The Grand Geneva Resort, which was originally called The Playboy Club, was built in 1968 by the nationally renowned playboy Hugh Hefner in Wisconsin. The layout included a VIP landing strip and 1,300 acres of picturesque lakes, trails and ski hills. The Playboy Club closed in 1983 and is now home to the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa.
The Brute, a 72-par, 7,100 yard golf course, features 10,000-square-foot greens with large sand bunkers and cart paths that span 5 miles through the course. In 1968, Jack Nicklaus designed a second course called the Briar Patch that was later renamed The Highlands.
The dining options include three restaurants and room service from 6 a.m. to midnight. Other features include horseback riding at Dan Patch Stables, a tennis program headed by certified tennis coach Marty Badt and shopping at one of four resort boutiques.
The Grand Geneva Resort features 355 guest rooms priced to fit almost any budget. Visitors can choose from five different suites: deluxe guest rooms, junior suites, premier suites, king suites and executive suites.
After spending the day in Grand Geneva's 13,500-square-foot convention center, relax to the smooth sounds of a live piano performance by Kathy Fry in the lobby lounge. Dance the night away to the spinning of a live DJ in the Evolve Night Club.
