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.

Too Slow
5 hour round on a Thursday afternoon when it's 90 degrees out just isn't any fun. Waiting at every tee box was brutal. Great place but where is the ranger to keep things moving??? He was out there but just riding around. Not sure I'd like to do that again when there are other courses in the area that play much faster.
Great round of golf
Staff very friendly and accommodatein. The course is in excellent shape, challenging but not to challenging. The most fun I've had in a long time. Will definitely do it again.
Well worth the money.
A fun, challenging and visually stunning course with many highly enjoyable holes. Elevated tee boxes are plentiful, making the Brute a drivers paradise, and mounded greens that were very challenging and occasionally frustrating. The Brute is a golf course that after playing it once, you will definitely want to come back for second round.
Picturesque. Tough greens but playable (although I didn’t play well).
The Brute
It’s a tough course. When you score well you’ve earned it. The staff is excellent. It was really a nice outing with my wife. The weather was great. Our lunch was outside. The friendly people had us thinking how nice it is to be back out again being served lunch in a beautiful setting. Wisconsin is always a treat
Perfect day to golf
Just a great day course was pretty empty felt like we had it all to ourselfs
Great time
Great course Great stuff everything was fun and challenging The greens are like putting on drywall it's just missing the clown's mouth on some of the holes! Very challenging
