Geneva National Resort & Club

Although there were some maintaince issues, which included new soda and tee boxes, this course was in great shape and the "makeover" didn't take away from some great golf!

Although all three of Geneva National’s courses are strong, the Palmer is the class of the bunch, with a fun routing that heads into the forest from the clubhouse before ultimately swooping down to the shores of Lake Como, where the 17th is one of America’s most picturesque inland par 5s. In between, some recent renovations by architect Brandon Johnson have helped address some playability issues, including an opening hole that used to make a rough first impression but is now one of the course’s better par 4s.

For all his bluster, The Black Knight’s track record as the name on golf courses is uneven at best. But the course that bears the Player name here is a very good one: big-shouldered and heavily bunkered, with a routing that tackles some challenging with panache, rather than timidity. The plunging par-5 10th hole with a pondside green is a highlight.

Of Geneva National’s three golf courses, the Trevino is the one that features the most target golf, occasionally making the golfer feel somewhat hamstrung. But a handful of meadow holes at the middle of the round provide some relief and pleasant scenery. As is the case across the resort, late-spring conditioning was terrific.

I’ve been playing the Palmer course since Geneva national it opened. They’ve made a few nice tweaks to it, including taking the creek out of the first fairway and leveling the green a little bit as well as leveling off the second green. I think the course gets better every year I play it. It’s a nice routing and very scenic. Considering it was November 17, the greens were still in very nice shape for the time of year as well the rest of the course.

Great course, beautiful rolling hills and challenging! Fall rate couldn't be beat, about half the price during the summer. Will be back!

Nice layout and the view is spectacular but they need to add more sign and direction to the next hole cause it’s confusing you’re wasting time looking for the next hole remember the place is hilly which I like but in summer it’s full of trees you get lost a little.

What used to be my favorite course has become a money grab in October. From hole numbe 3 the marshal followed our group for the next 10 holes... we were ahead of pace by 4 minutes and the he guy was at every point of hitting the ball. I called the pro shop at hole 12 to call off the surveillance. Yet we sa yet another marshal at hole 12 and 16, I was ready to leave as it was annoying my entirety round. They must have taken notes from evergreen with team of Marshall's that force thw pace of play like no others. The geeens were un putt able as they didn't care as the guy watched our drive to the green. It's the end of October and they started everyone late an hour for frost but they had their team of marshal's enforcing pace of play. We were finished in less that 4 hours and yet we had to se the team on every hole but two. The his place is crazy..played the player and note it will be my last time putting up with this course.
