What to Expect
Expect a fun but thoughtful round at Geneva Farm. Shot placement is key, particularly on par 4s and 5s, where distance can quickly lead to trouble if you’re not careful. Players with a mid to high handicap will find the course accommodating, but it will still challenge you to think strategically about club selection, especially on approach shots. Take note of the terrain; some undulation in the greens can add a layer of difficulty, and the thicker rough can swallow your wayward shots.
