Grand Geneva Resort Airport, (IATA: XES, FAA LID: C02) was a privately owned public use airport located 2 miles (3 km) northeast of the central business district of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, a city in Walworth County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]

Grand Geneva Resort was built as the Lake Geneva Playboy Club Hotel in 1968,[3] and the airport was marked on the FAA Sectional Aeronautical Chart as Playboy.[4] Commuter air service was available directly from Chicago O'Hare Airport. [3]
