Did you know Lake Geneva is one of the premier golf destinations in the midwest? It’s true! In fact, Lake Geneva is home to some of the most prestigious and challenging courses in the state of Wisconsin.
Ready for your first challenge? Begin your golfing trip at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, offering two immaculate 18-hole courses, The Brute and The Highlands. The Brute, a par-72 course, reaches over 7,000 yards and is considered one of the most challenging courses in the region. Consisting of 68 bunkers and rolling hills, The Brute dares you to bring out your best game. While at The Highlands, golfers get to experience a unique Scottish style and updated renovations that add to the green beauty and, of course, the competitive contest.
Next on the must-visit list is the Majestic Oaks Golf Course at Lake Lawn Resort, which is positioned among 250-acres of towering trees and two miles of scenic shoreline. Originally the championship course opened in 1929, and has since been redesigned to suit players of all skill sets! For the daring golfer, they will be challenged by the deep sand bunkers and subtle undulations.
Another golfing gem is Geneva National Resort & Club where you will find three outstanding golf courses–all in one location! Each maintained course provides a magnificent and manicured playing field from their fairways to their greens. In addition, there are five tee boxes for players of all levels. These unique 54 holes are some of the finest of Wisconsin, given they were designed by some of the best players of all time: Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and even Lee Trevino!
Last but certainly not least, Hawk’s View Golf Club takes pride in their 5-star rated course, which consists of 18 holes and is surrounded by lavish landscapes from beautiful trees to breathtaking wetlands. During tee time, you’ll notice the natural elevation changes on the course that work to boost the courses’ playability. Another unique feature of Hawk’s View is Barn Hollow, the only family friendly, Top 10 Nationally rated par 3 course!
These are only a few of the finest golf courses in the Lake Geneva area. The list could go on and on!
