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.

Excellent facility

Incredible golf experience. Friendly and attentive staff. Swift and easy check in, top notch practice areas. Food and beverage staff (Roxanne and bev cart I think Michelle??) were outstanding. The golf course was in amazing shape. Kyle Nash and his ground crew make this place a real gem. Hands down, best and smoothest cart paths I've ever been on. The scenery was spectacular and we completed our round in 4 hours on a beautiful sunny late May Sunday. This golf course is full strength. You will not shoot an easy round here. If you love a challenging course, as I do, you must play here. Cannot say enough good things about this facility.

Enjoyed the experience.

Beautiful layout. Lots of challenging holes. Undulating terrain. Unfortunately it was “cart path only” that day, which makes it a bit more difficult to play and enjoy the experience.

Beautiful Course, well maintained!

One of the two courses at Grand Geneva resort. I have played the highlands course a few times previously and was hesitant to take on The Brute as most reviews state how difficult it is. As a 16 handicap I actually found The Brute to be a little more enjoyable. Yes, the greens are a little tougher but overall I found it to be just as playable!

Greens were newly aerated BUT rolled well so were not an issue at all.

Staff are always super friendly!

A great value on a fall morning @$70 on golf now!
