Grand Geneva Resort & Spa

Sunday afternoon round took almost 5 hours. We waited on every tee box after the second hole, GPS screen said we were behind but never saw a ranger.

Course was in good condition, but won’t be back.

I wish we had known how difficult even walking from the cart path to the greens was going to be, especially on a hot day. The course design is much more difficult than most resort courses. The slope and course rating playing from the forward tees should be higher to warn golfers of what to expect.

The course wa feet the greens fast and the layout very nice

Pace: Waited over 10 minutes to tee off on several holes. No ranger around to manage pace of play.

Conditions: Heavy rains the day before I played, but the course held up nicely. The bunkers were in good shape, and the greens rolled fine. The tee boxes weren't in the best shape (#8 was notably bad).

Staff: Seemed nice. Got me checked in and on the course.

Value: Probably wouldn't pay full rate here. I found a deal online and would recommend going that route.

Layout: Felt like I played the same 3 holes over and over: 1). long par 4, 2). medium length dogleg right par 4, 3). par 3 with carry over bunker. Rinse and repeat. Par 5s are fun.

Amenities: Cool elevated tee driving range. Short game practice area with bunker. Large practice putting green. Nice locker room.

The further you hit the ball off the tee, the more you'll like this course. If you don't bomb it, get ready to workout your long irons and grind with your putter.

Though I did check "would not recommend to a friend," I am looking forward to going back and playing the Highlands course. It was given great reviews by other golfers I spoke to while playing The Brute.

The brute is brutal, that’s for sure. I hadn’t played here in 20 years and I was definitely worked. Sure, you’ll be on the green, but 50 yards away. And it’s kinda funny how those massive sand traps swallow every tee shot. But it’s beautiful and challenging. Lots of big elevated tee shots and great views.

I like the Highlands course better tho.

Course is not long so it's a shot-making placement course where the approach angles are key. Most of the Par 5's have dramatic dog legs so you need to be on the correct side of the fairway to have the best angles. Tough to play the initial round because there are some blind shots where you would benefit from previous rounds in knowing where to hit. Also the greens were difficult and fast so knowing them in relation to pin placements would have been helpful as well. Very enjoyable round on a beautiful course with excellent amenities.

The Highlands course is always in great shape, challenging but gettable, and a great time. There Is almost always a wildlife sighting, it’s just a beautiful place to play golf.

The course was in great condition however we got behind a slow group on the front nine but they let us go pass them and it was awesome afterwards…..

Course was in perfect condition in spite of rain. Staff was friendly and responsive to our questions, pace of play was good. Played this course when I lived in LG and will definitely play this course again before heading back home.

5 hour round on a Thursday afternoon when it's 90 degrees out just isn't any fun. Waiting at every tee box was brutal. Great place but where is the ranger to keep things moving??? He was out there but just riding around. Not sure I'd like to do that again when there are other courses in the area that play much faster.
