World-Class Golf at Your Doorstep
Lake Geneva is one of the Midwest's premier golf destinations. Five championship courses lie within 12 miles of Harbor on 23rd — ranging from Scottish links-style layouts to Palmer-designed masterpieces.
Championship 18-hole course — long, muscular, and consistently ranked among the best in Wisconsin. The layout rewards every handicap level.
"One of the top-rated courses in the Midwest — greens and conditioning are resort-excellent. Always in great shape."
Scottish links-style sibling to The Brute, with rolling terrain and fescue roughs. Play both Grand Geneva courses back-to-back for the full experience.
"A great contrast to The Brute — the elevation changes and wind make it a completely different challenge on the same property."
54 holes designed by Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Lee Trevino. The Palmer course is the standout — signature lakefront holes and an excellent clubhouse steakhouse.
"The Palmer course is a bucket-list Midwest round. Lakefront holes are stunning. The Hunt Club Steakhouse is surprisingly excellent — don't skip it."
Semi-private gem in Fontana with postcard water views on multiple holes. Tight, tree-lined fairways that reward accuracy over power.
"A hidden gem — beautiful views and well-maintained without the big resort price tag. A favorite second-day course for golf groups."
Dramatic elevation changes you don't expect in Wisconsin. The championship Como Crossings layout is the main 18; Barn Hollow is a great par-3 warm-up.
"The elevation changes feel like a completely different state — memorable holes and great pace of play."
Pro Tip
Tee times at Grand Geneva and Geneva National fill up fast in summer — book at least 2 weeks in advance. We're happy to share the best contact info after you reserve the house.
How a Golf Trip Here Unfolds

Arrive & Shake Off the Drive
- Check in at 4 PM — keypad entry, nobody waiting on you
- Fridge stocked, bags dropped, first cold one open
- Afternoon 9 at Abbey Springs — legs loose, swing loose
- Grill dinner in the backyard: steaks or brats, your call

Day 2
The Brute

Golf Groups Love It Here
“Our annual golf trip found its permanent home. The house comfortably fit our group of 12, and the bunk rooms were surprisingly comfortable. Love that we could fire up the grill after a long day on the course. Close to Grand Geneva and Geneva National — perfect location for a golf getaway.”

“Couldn't have asked for a better setup for our golf group. The house was clean, spacious, and the host was amazing. Everyone had their own space at night but we all came together in the evenings around the fire pit. Already planning to come back next year!”
