| The Lake Geneva area has been able to boast of having some of the best golf in the Midwest for a long time.
On a recent trip to Lake Geneva, I had the great opportunity to visit and play The Gary Player Course at Geneva National and Como Crossing at Hawk’s View Golf Club. While playing these great courses was the main event for my trip, I was pleasantly surprised by the accommodations I was able to secure for my visit to this great summer destination.
Lake Geneva Rentals (lake-geneva-rentals.com) offers accommodations for up to eight with a spacious master suite a second bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room.
This rental served as a perfect location to be close to everything that makes Lake Geneva what it is today. We were close to downtown, within the grounds of the most incredible golf in the area and could walk out the patio door and be on the 12th hole of the Lee Trevino Signature Golf Course at Geneva National.
Lake Geneva Rentals is a completely updated townhouse that is ideal for families as well as a bunch of golfing buddies out for a golfing vacation.

Geneva National added its addition nine holes to the Gary Player Golf Course in June 2000 and now can boast that the best nine in the Midwest is now 18.
I have played all the courses at Geneva National now and I was very much impressed with the Player Course.
The Player Course wraps around one side of Lake Como and features rolling, wooded hills as well as open rolling areas.
Golfers play the course's original first three holes and then branch off to the new holes, picking up the original course at the current hole #4 (new hole #13), before returning to the Clubhouse.
Geneva National can boast of having 54 holes of championship golf on some of the best Midwest terrain for golf. Along with Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino have had the privilege to sculpt the land at Geneva National. All three courses are excellent places to play, but the Player Course is my favorite.
Conditions are impeccable and the practice facilities and clubhouse are outstanding.
Geneva National is located just 4 miles west of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
The renowned Hunt Club restaurant, which was originally the historic summer estate of plumbing industrialist R.T. Crane, serves as the course's "halfway house." Golfers pass the restaurant on hole #6 and again on #10. The Hunt Club offers excellent cuisine with a great view of Lake Como in the distance as well as views of holes #6 and #10.
Legends Tavern offers guests a great spot for dinner or cocktails, overlooking the new Gary Player Golf Course and Lake Como.
The Hunt Club is also available for group luncheons, dinners, and social parties. Call (262)245-7200 for reservation and more information.
The Hunt Club is open for Dinner Wednesday-Saturday & serves Brunch on Sundays.
