A great way to see all of Geneva Lake and parts of Lake Geneva is to walk the Lake Geneva Shore Path. The shore path around Geneva Lake offers you an up-close view of historic estates and stunning homes with beautifully landscaped yards and gardens. The shoreline of Geneva Lake is approximately 21 miles, but the path reaches up to almost 26 miles as it weaves in and out of wooded areas along the shoreline.

If you are looking to rent a kayak, boat, or paddleboard to go on Geneva Lake, there are plenty of options you can find by clicking the website link below.

More on the two courses:

The Brute

Design: A long and demanding 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Robert Bruce Harris.

Yardage: Spans over 7,000 yards from the back tees.

Features: Notable for its massive, rolling greens (averaging over 8,000 square feet) and 68 large, strategically placed bunkers.

Challenge: Known as one of the most difficult layouts in the Midwest, with crowned greens that create challenging putts.

The Highlands

Design: A Scottish-inspired, links-style 18-hole course originally designed by Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus. It was later transformed in 1996 by Bob Cupp.

Features: Plays through scenic hills, creeks, and lush foliage, with wide fairways and quicker, smaller greens compared to The Brute.

Challenge: The course emphasizes strategy and shot-making rather than pure length.
