Geneva National (Gary Player)
Geneva National Golf Resort features three 18-hole layouts and the Gary Player Signature Course was the last to arrive in 1995 when the first nine holes opened for play.
The Geneva National Resort completed its trio of course from PGA legends — including Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino — when Gary Player added the second nine to his route during 2000 (he had previously laid out nine holes during 1995).
The aforementioned Palmer course got the resort’s prime real estate along the shores of Lake Como, so Player needed to use his wit to create an experience that lives up without such scenic backdrops. One such example is the daring No. 5, a short par four that can be played the long way, looping around a dividing tree, or the bold way, which would be taking a significant forced carry straight at the green.
The Player may not be playing along the lake during its last three holes, but Player (the architect) manages to make the finale dramatic nonetheless. No. 16 is a reachable par five, if you’re willing to traverse the inlet of marshland that fronts the green. The following par three probably won’t threaten your shot with its water installation, but the wetland off to the left still makes for a nice photo at this, the last of five short holes.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
