Brute Course
The Grand Geneva Golf Club was awarded the Silver Medal by Golf Magazine and was rated one of the top ten
courses in the Midwest by PAR EXCELLENCE. There are 3 sets of tees on the Brute Course that play to
distances and slopes that measure 7085 yards/136 slope, 6554 yards/131 slope and 5244 yards/129 slope
from the forward sets. There are 68 strategically placed sand bunkers and water hazards come into play on 6 holes.
Designed by Bruce Harris, the Brute is the tougher of the two courses on property - golfers will have to bring
their "A" game to score well here. The hilly tree lined terrain features sloping fairways punctuated by large sand
traps and sculpted water hazards that added aesthetic beauty as well as challenge. Many tee boxes are
elevated and most of the green complexes are raised. Land in regulation and good scores can be had as the
putting surfaces are only mildly sloping.
Rates in 2009 topped out at around $155 prime with great spring and fall pricing.
