Inspired by Ballybunion in Ireland this place is a must play. We are 45 minutes away so get to play on a regular basis. Lake Michigan could pass for the ocean for those not from the Midwest. The lake is in direct view for all the holes but #5.

Doesn’t get the notoriety of the Straits course but is every bit as good. Not on the water like the Straits but still has some awesome holes and is a great warmup before playing Straits

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.

The fairways remain lush atop miles of ancient dunes, while the natural fescue and native grasses provide an authentic test for golfers of all levels. The service is world-class—welcoming from the moment you arrive. Caddies are knowledgeable and personable…

The course conditions are always great. The course layout to me is very old school and right in front of you. However not that memorable. The holes on the river are very scenic and hole 9 back up to the club house is fun.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery 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. State pages include courses across Wisconsin. Rankings refresh about hourly.
