The Grand Geneva and Evergreen Golf course are also options, although teetimes fill up fast, so calling in advance in always a good idea. Consider an afternoon on a Lake Geneva boat cruise, with ice cream cruises and Lake Geneva’s history tour discussing Chicago’s elite including the Wrigleys (gum) Schwinns ( bicycles) Maytags ( appliances) and the Shaws ( founder of the Yellow Cab Company), These families not only built homes but established the area's reputation, often arriving via the rail line extended from Chicago in 1871.
