Detailed description

Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is a Resort 36 hole golf facility located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The facility has two championship 18-hole golf courses. They are The Highlands Course and The Brute Course.

The two courses were originally part of the Hugh Hefner Playboy Club.

The Highlands course first opened for play in 1972. The course was designed by Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus. Bob Cupp completed a redesign of this course in 1997, completely revamping it into its current links-style design. 

The Highlands Course is one of the first Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus creations that feature Scottish influences throughout its design. There are heather-type roughs and large bunkers protecting the borders of the fairways.  

Par for the course is 71. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,633 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,038 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 11, a par-5 that plays to 594 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 17, a par-3 that plays to 150 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 6, a 549-yard par-5 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 17, a 150 yard par-3.

Another difficult hole is #11, a 594-yard, par 5, which features a double dogleg fairway and a series of sand bunkers sitting in the fairway ready to snatch your tee shot.
