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.

Very nice

Want to come back as soon as we can. Very well maintained and laid out. Lots of elevation changes and twists and turns. Many bunkers which were very large and guarded most every approach shot. Greens were very large and rolled well with breaks that were hard to read . Course was tough but rewarded good shots and penalized bad shots. Great day of golf

Highlands

The course was in great shape. We did not see anyone until the 17th hole. I would recommend this course to anyone who can hit the ball accurately.

Away Day

We had a challenging and rewarding time playing 18 holes on the Highlands. The weather was quite warm and humid, or we would have enjoyed the day even more.
The setting, surroundings are beautiful. Placed in the midst of the beautiful architecture of nature.
We will definitely be back!

An Eagle & a Birdie

Course was in great shape with very well manicured greens and landscape. Beverage cart was very attentive and had everything you could need out on the course. The greens were challenging giving up very little to miscues or reads. Greens were soft and rolling about an 8 to 9.
Scored an eagle on 6 and birdied 9. I would play this course again

By far the nicest golf course in the Lake Geneva Area. The views are breathtaking and the course is meticulous.

5 minutes from home.

I would like to thank Grand Geneva for a wonder round on the Brute course. The course has everything. Giant Greens as big as a house. Bunkers that make any beach jealous. Fair ways R Plush. Disappointed in that my 4 some repaired tons of ball marks on the greens, & put back quite a few fairway divots. Don't people have respect for such a great course. And all the cracked tees on tee boxes. Staff was great. Loved the GPS on the carts. No course should be over $100.00 to play. I found a daily special rate. & thank U for doing that. Im not rich. Every hole is a painting of its self.

Could be considered a destination course

The Brute is a beautiful and challenging course, in excellent condition. We got our deal through "Hot Deals" which was unbelievable., but we were stuck behind an outing, (now I understand the price). It took us 5 hrs 15 minutess to play. Outside of the slow pace I would go back to this course in a heart beat!Make sure you use the

Highlands

Great facility. In feel its over priced if you base it solely on the course. Great staff, they will certainly take good care of you.
GPS on carts, can order food from the GPS and they bring it out to you, complimentary towels, tee's, divot replacer, ball marker.
Huge practice facility
Multiple drink carts on the course.

Enjoyed the Brute

Enjoyed the course from the Regular tees. Even with the GPS some of the blind tee shots on the Brute was still tough to figure out. The elevated greens were a challenge on the par 5's for sure. The greens seemed slow to start but picked up speed and could see they keep it fair since the undulating greens would be a killer. Was not a fan of the large bunkers and the soft sand. Got a great deal thru GolfNow otherwise not sure would have paid full green fees. Look forward to going back and playing the Highlands.
