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 course, firm greens
Great course, highly recommend. Great condition with firm fast greens. Only downside is several greens that were downwind and down grain will not hold a quality shot which was disappointing.
Palmer Course
Once again the Palmer course did not disappoint. Conditions were perfect, greens were fast and true. Cant recommend this course enough.
Play the Palmer Last
Fairways greens excellent condition. Course demands using all clubs in the bag and playing smart golf. Zach thought this is the best of the three courses
Great layout
Course conditions superb. Greens on fast side fairways in excellent condition. Palmer target golf layout rewards smart play. Zac says it forces a player to use all the clubs in the bag. Real great treat go play
Great course, sub-par pace of play
Course and amenities were fantastic! Pace of play was lacking due to a local who was drunk and more interested in the drink cart girl than playing golf. Foursome in front of them was super slow as well and apparently the course martial took the afternoon off. Drink cart girl stopped 5 or 6 times at the group in front of us so we constantly had to wait.....she even hit tee shots twice with the group bc the old dude was trying to flirt with her.
We played Palmer and player, loved both courses. The days we played weather was hot, in the upper 80’s and felt like in the mid 90’s. We were hoping to take a shower before our dinner at club house, but very disappointed that there was no showers in the women’s locker room. Otherwise it was a great experience.
Best course
Really enjoyed this course, layout is perfect.
Staff is excellent!
Fall golf
I enjoy all three of Geneva National's courses. Leaves can be an issue but the Palmer course was excellent condition.
Great layout with tricky greens
Really enjoyed the course. Great layout with an amazing stretch of finishing holes along the lake and then 18 coming back to the clubhouse. Greens were a little tricky to read. Would recommend this course and the entire facility!
