Brute at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa

I lost so many balls to the water and the forest on this course. It was a lot of fun.

On course pace of play management was nonexistent even though the foursome two groups in front of us consistently held up play, with a gap of 1 1/2 open holes in front of them.
Sand in the bunkers was also terribly inconsistent. Some fairway bunkers had way too much sand, to the point that one could not take a stance. There were also large stones in several in the sand in several bunkers. Other bunkers, including green side bunkers, had little sand and were hardpan, like on a poorly maintained municipal course.

This is a must play course if you’re in the LG area for a weekend. Awesome property with 2 - 18 hole courses available to play. I’m a sucker for an awesome golf cart to enhance the round. Touchscreen with yardages and can order food/drink from your cart and they will deliver to you on the course. They also had cart girls driving around the entire time, so we didn’t go hungry or thirsty all day. They also have the club cleaner/ball cleaner attached to the cart as well as a built in cooler for your food/drinks if needed.
The course itself was an awesome setup. If you play the tips, you have some lengthy par 5’s to deal with. The elevation changes throughout the round made for some interesting blind shots. But thanks to the cart having the touchscreen, you knew your line for the blind shot if you’ve never played the course before. I also liked that it would alert us in the cart of the group ahead of us being somewhere blind so we wouldn’t accidentally hit into them. This course will test every aspect of your game. Big bunkers, but manageable to get out of. Uneven lies, but a well maintained course so it’s fair. The rough is forgiving enough and all of the greens are sloped back to front making approach shots very fun for golfers that can control their wedges/irons from the fairway. Overall very satisfied with my round I played here. I just wish the pace was a little quicker, but that’s to be expected at a resort course. Hit’em straight!

For April in Wisconsin the course was in great shape. Greens a highlight. One of the great courses in Wisconsin. Staff always top notch.

The Brute is a great course, one of the best in SE Wisconsin. But I miss the days when Golfnow used to give you warnings about aeration or cart path only. There's nothing worse than showing up to a great course and being disappointed by the current conditions. Do better Teeoff.

Course was not in very good shape. Greens were long, shaggy ,slow and bumpy. Tee boxes were in rough condition. Bunkers were shallow in terms of sand depth. Beautiful layout and views, challenging tee shots, fairway shots and rough shots, but conditions were a disappointment compared with expectations. Course has slipped down a notch compared with past and compared with other Lake Geneva area courses. ....slippage

A week after aeration so the greens were shaggy. Great course otherwise.

Hard course. Lots of uneven lies. All the putts in front of the pins are up hill. SLow round ( 4 hrs 45 minutes on a Monday) but the ranger did try and move the slow group. Bring your A game

Played this on the way back from the Ryder Cup so now doubt, our trip was nearly perfect in every sense.

Really fun course and the layout is great. Makes you feel like you got away from things but then again it's Lake Geneva.

We were the first ones out and the starter let us go before the other scheduled twosome arrived as we were early and I really appreciated that flexibility. I didn't want the round to end.

We are contemplating a weekend trip to play there it was so nice. We got a great deal on GolfNow so the value I gave this may be a bit skewed.

Beautiful course, tough but fair. Painfully, ridiculously slow pace of play. That ruined the day and is the reason I rated the course as 3 stars.

Awesome course well taken care not one complaint awesome
