5. Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
Lake Geneva, located 90 minutes north of Chicago, might be surrounded by uninspiring farmland, but the hilly forests near the region’s three biggest lakes are ideal for golf. The luxurious Grand Geneva Resort & Spa boasts an interesting history, opening in 1968 as the Lake Geneva Playboy Club Hotel. The only place to see cute bunnies running around today are the resort’s two courses, The Brute and The Highlands. Lee Trevino, Gary Player and Arnold Palmer each designed strong routings near the shores of Lake Como at Geneva National Golf Club. Life away from golf revolves around water sports. You can ride along on a boat tour of Lake Geneva as the U.S. Mail celebrates its 100th anniversary of delivering the mail by boat in 2016.
