Geneva National Resort & Club

I have mixed feelings about this course. I really wanted to love it. The Player course has some super cool tee shots, a really interesting layout for a resort-style course and is clearly well-maintained. However, it was one of the longest rounds I’ve ever played. I clocked our round at 5 hours and 29 minutes. There’s just no way to really enjoy a round that slow. There’s no rhythm, and at one point had a backup of 3 groups all on the same tee box at the par 3 13th. I expect that out of a cheap muni, but not when spending this kind of premium for the round. They really need to space out tee times to every 12-15 mins.

All that being said, if you’re ok with a 5.5 hour round, this is a really great round for a resort-style course. Wide fairways, cool views and most shots bounce in your favor. Good shots are rewarded and the greens roll very true.

We had several groups ahead of us that had their carts locked up because they were in a restricted area. Really slowed the pace of play down. We had the same problem on hole 6 and we were on the path. These carts are great and the technology superb but at times they were SO tight to the yellow dots that it was really a problem. Just something to think about. Overall the course was great.

Course is first rate. Some work being done around a few tee boxes, not impacting play. Course in great shape. Staff is friendly and welcoming. A great course, my favorite of the 3.

The staff is a great mix of seasoned golf enthusiasts and next generation that is already obsessed with golf. Course is in excellent shape and the pace was perfect.

Amazing course, Little easier than Palmer. Both amazing courses nonetheless.

Played on opening day. Course was in great shape. Greens were smooth and fast (for March in WI). Course was also surprisingly dry for this time of season. Great layout with a nice variety of tee choices. Pay attention to where Lake Cuomo is...everything breaks that way on the greens. Humongous putting course opening this summer.
