Geneva National Featured by PGA: A New Era for Golf in Lake Geneva

We are beyond excited to announce that Destination Geneva National Golf has been highlighted by the PGA of America, earning a well-deserved spotlight as one of the country’s top golfing destinations. This recognition is a reflection of our resort’s rich history, continued growth, and commitment to providing an unforgettable golfing experience.

A Legacy of Excellence: Three Championship Courses

For over 30 years, Geneva National has been a favorite getaway for Midwestern golfers, and with the PGA feature, it’s clear that GN’s allure extends well beyond the region. Our sprawling resort offers three championship courses—each designed by a golfing legend: Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Lee Trevino. The courses each provide a unique challenge, and no matter your skill level, these signature designs promise a memorable experience.

Investing in the Future: Course Renovations & Upgrades

While leaning into our legendary roots, we at GN are committed to staying relevant, competitive, and cutting edge. In 2023, the resort brought in Brandon Johnson, a longtime collaborator of Arnold Palmer Design, to renovate the Palmer Course. These upgrades included restoring greens to accommodate modern play, expanding tee boxes, and adding new pin locations. The Trevino Course also saw significant improvements in 2024, thanks to architect Craig Haltom, who enhanced the fairway landing zones and made overall upgrades to the cart paths and aesthetics. In 2022, we added a one-acre Himalayan-style putting course that lights up the night and offers the perfect wind-down after a day on the greens.

Our focus on today’s golfer and attention to detail extend to our resort amenities as well. We have invested in electric Finn Golf Scooters and luxurious amenities like upgraded golf carts with GPS, bucket seats, and drink coolers, ensuring that guests are comfortable and well-equipped throughout their visit.

A Perfect Destination for Gatherings

While golf is at the heart of Geneva National, the resort provides a welcoming atmosphere for families, friends, and colleagues to come together and create memories. Whether you're celebrating a milestone event or simply enjoying a weekend away, GN’s natural lakefront setting and midwestern hospitality offer the perfect backdrop for making moments last.

With our proximity to major cities like Chicago and Milwaukee, Geneva National is also incredibly accessible for those looking for a quick getaway. Despite being so close to urban areas, GN’s relaxed and peaceful vibe allows guests to escape the hustle and bustle, offering a rejuvenating retreat.
