About Grand Geneva Resort & Spa

The Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is a sprawling 1,300-acre, AAA Four Diamond property, home to 355 rooms and 29 new villas. 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. It started out as the Lake Geneva Playboy Club, part of Hugh Hefner’s empire. That chapter closed in 1981. Eventually, the property rebranded as a luxury golf resort in 1994 with fine dining and conference facilities for corporate clients. 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.

Brutally slow play & no ranger supervision

I was looking forward to playing the Highlands. It was a major disappointment. It took 2 1/2 hours to play 9 holes and another 20 minutes to play the 10th hole, where I quit. $45 muni courses have better management.

Pristine Course Conditions

Played the brute in July 2026. The course was in perfect shape. Pace of play was perfect as well. The course is certainly challenging, with huge bunkers and greens. Staff was extremely courteous. Would play again if I find myself in the area!

Great course

It rained all day the day before, I expected a very wet saturated course. Nope, only a few holes were saturated but no standing water at all.

Great course,fun layout, is it worth 198$…debatable.

Worth playing once

Great day. Single between two groups .

Was a great day. Was able to stop in on my way back to Chicago area. Got a tee time around noon. Ended up as a single I. Between two groups. Pace of play was good. Course was in fantastic shape . Couple of tee boxes needed a little work but did not distract from the experience.

Over 5 hours to play the Highlands course

They allowed a major outing 36 plus golfers to play on a Saturday holiday weekend. We waited on every single hole
