About Grand Geneva Resort & Spa

It's a four-season destination with the Mountain Top ski and snowboard facility and the 225-room Timber Ridge Lodge & Waterpark, an indoor-outdoor waterpark. Sandwiched between Milwaukee and Chicago, Grand Geneva invites city slickers to enjoy the laid-back lake life for a while.

The Highlands and The Brute roll over hills and water hazards, creating distinct theaters for challenging and memorable golf. The WELL Spa + Salon, located in a separate fitness building, offers more than 65 treatments and services.Facts

Top notch
One of the very best courses in the state and everything that comes with it.
Disappointed
Was disappointed with condition of course. First 3 holes as bad as any course I have ever played. Understand its fall golf but over priced for what condition course is currently at
The Brute at Grand Geneva
A beautiful course with excellent views, fairways and greens. Highly recommend.
Course is on beautiful wooded land and next to the ski hills.
Giving this recent experience a fair rating, but under normal conditions would be excellent.
The only negative comment was that the first 3 holes were under fairway renovation and were really unplayable. While paying the $85 rate for 18 holes, there was no information about this condition. If known, would have opted for another day at this course.
Beautiful course … poorly managed pace of play
The course was immaculate and the layout extremely challenging. However, the pace of play was excruciating. A company outing was playing, but it seems the pace wasn’t being monitored. At one point we had 5 groups on one hole…3 waiting. On 18, the company players were all waiting for each group and celebrating on the green. This no doubt contributed to the slowness. We finished our round (2 players) in a little over 5 hours.
An amazing day!
This was a wonderful experience! Course was beautiful and tough! You really need to look at some of the areas you are hitting to over the greens can be a killer here. Most are downhill back to front. Greens are massive and bunkers are everywhere and tough. Love this track its not cheap but if you're a player so worth the $$$
Greens and bunkers...
Beautiful course! Greens were a bit of a challenge....you'll 3 putt all day if not careful! Greens generally very well protected by massive bunkers. The bunkers were well maintained, I only ended up in 2 bunkers all day...but they're as big or bigger than the greens. Fun course pretty open off the tees on most holes but several very narrow...the tempted you to go for some shots risk reward. I hot 6 strokes over my handicap due to those nasty Greens!
Pro shop great with a dated locker room. Food was decent but way overpriced...bring food/snacks. Staff at the 19th were friendly but I think the gal was over her head due to someone calling out sick.
Range facility very nice as well!

Great experience
We played this course during twilight on a Sunday which made it a great value. We heard that this was a very difficult course but if you play the right tee boxes, its actually way more fun than difficult. Some very interesting holes that allow you to go for the green on a par 4, and solid par 5's that give you the opportunity to get home in 2 too. We'll be back for sure.
This place sucks compared to Geneva National
This place sucks. Here’s why:
Chicago d-bag coked out bachelors partys everywhere.
Non stop yelling and screaming hooting and hollering by the Chicago d-bags.
Bar at the course is awful, way too small and closed at 6 on a Friday.
There is a refreshment station after 6 & 10. Unfortunately this closes by 4 PM on a busy Friday. That was actually a relief after the $18 single transfusions. Expect to see the cart girl twice max during your round.
Tee boxes and greens suck. The coke head Chicago scramble parties rip both of them up and they obviously don’t fix ball marks. I’m
Interesting layout
Love the layout and the course was in
Great condition.
As advertised.
It is exactly as advertised. A few of the holes were testers but overall it was all laid out in front of you.
Better than I remember
Played here about 15 years ago and liked it. After this latest round I loved it. The entire experience is much improved. The course was lush… nice fairways, semi-tough rough and pretty good greens. The new practice area is first rate and the staff is top notch. The routing, elevation changes and impressive vistas made for a very good day of golf. Would definitely play again.
