The Madden Golf Course is a municipal course that is suitable for all skill levels. The course was built on hilly terrain causing some elevation changes and uneven lies. The fairways are lined with trees and the average-sized greens are medium to fast in speed. Sand bunkers are present on the course and there are also water hazards that come into play on eight holes. The course starts with a challenging par-5, which requires an approach shot over a creek to a green that is well protected by a sand bunker in front. The Madden Golf Course facility also boasts a putting green and teaching pro.

Madden Great Value
Great track. Lots of hills and course in great shape. Greens are very small, significant distances between many greens and tee boxes -consider this if walking, sewage plant on back nine can be an issue if the wind is wrong. Regardless, madden is a great course and an even better value
Just the right amount of difficulty.
I was pleasantly surprised by this course. 23 dollars well spent. Worth every penny. Wish it was a faster round, but it was busy. The greens are quick and sloped. Bring your putters' a game. It will not be uncommon to fire your putt far past the hole.
Narrow fairways here, but spraying won't necessarily result in lost balls. Most lies are payable.
This course falls right in line with most courses pricing in the 20 dollar range in that fairways and tee boxes are bluegrass, but greens are bent. They could cut them shorter, but it's playable.
All in all, very enjoyable round.
Blind Shot Greens
This course is challenging due to hilliness and greens that are not visible from the tee. First par three has a hill blocking the green except for top of flag. You cannot see your ball land on the green. No idea till you get around the hill if you hit a good shot or bad one. Grass was in great shape and so were the greens. Greens are fast when dry. My complments to the groundskeeper ! People were friendly and helpful. Will be back soon.
Good and Bad
Madden is an interesting course. Not very long and only a few place to lose a ball. There are lots of fun hole with massive elevated tee boxes. However, the smell coming of the water treatment plant next door can be very strong. In terms of the golf, the biggest challenge at Madden is the greens. They are so so fast and have crazy amounts of slope. You can miss a down hill 2 foot putt and end up being 20 feet away and off the green. Also very hilly, you will be tired if you walk.
Train whistles and rolling hills
Enjoyable course and nice pace. My only complaint was the attitude of the staff. Everyone acted like they hated their job or just didn't like people.
Great course - good greens
Great course layout in really good condition. Friendly staff. Great bunkers. Challenging greens.
Nice layout with some hills
The course is challenging enough for golfers of varying skill levels while still providing good opportunities for birdies, particularly on the par 5's. The course is very open with no water hazards to speak of.
Great value...just that odor!
I really enjoyed playing this course. Great value and fairly challenging. The only issue is the wastewater treatment facility next door. There were moments the smell was unbearable.
spectacular
When I was young I played Madden regularly but it wasn't nearly as nice as it is now. What an improvement.
great course
The place seems to be not crowded at most times. great place to play
Don't use the porta potty between 13th-16th hole!
The course was enjoyable until I needed to use the restroom. The porta john near the 16th hole was infested with a yellow jacket hive. After entering the porta restroom, I was attacked by a swarm and stung near my eye which caused several days of swelling and tenderness. I informed the staff and they seemed very unconcerned about my issue with being stung. Anyway, the staff was very unfriendly when I arrived and my golf cart was full of trash. On a side note, the course was challenging but fun. I'm glad I didn't have to interact with the staff much.
Great day on the links!
It was a great day at Madden Golf Course. The greens rolled very well and the course was very playable. Rough was a little long and made it difficult to get to the green.
Quick round
Played on Friday at 12:30. Finished in 3 hrs 20 min.
tricky greens provide defense on several holes. Nice conditions for Muni.
Great course
This is a well kept course that I would definitely play again. There were a few spots under repair, but it was nothing major. My only complaint is there wasn't a ball wash on every tee box.
Good deal for the money.
While the range was not open (no reason given) the course was in good shape. A little wet in places (had a heavy rain the day before) and a lot of water in many bunkers are the only negatives. Made putting harder as some greens were a lot drier than others. Overall I am glad I played here.
Great course
Madden is a great golf course. Not long, but reading the greens make it a challenge.
The course was designed by the same man who designed Moraine Country Club.
Good
Nice, well kept up course. I'll be back. Nice greens, challenging.
Bob's look
Other r than the odor of the waste treatment plant which was bad I enjoyed it alot and will go back again.
