Palmer at Geneva National Golf Club

Regular rate at the time of play was $155.00. We got for $75.00 on GolfNow and after fees was approx $81.75/ea, so almost half price for this course was a steal. It was a cooler day, which made for comfortable playing temp. The front 9 was a little slow playing, but better on the back 9 it seemed. Course was in great condition. Greens were on the quick side even after some rain the night before, but rolled true were still fair. The course provides plenty of challenges on holes that are tree lined both sides and others that were open, but strategically placed bunkers made you think position before just going up to hit the ball. I had not played this course in probably 8 years and thought I may not again at the $155.00/ea price point, but when we got this deal it was certainly worth the $80.00 we paid, but not double that price. All and all a nice course that is well maintained and a good challenge. The one downside in my mind would be the $155.00 price point. Too many nice courses within say 30-60 minutes of their location for half of that cost that are more than comparable.

We really liked the Palmer course at Geneva National but it took 5 hours to play. There was a single player in front of us for whom we would see on most tee boxes as he was waiting even longer than us.
The ranger periodically throughout the round would provide us an update and say that a group 7 spots in front of us were slow and he was trying to move them along. But pretty much the entire round was waiting on shots. Not sure what he was actually telling them.

The most beautiful course I've ever played. Beautiful layout and fairways. Can't beat the twilight discount!

This is a wonderful layout and good condition. The problem is that management allows groups to play events like a mock Ryder Cup on a Sunday with a full tee sheet. Everyone behind these 16 players suffer and it becomes a 5 plus hour round. Why management allows this is beyond me. If they allow it ithey should insist upon a 4 1/2 hour pace of force these groups to skip a hole. They destroy everyone else's experience.

Although the first nine holes were played in a pretty heavy fog, the round was excellent. This course never lets you down and offers a challenging yet fair test of your skills.

Course was in pristine condition. Geneva National staff treat you like honored guests. Friendly staff are always looking to help you.

The course layout is beautiful. The course was laid out in the glacial area with rolling elevation changes, mounds , and heavily forested. The course is challenging, the greens are undulating. and the environment is enchanting .

When you have finished playing? You feel rewarded for such a wonderful environment and experience,

Did I say what a great place to play,

I am a resident of Geneva National and play these courses often... a word of caution: Bring water or drinks! Unless your playing on Saturday or Sunday drinks carts only serve the members course. Even worse is all halfway houses are almost always closed. They provide no water on the course whatsoever. The clubhouse is beautiful and the courses are well maintained and challenging. When paying $100 or more for golf I expect to be able to buy water or a beer... even at $10.

Course was in excellent condition. Greens rolled good and fairways, tee boxes, and bunkers in excellent shape.

Only problem I had with the layout is the number of blind tee shots there is on it but the carts gps system tell you to wait so that is great. Unless you have some a group from another country where English obviously isn’t their first language and maybe didn’t understand how to use the gps and they hit into us several times. Was not happy with that at all and should have called the Marshall on them.

Also, do not book you tee time through the course, use Golfpass and you can get for close to half off the regular course rate.

Had to pay for 18 even though knew it was going to get rain in 2 hours. So, with a 9 am tee thought hey get 9 in then lunch while it's raining. Partner and I hit tee shot and finished hole. Cart alarm goes off and says return to clubhouse lightning. Now I get it. There rules are 30 min mandatory before going back out. Sat in clubhouse 2.5 hours with ground still dry with radar lightning miles away. Like I said heavy stuff coming around noon which it did to rain out day. I was sad because would of easily got 9 in but ok. Then, I go to get refund as we only played one hole and though don't I'll get back would only give me rain checks. I offered to trade my 2 rain checks for a polo and they said no. So, guess I'm out 160$ as not from area to play one hole. Sad customer service .... Oh also out $30 reservation fee because that was from golfnow

Course was in exceptional condition, pace of play was grueling and definitely made the round much less enjoyable. There is never an excuse to have three foursomes on a par 3

Beautiful scenery, very fair tee to greens. Greens definitely the toughest part of the course.
