Palmer at Geneva National Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Palmer Course is just one of three championship courses at Geneva National Golf Club. The other two boast well known designers as well: Gary Player and Lee Trevino. All of the courses were carved from the lush countryside along the banks of Lake Como, the sprawling club is the second largest golf facility in Wisconsin. The Palmer Course is the most challenging of the three but the Player Course comes in at a close second. There is less water one this course but it still has a prominent presence throughout. The golf course begins with a tricky water hole, a par 3 that is crossed two by a meandering stream. The 17th is also memorable since it plays right along the lake. There are a few homes lining some of the fairways but they do not distract from the stunning scenery throughout the golf course.

Great condition
The course was in great condition. Greens were tough.
Gem of an Arnold Palmer Layout
I’ve been playing the Palmer course since Geneva national it opened. They’ve made a few nice tweaks to it, including taking the creek out of the first fairway and leveling the green a little bit as well as leveling off the second green. I think the course gets better every year I play it. It’s a nice routing and very scenic. Considering it was November 17, the greens were still in very nice shape for the time of year as well the rest of the course.
Updated Palmer
Nice changes to the course and in great condition. They did a nice job of keeping the fallen leaves off the course.
Palmer course
The course was in great shape. There was one group in front of us who were kind of slow, but it didn’t really hinder us, but the Ranger sped him up, but it all worked out and we had a great time. Love the course.
Geneva National
Palmer course was phenomenal shape..Live this course ..
Palmer at Geneva National
Recently played the Palmer course at Geneva National. The facility and amenities are great, with the new outdoor bar/eating area and The Dance Floor putting experience. The course is in great shape, but the greens were recently top dressed and the layer of sand sitting on top of the green sometimes make it difficult to get the speed right on puts. The top dressing should work it's way into the greens soon.
Great course missing some basics
Have played two of the three courses here the past few weeks. It is a beautiful course for sure the last few holes are stunning. Biggest thing the course lacks is ball cleaners and the course doesn’t wrap around by the clubhouse so you have no chance at refreshments at the turn.
A great day
Was excited to see the new updates to the greens on holes 1 and 2. The changes made on the holes are excellent. The course overall is in great condition and our 4some played 18 holes in 4:10 mins. For the price its is a great deal. We have below average course in the Milwaukee area (New Berlin HIlls) charging $65 to play on a weekend. This a great deal!
Refreshed Palmer
Excellent updates on multiple holes, making them more fair and/or playable. Expanded tee boxes a plus. Course in good condition considering the amount of play and pace of play fair.
Nice Course Improvements
The improvements they made to several holes really improve the playability of those holes. Solid course, good condition considering the amount of play, overall great experience. I highly recommend!
Terrible and I love this course
When I arrived bag check lost my bag for 20 minutes not allowing me to warm up! That’s the first strike
2nd strike no warning of cart path only until the 1st tee. I would’ve rescheduled as I have a bad knee
3 rd strike was course conditions the greens were so fuzzy it was like play a $29 muni course
All in all completely disappointed in them and it hurts because the Palmer course is the crown jewel on the property
