Make sure to practice lag putts as well.
