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.

Tough and Fun

Very Fast Greens held a shot nicely if lofted high. 4 Hour 10 minute round with 2 couples foursomes in front of us, and a crowded course, pretty good pace of play for a busy day. Difficult course, very windy, shot 93 from Whites, and was happy with it. Not a good track for beginning golfers, unless they play forward a set of tees. Will go back again.

Backed up on every hole made for a very slow round. Tee boxes need some work, greens are fast.

My first time playing this fun and fair course. Gorgeous course in great condition. Challenging enough but not brutally punishing. Great bargain and would again make the 50 minute drive to play.

Give it another look

If you have been disappointed with this course in the last few years try giving it a new look. New management has made great strides in bringing this gem back to it's former glory. My first time back in two years was a real eye opener. Terrific value!

challenging course, nice facilities, well maintained greens & fairways......self entitled crotchety old men....

Course was pretty immaculate in therms of condition. Everything was very well kept. Tee boxes, fairways, greens, everything was very nice. Pretty challenging course (either that or I was having an awful day). Handful of water hazards but lots of sand. The only thing we didn't like about this course was that @ the turn we were informed that the groups behind us weren't happy with our pace of play (Front 9 in 1hr 45min...no reason for complaints) They were always coming up to the tee when we were on the green, not sure what their issue was aside from being old and crabby. They could have simply asked to play through and we would have obliged. Instead they decided to keep calling the clubhouse and whining so that when we stopped in to get some snacks and a drink after 9, management informed us. The manager, ranagers, clubhouse staff, everyone was super nice and even said that this group behind us whines and complains about EVERYTHING so we just brushed it off. Clubhouse manager even gave us our snacks and Gatorade for free for being patient and letting them pass us. Again, the crotchety old fools could have just asked in the first place and there would have been no issue. So long story short, excellent course and facility, annoying, crabby, self entitles members.

Madison CC-overbooked

Course was average at best. Pace of play was terrible. Ranger either had no authority or didn't care to enforce the pace of play. At the turn we had 4 groups backed up on the 10th tee since the first group there decided that they could sit down and have a snack at the snack bar. everybody knew they were doing it, but they allowed them to tee off in the same order, thus holding everybody else up!

Nice course in fantastic shape.

I have played Madison CC in the past but not this year. (2014) The course is in fantastic shape. In the past it was average. Its not easy by any stretch but even a high handicapper will enjoy the round. The greens were rolling nice and true. I highly recommend playing at Madison. All the bunkers were raked and maintained. Rough was not too severe.

Great Course

This was the 1st time I have played Madison CC. It is in great shape with the greens rolling true. The pace of play on a Friday tee time 1 p.m. was outstanding at 3:35. I had heard great things about this course and I am really happy I played it. Challenging but fair.

Great all around!

The staff at Madison is fantastic! Especially the Player Assistants. We ran into some slow play and he had it taken care of. After that we flew around the course. The greens were smooth and rolled true. The rough wasn't too penalizing and the fairways were cut short and consistent. It's really a nice course and I recommend it to anybody!

Best kept Public/private course around

The course was in immaculate shape, and drains better then any course in the greater Cleveland area. Someone show me another course, but until then I proclaim this as the best drainage around. (All sand-based) I would definitely recommend this course to any level of handicapper because it's not too long, but still offers great challenge. One of the guys who works at the pro shop is rude, but the rest of the staff is pleasant. Go check it out!
