Never disappoints

Although the first nine holes were played in a pretty heavy fog, the round was excellent. This course never lets you down and offers a challenging yet fair test of your skills.

No drink service, no drinking water, no on course amenities

I am a resident of Geneva National and play these courses often... a word of caution: Bring water or drinks! Unless your playing on Saturday or Sunday drinks carts only serve the members course. Even worse is all halfway houses are almost always closed. They provide no water on the course whatsoever. The clubhouse is beautiful and the courses are well maintained and challenging. When paying $100 or more for golf I expect to be able to buy water or a beer... even at $10.

Staff was Great

Love the GN courses. The staff made an extra effort, from the pro shop to the halfway house. Value is excellent for a nice resort course. Pace of play this time was about 5 hours and even for a Sunday in August, that is very slow.

Water

Course is about what to expect from a super popular public course. Layout and conditions are pretty good, but two major complaints..

1. Drinking Water. Put some friggin drinking water out on the course. I get it, you make money off people drinking beer, but no one like being nickel and dimed into drinking $5 bottles of water when you could easily just put out a few water jugs on 2 or 3 holes. It's ridiculous.

2. Pace of play. Somehow, even with three courses, they managed to have just about everyone who was playing between 9-11AM all play on one course, slammed back to back. Spread out the play, guys. That's why you have 3 courses.

Awesome

This course isn’t cheap but worth every penny. Well maintained and aesthetically pleasing. Not brutally hard but you have to play well to score. Greens not super fast but a good moderate speed. End your day with a brisket taco and spotted cow inside the great restaurant or out on the deck. They now have a great putting course as well. AWESOME+

Great course

Course was in excellent condition. Greens rolled good and fairways, tee boxes, and bunkers in excellent shape.

Only problem I had with the layout is the number of blind tee shots there is on it but the carts gps system tell you to wait so that is great. Unless you have some a group from another country where English obviously isn’t their first language and maybe didn’t understand how to use the gps and they hit into us several times. Was not happy with that at all and should have called the Marshall on them.

Also, do not book you tee time through the course, use Golfpass and you can get for close to half off the regular course rate.

One hole no refunds

Had to pay for 18 even though knew it was going to get rain in 2 hours. So, with a 9 am tee thought hey get 9 in then lunch while it's raining. Partner and I hit tee shot and finished hole. Cart alarm goes off and says return to clubhouse lightning. Now I get it. There rules are 30 min mandatory before going back out. Sat in clubhouse 2.5 hours with ground still dry with radar lightning miles away. Like I said heavy stuff coming around noon which it did to rain out day. I was sad because would of easily got 9 in but ok. Then, I go to get refund as we only played one hole and though don't I'll get back would only give me rain checks. I offered to trade my 2 rain checks for a polo and they said no. So, guess I'm out 160$ as not from area to play one hole. Sad customer service .... Oh also out $30 reservation fee because that was from golfnow

Palmer Course

Amazing track! All 3 courses are gorgeous, but the Palmer is the most challenging due to the greens. Course was in pristine condition as usual. Can’t wait to play it again

Palmer course

Course was in exceptional condition, pace of play was grueling and definitely made the round much less enjoyable. There is never an excuse to have three foursomes on a par 3
