Course Review
The Good: Well-conditioned Lee Trevino layout is a great addition to the Geneva National resort. Not as intimidating or appealing to the eye as the Palmer and Player courses, this track has an excellent first 6 holes. Outstanding course conditions, very smooth greens, and very nice on-course amenities. Top-notch practice facility and an exceptional clubhouse and service for a public facility. Make sure to eat at the Hunt Club Restaurant after your round!
The Bad: The middle portion of the course routing seems to drag a little and does not provide the eye-candy as the first and final third. A great course, but not worth the $120 price tag. The Trevino course is equal to many $75 tracks you will find in the Midwest. Lack of GPS is a glaring omission from the resort.
The Verdict: The Trevino course is a great course, but still the “weakest” of the three at Geneva National. More playable than the other tracks, Trevino’s layout certainly favors those who slice! Still a very strong golf experience!
Best Hole: While the back nine is not as impressive as the front half, the closing #18 is a great par 4. The drive must be long and the approach with a long-iron must carry a ravine to the green.
