Destination Geneva National Golf Club

Three championship courses by legends Palmer, Player, and Trevino on the shores of Lake Como—play 54 holes without leaving the property.

About the Course

Destination Geneva National is one of the Midwest's premier golf destinations, featuring 54 holes of championship golf designed by three legends: Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Lee Trevino. Set on the picturesque wooded slopes and shores of Lake Como, the resort sprawls across 1,600 acres of lush Wisconsin countryside, offering golfers the rare opportunity to experience three distinctly different courses without ever leaving the property. Each course is carved from the natural landscape, featuring meticulously manicured bent grass greens and fairways with five tee boxes to accommodate every skill level.

The Palmer Course is the most dramatic and challenging of the trio, featuring elevated tees, undulating greens, and a stunning finishing stretch along Lake Como that culminates in a memorable 18th hole playing back to the impressive clubhouse. The Player Course provides a balanced challenge with strategic water hazards on 12 holes, including a signature island-like par-3 16th. The Trevino Course, designed to match Lee's famous fade, is the most forgiving layout but still offers plenty of character with strategic bunkering and subtle dogleg rights throughout.

Beyond the golf, Destination Geneva National is a complete resort experience with three distinctive lodging options—award-winning cottages with full kitchens and private patios, coastal-inspired suites with scenic views, and the contemporary Ridge Hotel. Six on-site restaurants, world-class spa facilities, saltwater pools, and lake activities like kayaking and paddleboarding make this an unforgettable destination for golf groups, corporate outings, and getaways.

Why It's Great for Groups

Best Time to Visit
Late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer ideal conditions with comfortable temperatures and lush course conditions. July is the high season with the most activities, but expect higher rates and busier conditions. Summer months (June-August) showcase the courses at their peak, though humidity can be significant. Winter is the most affordable season, though some golfers prefer avoiding February's coldest weather. The courses are playable year-round, but spring and fall provide the best balance of weather, course conditioning, and pricing.
