Destination Geneva National Opens New Cottages and Upgrades 54-Holes in Wisconsin
Geneva National in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, completed a multi-million-dollar property overhaul, introducing four-bedroom golf cottages and a $10 million renovation of Lodge Geneva National, wisconsin.golf reported. Located 50 miles from Milwaukee and 90 miles from Chicago, the 54-hole resort features championship designs by Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, and Gary Player.
Resort updates three distinct golf course layouts
The resort features 54 holes across three distinct course personalities that all originate from a central clubhouse.
The Arnold Palmer Course received green updates on holes 1, 2, 6, and 14 by architect Brandon Johnson to soften slopes and improve drainage, culminating in a finish along Lake Como. The Lee Trevino Course underwent extensive renovations in spring 2025 led by architect Craig Haltom, creating a parkland layout along the property’s ridge line. Rounding out the trio is the Gary Player Course, noted for risk-reward options and sweeping lake views. Across all three tracks, operators added 10 tee boxes, widened fairways, and updated irrigation controls.
New four-bedroom cottages expand resort accommodations
Accommodations expanded with the mid-September opening of the Torrey Pines cottage, the first of four new four-bedroom units situated along the Player Course. The standalone residential-style units include four private bedrooms, four bathrooms, full kitchens, living rooms, and double-decker patios with fire pits and private putting greens. Three additional cottages—Sawgrass, Pine Valley, and St Andrews—are scheduled to open later in the fall, bringing the total cottage count to 10. The property also recently finalized a $10 million renovation of Lodge Geneva National, updating 146 rooms and eight suites.
