I like Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries: Development and History by Marvin J. Greenberg. I will warn you: it is certainly an axiomatic treatment. However, I really enjoyed the way that the book develops it. For example, the distinction between the axioms of a geometry and theorems you can prove about them, versus the models of geometry and their various properties, is clearly drawn. I dare say that, despite how advanced your undergraduates feel, they will learn a lot about the axiomatic method from this book. I recommend that you give it a look; even if it is not the primary textbook for the course, you can use it as a convenient source of motivation, problems, examples, and history. (There is a lot of history in this book, and many exercises.)
