The Palmer Course at Destination Geneva National was one of the highlights of my bachelor trip — and honestly, one of the best overall golf experiences I’ve had in the Midwest.

Great $50 walk. Fescue is overly penal. Impossible to find the ball even if it’s six inches in, despite the fescue being only a couple inches tall. I don’t need to be able to play it but I’d like to at least find it when i know exactly where it went

The Trevino Course at Destination Geneva National rounds out the trio on property, and while it’s nice to have a third option to mix things up, it was definitely my least favorite of the three.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Woodstock, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
