Geneva National Golf Club (Palmer course): Just a short drive from metropolitan Chicago and Milwaukee, Geneva National is a natural haven where golfers can enjoy their game and the serenity of the setting.

The Arnold Palmer Signature course is one that ranks with some of Wisconsin's best. This tree-lined and open parkland layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. A must play if you are in the area. The Palmer course also includes a couple of holes played directly alongside Lake Como. A must visit golf club if you are in the area.

Did you know?

Geneva National overlooks Wisconsin's Lake Como, where in the roaring 20s, gambling and drinking were freely available in the bars around the lake. In the 1930s prohibition stopped many of these practices in public, but "speak-easies" became prominent on both the south and north shores of the lake. Many gangsters, including opposing mobsters Al Capone and Bugs Moran, could be found in the area, which was conviniently close to Chicago but across the state border in Wisconsin.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
