GENEVA NATIONAL RESORT
🇺🇸 Lake Geneva, WI, USA
Designed by Lee Trevino

Lee Trevino’s layout at Geneva National is a shotmaker’s daydream, a devilishly undulating dance across Wisconsin’s glacial landscape. The course presents itself more subtly than its sister courses, and presents an ideal change of pace for Geneva National. Built in the late 1990s, it defies the era's penchant for brute length, instead favoring strategic play and a keen understanding of angles. The terrain's generous rolls can make for some dramatic bounces and a few blind approach shots that, while less penal, reward both bravery and calculation.
Trevino, known for his creative shotmaking, wanted to offer a slightly more forgiving test of golf on the Wisconsin prairie, but he still wanted a test. The course achieves that balance, with challenging bunkers, several water hazards and undulating greens to test even the best player. While not nationally known, the Trevino course’s challenging greens, rolling terrain and the overall design will make it a great option for golfers playing the 54 holes at Geneva National.
What makes the Trevino Course stand apart is its welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. While the Player and Palmer courses get most of the attention, many members and public players like this course the best. After your round, make sure to enjoy the outstanding grill room and bar, as Geneva National takes great pride in their food and beverage service.
Reviews
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. All the same great notes apply — awesome property, fantastic practice facilities, and the overall resort experience that makes Geneva National such a great golf destination. As for the course itself, I just didn’t love the layout. It felt like there were a few too many “Mickey Mouse” holes — spots where good shots didn’t necessarily get rewarded and some awkward hole designs that didn’t quite fit the flow of the round. The conditions were still solid overall, but you could tell the course had recently gone through some renovations. There were a few rough patches here and there that needed a little more time to come in. Still, it’s a nice third course to have on property and worth playing if you’re doing a multi-day stay, but compared to the Palmer and Gary Player courses, it just didn’t quite stack up for me.
