New experience

Found the course to be in great condition, as you'd expect from a "country club", people were friendly, nice carts and cart paths. Course was very challenging with some rolling terrain, streams running thru many fairways, lots of sand and very large, lush greens. The experience was a pleasant one and a course we will definitely try again.

Beautiful Golf Course

I've never played a nicer golf course for under 25 bucks. Greens, Tees and Fairways are immaculate. Ran into a league on the back and the staff gave us 18 dollar greens fee passes which was totally unnecessary. Will be back again soon.

Good course

Fairways and tee boxes were in great condition. Greens were a little bumpy however healthy. One of the staff member rudely asked my partner and I to leave the range so they could pick balls. This was after we were told by another staff member encouraged us to go hit a few. Guy was a D.

The quality of the course FAR exceeds the $ spent

I almost don't want to even give it a review for fear that more people will show up there. I couldn't believe how nice it was for the money we spent. Very well taken care of course. The greens rolled true and had an average speed. The fairways were narrow but in great shape. Some of the sand was a little we and not sure why but it was actually sand and not some dirt sand that we usually run into around this area.

Course condition is an A+

The greens are championship fast. The sand is clean with the right amount of fluff. The fairways always cut the correct height. If I had to play only one course every day. it would be this one. Stay left on hole #14. The road is on the right.

Great Staff

Got to the course a couple of min. late, due to morning traffic on I 480, but the staff was very friendly and understanding. Nice people.
Even though the greens were recently top dressed, the greens rolled fast and true. I see the grounds crew working hard on maint, a sign of good management. It's over an hour away but I will return, just for the greens.

Beautiful course but!!

They stuck us behind a outing of 40 people. We were to play 18 but only played 8 holes, that took 2 1/2 hours so we just quit. Did receive a rain check for the other 9. Outing was to tee off at noon, shotgun start but it did not get going until almost 12:30 and then there was a huge traffic jam, of course. Asked if we could start on the back as nobody was on hole #10 was told no.

Challenging but fair

Course was in very good shape. Greens were challenging but true rolling. Lost a few strokes since I hadn't played the course in quite a while and found water hazards and traps not visible from where I was hitting. Bunkers could have used a little more fluffy sand, wedge tended to bounce off the sand rather than through it.

A course worth the trip!

The course was in great shape. A very interesting design for an older course - strategy both off the tees as well as for the approach shots. Not many forced carries. Bunkers are there and tough but usually only if you hit a bad shot as it should be. The greens were among the fastest I've seen this summer.The golf now deal made it worth the 40 minute trip from the People's Republic of Cleveland Heights.

Great course, great round

Greens were in the best condition and the rest of the course was well maintained. Picked a good time - not very crowded. The workers were very pleasant. Highly recommend playing here if you get a chance.

Love this course

This was my third time playing the course. The course is very well maintained. Lots of sand and water make it challenging, but it is still very doable. People are friendly and welcoming. Wish it was closer - I'd play it more often!

Classic Country Club

If you want the feel of playing a classic, old-style country club, this is a great experience. Not particularly long, but mature with fairly tight fairways and severe greens. You needed to not only drive it between the trees, but in the right part of the fairway. Greens were tremendously receptive and lightning downhill. Fun when you can throw it past the pin and bring it back, but get too close where you can't get any spin and its tough. Do not go over a green here, had several birdie ops turn into doubles that way. Had two deer cross in front as we were readying our tee shots.

Hidden gem

Before I came here the first time, everyone I mentioned it to told me I'd love it. Nobody ever had a bad thing to say.
This is actually the second time this year I've made the trip to Madison. What a delightful place to play. I now fully expect even more people to agree with me when I bring it up.Beautiful layout, great, friendly staff, and obviously a dedicated and well directed grounds crew. We played after 3 days of hard rain, and the course still looked great.
