Staff was rude

The course was in pretty decent shape but not as nice as years I have played in the past.

Best Course in NEOhio

I look forward to playing Madison and it always delivers. From tee to green it is a pleasure to play. Greens are tough and true, fairways present the ball for clean striking. Love it.

Outstanding value

Played early afternoon; course was in great shape as usual. Greens were in superb condition. Course personnel were picking up leaves on the entire course. If you get a chance, you have to play this course- you won't regret it.

Great Track

We played on a beautiful October Sunday of temps in the 70's. The greens were in quick, smooth and in excellent shape, fairways a bit thin from recent aerification. Bunkers have not been raked or kept up for many days, typical this time of year in northern ohio. Course is tight and tree lined, but fair landing areas. Gentleman behind counter was extremely friendly and professional. Highly recommend, price was great too.

Great value!

Madison CC is an older country club that recently opened for public play. Although not designed by Donald Ross, it has many of the classic Ross design standards, including small and elevated greens and using the natural terrain for proper drainage. The sand traps were in good to excellent condition and played fairly.

The course was in excellent shape. Some of the fairways had been aerated, but the greens and tee boxes had not. I was told by someone inside the course superintendent usually waits until late in the season to do the aeration.

I teed off as a single but met up with a twosome on the second hole as they were waiting to tee off. Pace of play wasn't bad although we had to wait at times for our shots.

Everyone I spoke to at the course was very friendly and helpful. The pro shop, restrooms and food areas were small and dated, but the food and beverage options were good.

I will be back to play this course again.

Beautiful course.

I've played this course in years past and it has not always been in good shape. The new management has cleaned everything up and it is in excellent shape for a public course.

Perfect Conditions

I always enjoy taking the trip out to Madison for this course. The course is in absolutely perfect condition. Green fairways when many other courses are brown. Greens are firm and fast. Will definitely go back even thought it is an hour drive for me.

Great Course, Great Value

Over the years, from private to public now, this course has no challenge in course condition. It is amazing how the current ownership has brought this condition back to "private club" level. The challenge is fair and requires more accuracy than length. The greens are huge for a variety of pin locations.
